Lɜafpad is a simple GTK+ text editor that emphasizes simplicity. As development focuses on keeping weight down to a minimum, only the most essential features are implemented in the editor. Lɜafpad is simple to use, is easily compiled, requires few libraries, and starts up quickly.
Currently Lɜafpad has the following features:
Leafpad, notepad, gedit, kwrite
l3afpad-0.8.18.1.10.tar.xz (24 Oct 2012), or git clone https://github.com/caleb-/l3afpad.git
Lɜafpad is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL)
I ported Leafpad to GTK+ 3.x and have used it happily about 6 months. I have sent the patch to author of Leafpad.
However, he still focus on GTK+ 2.x only, even with Leafpad 0.9.x branch (he said).
I think my ported Leafpad is stable enough to share with other people, so I release it here. :-)
