The Code Editor

When you open a plain text or source-code file, typealot uses its code editor — a fast editor with line numbers, active-line highlighting, and autocompletion.

Saving

Press Ctrl+S (Cmd+S) or click the Save button in the toolbar. The toolbar shows the file's path so you always know what you're editing.

In-memory documents

A brand-new document that hasn't been saved yet is an in-memory document. Its toolbar reads In-memory document — not yet saved to disk. The first time you save, typealot asks where to put it.

Pasting images

In text and Markdown files you can paste an image straight from the clipboard. typealot saves the image next to your document and inserts a Markdown image link to it.

Choosing what opens where

typealot picks the right editor from the file's extension: Markdown opens the Markdown editor, .tal files open the Typealot Document editor, PDFs and images open their viewers, and everything else opens in the code editor.
