About:
QScintilla2 is a Qt port of the Scintilla source code editing component. It provides a highly feature-rich, cross-platform text editor widget for native applications. Its main value proposition is offering advanced editing features like syntax highlighting, code folding, and call tips directly within Qt-based software.
Key Features:
  • Advanced syntax highlighting and styling
  • Code folding and automatic indentation
  • Multi-view and multi-edit capabilities
  • Brace matching and error indicators
  • Support for call tips and auto-completion
Use Cases:
  • Building custom Integrated Development Environments (IDEs)
  • Creating code editors for specialized applications
  • Adding advanced text editing capabilities to Qt projects
Alternatives:
  • QPlainTextEdit/QTextEdit – Built-in Qt widgets that are simpler and suitable for basic text display, but lack advanced code editing features.
