URL Validator Plugin

URLs are all around us, sitting in text files which, when rendered, make up the fabric of the world-wide web. For as many good links there are, there are probably just as many URLs to non-existent web pages. If you enter URLs by hand, there are also opportunities for making fat-finger mistakes. Wouldn’t it be great if your text editor had some ability to verify any embedded URLs in its files?

Well, if your text editor is TKE, you do with the help of the URL validator plugin.

After the plugin is installed, going to the Plugins / URL Validator menu will display a few options. You can have the plugin find and validate all embedded URLs in the current file. You can select any URL-styled text and verify that text selection’s validity. You can also bring up an entry field in which you can enter a URL directly and verify it.

Super simple. Super handy. What else would you expect?
