DESCRIPTION
Q10
is a distraction-free editor employing minimalist presentation
(GUI) and lightweight system requirements to provide a
clutter-free but feature-capable work environment.
See:
http://www.baara.com/q10/
for more information.
Key features:
- Full-screen.
-
Focus on your work. Even if Mark Pilgrim doesn't like
full-screen editors, some of us do.
- Live text statistics.
-
Word, page and character counts are updated live as you type.
- Programmable page count formula.
-
Specify what formula to use for page count calculation.
You're not constrained to the 250 words per page rule anymore.
- Customizable look and paragraph format.
-
Change the colors, line spacing, first line indent, paragraph
spacing, font...
- Perfectly portable.
-
A single self-contained executable file. That's all.
Easy to use with a pen-drive, so you can carry your writing
environment with you everywhere. Q10 will remember the last
file you worked on, even if the drive letter assigned to your
pen-drive changes from computer to computer.
- Easy to use timer alarm.
-
Perfect for timed writing sessions and word wars. When the time
is over, it will tell you how many words you wrote in that
period.
- Notes.
-
Any paragraph starting with ".." is considered a note.
You can get a list of all notes in the current document and
jump instantly to any of them.
- Target count.
-
Displays completed percentage. You can choose units: words,
pages, lines, paragraphs or characters. If NaNoWriMo is your
thing, this is for you.
- Partial counts.
-
Keep track of the extension of current chapter or see how much
content you've produced in the current writing session.
You're free to use partial counts as you like: up to four
counters with customizable labels and units: words, pages,
lines, paragraphs or characters.
- Autocorrections and quick text.
-
Unlimited autocorrection entries to fix on the fly those
persistent typing errors. Unlimited quick texts list for
frequently used words or phrases, like character names, places,
etc.
- Standard and clean text format.
-
You will be able to open your work with any text editor or word
processor. Now and in the future.
- Encoding and line endings agnostic.
-
Reads and writes ANSI and UTF-8 texts, and line endings formats
are not a problem for Q10.
- Typing sound effects.
-
Get that typewriter feeling again. For the trivia lovers among
you, the typing sounds were taken from the movie "Amelie".
- Small, fast and stable.
-
Less than 360Kb in size, you don't need huge frameworks or
runtimes to use this beauty.
- Autosaving.
-
You can ask Q10 to save your work after some number of new
paragraphs, or after some time has elapsed. If you're really
paranoid, set Q10 to save every paragraph.
- Free.
-
Q10 is, and will be, freeware. Period.
