Project overview

The goal here is to build a text editor with some nifty features. Let's call it the Footprint Editor:

We intend to include the following features in the text editor:

  • Creating new documents, opening and editing existing documents, and saving documents
  • Implementing common editing options such as cut, copy, paste, undo, and redo
  • Searching within a file for a given search term
  • Implementing line numbering and the ability to show/hide line numbers
  • Implementing theme selection to let a user choose custom color themes for the editor
  • Implementing the about and help windows
