Pacu is an easy to use code editor that will provide its users with a highly responsive user-interface with low memory footprint.
All of Pacu`s functions are fully keyboard accessible and have been designed to fit on small screens (>=1024x600). Also, the keyboard shortcuts are kept short to maximize finger-friendly typing.
Pacu provides a deeply integrated video terminal emulation. Rereferences to files and source code locations are automatically recognised for most command line tools, like for instance: GNU compiler tools, valgrind, grep and Ruby on Rails log files.
Clicking on a compiler message will automatically open the corresponding file at the point of issue. Thereby any command-line driven workflow becomes accelerated in a generic manner.
