Highlights of Our Editor

Full-Featured

Smooth User Experience

Sora Editor uses suitable animations to interpolate the transitions of components, bringing a smooth User Experience (UX). The widget also has a PC navigation mode and key bindings for users who use mouse and hardware keyboard to edit texts.

High-Performance

Sora Editor benefits from modern multi-core processors by supporting language-specific code analysis incrementally in background workers. Auto-completion items are computed and published to UI on demand.

The rendering process is also optimized. The editor builds measuring caches and RenderNodes for visible text, which enables the editor to re-render fast and respond to user interaction quickly. Most objects used by the rendering process are reused.
