TextWarrior is a text editor for BlackBerry devices, geared towards power-users. It grew out of frustration of the lack of a basic text editor in the BlackBerry (MemoPad doesn''t qualify). Surprising, considering BlackBerry devices have such excellent keyboards and screens. While we are at it, why not add programmer-friendly features like syntax highlighting and an expanded symbol screen. Best of all, TextWarrior is free in cost and open-source!
** Note ** This is an alpha version and the source code would only be available after the beta release. This release is meant to gather user feedback, suggestions and bug reports, and will help in deciding which features to add in the next version. Help from Spanish, German and French speakers to verify the localized interface is also much appreciated.
Features:
* Syntax highlighting for C, C++, and Java. Multi-line comments and multi-line string literals are not supported (yet).
* Tab display. Insert a tab by pressing Shift+space. Customize the width of a tab in the Options screen.
* Full horizontal and vertical scrolling of text. Word-wrap is not likely to be supported in the near future. If word wrap is important to you, try BBNotePad, another free program.
* On-screen search panel. To switch between the panel and text area, press Shift+Enter.
* Search forward and backward.
* Replace and replace all.
* Categorised symbol screen. The symbol screen can only be accessed through the main menu. Pressing the SYM key (for BlackBerry devices that have it) has no effect. If no symbols are inserted, check that TextWarrior has permissions for keystroke injection. Permissions can be set in BlackBerry Options -> Advanced Options -> Applications -> TextWarrior -> Edit Permissions -> Interactions -> Keystroke Injection -> Allow.
* Standard BlackBerry shortcuts for select, cut, copy and paste are supported.
* Select all.
* Supports opening of text files created in Windows, Unix/Linux, Mac OS9/OSX and most other operating systems. If the file is subsequently edited, it will be saved back in the original format.
* Near-instantaneous opening of files saved in Unix/Linux format, regardless of size.
* Localization for Spanish, German and French.

TextWarrior TextWarrior is a rethink of text editing with a touch screen. Annoyed at accidentally moving the cursor or bringing up the virtual keyboard when scrolling? Tired of doing finger gymnastics to position the cursor?
