Scribes is an open source Linux text editor that has all the options that an editor should have but they are well hidden to make the GUI clean and easy to keep tapping away. Its support for over 70 programming languages makes it ideal for programmers to write code. Scribes comes with an auto hide toolbar and a grey default theme. You can search document text by simply typing for words or expressions. The search can be performed according to regular expressions and by find as you type functionality. Other options in the toolbar provide similar functions that one would expect in a feature rich text editor such as syntax highlighting, theme selection, auto replace editing, printing and other verbose options.
