Built around the way code actually moves.
Powerful editing commands, multiple cursors, fast project navigation, and an integrated terminal work together to create an agile, uninterrupted development workflow.
Edit with precision
Use multiple cursors, occurrence selection, smart indentation, line operations, regex replacement, configurable shortcuts, and a project-wide identifier index.
Stay close to the shell
Each column has its own full pseudo-terminal for compilers, Git, scripts, and interactive tools, with layouts restored when the project reopens.
A project workspace that remembers.
A .magistercode project records folders and layout while editor sessions preserve the details that make a workspace feel continuous.
Reliable sessions
Reopen every project from your last session with its panes, files, cursors, and scroll positions restored. Unsaved scratch buffers survive a normal quit.
Filesystem awareness
The sidebar watches your project roots, while open files handle outside changes carefully and never let autosave overwrite a newer disk version unnoticed.
Native customization
Change fonts, colors, key bindings, toolbar controls, terminal behavior, and language definitions by editing readable files—then see updates immediately.
