2025-01-31T22:18:20Z

I'm working on a simple GTK3 text editor. I've been using Mousepad on a daily basis, but it has a lot of options I don't use and a few that drive me crazy (multiple tabs). Since I have to work with submitted text and feed it to Wordpress every day, I missed the option to remove the most common typos in a single click. I've named the program "Typobuster", as its basic purpose is to correct common mistakes. I plan to add only those Mousepad options that I actually use. See https://github.com/nwg-piotr/typobuster.

Hopefully this will come true one day.
