Best Raspberry Pi Text Editor (Sublime Text replacement)

When developing on Raspberry Pi, most IDEs are too cumbersome or have not been ported fully to Linux. In their official list, I couldn't find one that I liked. The closest one I have found to Sublime Text is Caret which is free and downloadable through Chromium.

Here is where to get it: Google web store.

It even looks like Sublime Text.

Key features:



  • Project directory saving
  • Stores open files - Valuable given lots of resets on raspberry pi
  • Clean (sublime-like) UI
  • Dark/Light theming
  • Solid code highlighting
  • Multi-cursor like sublime (CTRL+D)
  • Very responsive, even on a slower system
