Basically, it's a lot like Kwrite without the heavy baggage of the KDE runtime libraries, it just uses Qt 5.
It's in upstream Debian, but I also have backports to Stretch and compatible Ubuntu releases here: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show ... Featherpad

Re: Light yet featureful Qt text editor Featherpad 0.8 relea
i installed the 0.8 release yesterday.
i think i heard someone say that featherpad is a little buggy, but full of features and plugins and whatnot.
not sure where i heard it, but featherpad is not that!
it has syntax highlighting, but apart from that it's very limited:
- nonsensical limitations like not more than 20 files in history
- one fixed color scheme, switchable between light and dark
- a woeful lack of useful keyboard shortcuts
i am using geany, and compared to that it's not even particularly lightweight.
i don't want to dis, but i wonder if i just dreamed about the hype or maybe i'm really missing something?
i also tried the git master version now, but it seems to be the same.
