- shalabhc 9y agoGood point. It's hard to highlight certain differences because it's a very different editor. In general I think Howl offers a better API and a more keyboard centric UI compared to Textadept. Most commands are operated via the command line which offers auto-complete (vs operating via the menu bar, with custom dialog boxes for each command). Howl also doesn't use Scintilla (Textadept does) and is not subject to Scintilla's limits.
