Gaze

Gaze is a small, keyboard-first text editor for the desktop, built with Go and Fyne. It keeps a monospaced editing surface and the day-to-day features you actually reach for, without plugins or bloat.

Features:

• New, Open, Save and Save As with native dialogs and an unsaved-changes guard
• Atomic saves that write a synced temp file and rename it over the target, so a crash cannot truncate your file
• Autosave snapshots plus session restore: reopen the last file and caret position after a crash
• Recent files list, and drag & drop a file onto the window to open it
• Find & replace with wrap-around, match case, regex and $1 capture groups, plus a persisted search history
• Go to line, or open file:line:col straight from the command line
• Line operations: indent/outdent, move line up/down, duplicate line
• Line-ending aware: CRLF/CR files are normalised for editing and restored on save
• Undo/redo, word wrap, font zoom, optional trim-trailing-whitespace on save
• Light and Dark themes, with window size, theme and preferences persisted between runs
• Live status bar showing line:col, words, chars, EOL, indent and zoom

Gaze runs on Linux, Windows and macOS. Download the latest build or build it yourself for your platform from the releases page, then run!
