User-friendly Interface and Layout
UltraEdit for Linux (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. UltraEdit for Linux maintains the interface, configuration conventions, hotkeys, and the text editing features you've come to know.

Find & Replace
When you think of UltraEdit's most robust features, one of the first that comes to mind is Find/Replace and Find in Files/Replace in Files. UltraEdit for Linux offers the powerful find/replace functionality enjoyed by millions of Windows users for years, with support for regular expressions (Perl, Unix, and Legacy), column-based find and replace, list lines containing string, and a whole lot more.

Full Hex Editing Support
Unlike most other Linux editors, UltraEdit for Linux 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 more than 15 years, UltraEdit (formerly IDM Computer Solutions) understand that installing and using specific libraries can be cumbersome and time-consuming. As such, they 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.

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.

Highly Configurable and Powerul 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 and 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.

Highly Configurable GUI
With file tabs, multiple split windows capability, child window docking controls and more.
