Code Writer

@ayamadori The app currently supports protocol activation (described in docs) but otherwise nothing specific for command line activation since it's not a CL app. Probably won't request broadFileSystemAccess since the Store gets very critical of why it's needed and may get rejected.

@CodeWriterApp Is there any plan for supporting Command-Line activation and broadFileSystemAccess? This should be very useful. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/…

@DanielSMediaTe1 We’re glad you like the editor app. Sorry, no immediate plans for that file type. It’s not one we are familiar with. I’ll write down your request for it.

My improved Markdown syntax highlighting is 🔥🔥🔥.

Code Writer v4.2 has rolled out to the Microsoft Store. actiprosoftware.com/blog/post/2548…

@lukyt9 If you mean you're looking for compiler errors, I'm sorry but Code Writer doesn't have a compiler built-in. It's more like a lightweight Notepad script editor with many nice features.

@CodeWriterApp What is the keyboard shortcut for checking bugs?, I heard that it is typically Ctrl+B but on your App all it does is toggle the side window, I tried looking in the list but I couldn't find it. Could you please tell me the Keybaord shortcut for checking bugs?

@rthomas95 Yes, thank you. We have a fix for that ready to go for the next build already.

@CodeWriterApp Are you aware of an issue causing the application to crash when adding a bespoke file type to the list? Version 4.1 Build 39. Settings --> File Types --> XML type in ".proj" (without quotes, it's MSBuild file) --> click add --> application crashes completely :(

@4D1Media We've heard that khanacademy.org/computing/comp… is a good resource for learning to code.

@CodeWriterApp Hey. Do you have a program that teaches you how to code? Or do you have a recommendation?

@mayureshkathe Thanks for the suggestion, we'll write it down.

Code Writer v4.1 has been published to the Microsoft Store, containing various fixes for bugs seen since the v4.0 release. actiprosoftware.com/blog/post/2508…

Code Writer v4.0 is slowly rolling out to the Microsoft Store now. This is a huge update for the code editor component, with a lot of new features and performance improvements. See our blog post for the update details. actiprosoftware.com/blog/post/2506…

The beta flight is now officially in the publishing phase according to the Store. It should appear for any beta testers within the next few hours.

The Code Writer v4.0 beta is now being deployed to anyone signed up on our beta tester list. It might take a few hours for it to be published to you. You can check your version from the Help tab. If you see v4.0 listed, click the Release History link to see all the new features.

@petroemil I believe we might already have you on the beta list but please DM us your Microsoft account e-mail anyhow so we can verify. We had DMs off in settings before and just reactivated them. Thanks!

Great news, we're getting close to finishing off Code Writer v4.0! The new version has tons of new features like massive editor performance increases, better scrolling, zooming, multiple carets, and much more. We are going to be looking for beta testers. Please DM us to sign up.

Sorry, we realized we had direct messages from non-followers turned off in Twitter. It's on now, please try again and send us your Microsoft account e-mail address so we can add you to the beta tester list.

@alex_anenkov Our major updates to the code editing control that will use Direct2D for rendering (thereby improving editing/scrolling speed immensely) will likely be part of a v4.0.

Code Writer v3.3 has been released, featuring new document name collision avoidance, retention of copied clipboard text after app close, and more. actiprosoftware.com/blog/post/2497…

@isadarakchi Hello, it doesn't have a built-in web preview at this time.

@CodeWriterApp Does this app have prewiev on Cortana brawser

@McAkins Thanks! This is a relatively minor update but there should be a lot of goodness added in the coming months when our massively upgraded code editor control is ready to put into Code Writer. It will make editing and scrolling a LOT faster.

@GramaStefanluca I'm sorry but due to it being a Universal Windows app, it's sandboxed by Windows and can't run external applications. Please see the documentation included in the app for mention of this.

@CodeWriterApp How to run the program? Do I have to have a separete compiler?
