Caret
Based on the amazing Ace editing component, Caret brings professional-strength text editing to Chrome OS. With Caret, you no longer need to install a second OS to get what other platforms take for granted: a serious editor for local files, aimed at working programmers. Caret offers syntax highlighting for a wide variety of languages, and all of the standard themes that come with Ace, including emulations of coloring from other editors like Eclipse, XCode, and the Chrome Dev Tools. Once you've gotten used to making many changes with just a keystroke or two, it's hard to go back to just one cursor. Caret offers multiple cursors and selections, and support for Sublime keybindings like Ctrl-D (select next match). Why bother learning keyboard shortcuts? With the command palette (Ctrl-Shift-P), you can just start typing what you want, Caret will fuzzy-search the menu configuration, find the command you want, and execute it for you. You never need to touch the mouse again.
