LEA version 0.94

LEA is a Lightweight Editor for Ada

:new: Changes since last announcement here:

  • For Ada or .gpr code, the copy operation puts an HTML-formatted version of the selection into the clipboard.
  • Copy operation: when nothing is selected, copy the current line (VS / VS Code - style).
  • Added “Alire mode”. The user can control alr build and alr run: Build → alr build; Run → alr run.
  • LEA checks externally changed files and provide options to the user for handling that.
  • Minor improvements (menu texts, colors, …)

Needless to say, the first item is perhaps the most valuable as you can now impress and/or annoy your coworkers :wink: with e-mails containing formatted source code excerpts, like in this example:

The LEA executable is standalone, holds in 4 MB and doesn’t require an installation procedure.

Features:

  • Multi-document
  • Multiple undo’s & redo’s
  • Multi-line (vertical) & multi-point edit, rectangular selections
  • Color themes, easy to switch
  • Duplication of lines and selections
  • Syntax highlighting
  • Parenthesis matching
  • Bookmarks
  • Includes HAC, the HAC Ada Compiler
  • Smart editor features (auto-completion, navigation, mouse-hover infos)
  • Includes numerous examples of Ada programs, ready to be run
  • Single executable, runs without installation
  • Free, Open-Source

LEA is programmed in Ada, as well as HAC.

Enjoy!
