Bluefish
Code and text editor with many web and software development extras
Not tested on a device yet. What that means
Bluefish in Breadstick
Breadstick runs Debian's own bluefish package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so Bluefish should look and behave as it does on a Linux PC. On Samsung DeX, Floating mode opens it as its own window beside your Android apps, and Desktop mode runs it on a full Linux desktop.
Compilers and interpreters run on the device's own ARM64 processor, while containers and virtual machines, which need a kernel of their own, cannot run. More about development tools in Breadstick.
About Bluefish
From the project's description
Bluefish is a powerful editor targeted towards programmers and web developers, with many options to write code, scripts and websites. Bluefish supports many programming and markup languages and has many features, but is still a very fast and lightweight application.
Note that the flatpak version of Bluefish does not integrate well with other tools on your system.
A selection of the features:
- Well done syntax highlighting which for example supports languages inside languages (e.g. Javascript inside HTML inside PHP)
- All kind of powerful editor features like auto indenting and auto completion for many functions and libraries in many programming languages
- Project support
- Support for remote files over ftp, sftp, webdav, etc
- Powerful multi-file and regex capable search and replace engine
- Customizable integration of external programs such as pylint, make, etc
- Snippets plugin to automate often used code
- Code-aware in-line spell checking
- Zencoding or Emmet support
- Bookmarks
If you are an occasional coder who is in need for a simple to learn editor, or a heavy coder who dislikes heavy IDE's like eclipse or netbeans, Bluefish is your editor of choice!
