Based on UltraEdit, UEx is a Linux text editor for C, C++, HTML, Javascript, XML, PHP, Perl, and Java programmers...beginners, power users, and everyone in between. A very flexible and powerful Linux editor, UltraEdit is widely used as a programmer's C or Java source code editor, a simple HTML editor, a more advanced CSS, Javascript, and PHP web developer's editor, a Perl source code editor, Python source code editor, and even a hex editor... all on Linux.

UEx features a user-friendly interface and layout...

UEx is designed to give you the native feel of your operating system of choice, without sacrificing the knowledge you've gained in using UltraEdit on Windows. So, if you're a Windows user who has made the jump to Linux or Mac, UEx will seem very familiar. UEx maintains the interface, configuration conventions, hotkeys, and the text editing features you've come to know.

All Find/Replace/Find and Replace in Files functionality in one window

What is UltraEdit without find/replace... UEx offers the same powerful find and replace that is so critical to your day-to-day tasks.

UEx is a hex editor 

Unlike most other Linux editors, UEx has a built-in hex editor. Many Linux editors are limited in that you must install specific libraries, files, and other dependencies. Having specialized in text editing perfection for better than 15 years, we understand that installing and using specific libraries can be cumbersome and time-consuming. As such, we have taken the steps to make the installation of UEx as seamless as possible without the need for hunting down additional dependencies for hex editing.

UltraEdit for Linux includes full column mode support

One of UltraEdit's most powerful features is its easy-to-use Column Mode. Column Mode, sometimes known as block editing mode, allows you to select columns of data (as opposed to rows) by changing the way you can select text in the editor. Column mode is truly indispensable...

A highly configurable and powerful Linux editor

Perhaps two of the most popular hallmarks of UltraEdit are its extensive feature set and its famed configurability. Of course, both of these attributes are preserved in UEx so you can enjoy the things you like most about UltraEdit, while at the same time, leveraging its strength against computing tasks on Linux. UltraEdit for Linux includes some Linux-specific configurations, such as your choice of console for user tool output, or your choice of file browser when browsing project files/folders. Of course, primary selection is supported as well.

Macros and scripts automate nearly any job

Scripting and macros are a favorite feature of the advanced UltraEdit user. UEx includes the built-in macro/scripting engine so you can automate your tasks...and work smarter not harder. Let the editor work for you!
