Mousepad is a simple text editor for the Xfce desktop environment.
Mousepad aims to be an easy-to-use and fast editor. Our target is an editor for quickly editing text files, not a development environment or an editor with a huge bunch of plugins. On the other hand we try to use the latest GTK features available, which means that if GTK adds something new in a major release that is useful for the editor, we will likely bump the GTK dependency and integrate this new feature in Mousepad.
See NEWS for details on changes and fixes made in the current release.
Mousepad depends on the following packages:
- GTK >=3.20.0
- GLib >=2.42.0
- xfconf >=4.12.0
- GtkSourceView >=3.20
The following packages are optional:
- D-Bus >=0.34 (strongly suggested)
