That looks exactly like the same issue you would see in your file manager, and it is caused by the settings within Magisk (not QuickEdit). Its been covered many many times in the MiX thread. Go into Magisk and set Namespace Mode to Global. From memory, this behaviour was introduced as part of Androids security scoped storage.
Created an account just to say thank you 🤗 This has been a really huge problem for me.

Hello:

I've bought quick edit plus and code editor. I mostly use it for a easy edits of cut and paste text. Sometimes when I edit in a text app, I will hit the send button before the edit is done.

So I'm looking for a text editor that does font size changing by pinching and spreading actions on the screen. If not font size changing then maybe a page zooming in and out function.

Any any ideas if quick editor will do this or where I can find one?

THANKS

Hey! 👋 I’m about to buy a code editor for Android. What’s the difference between QuickEdit Pro and Code-Editor?
Code editor is an optimized text editor that focuses on coding. It is a handy tool for development on Android. It contains all the necessary features for coding, includes syntax highlighting, auto indention, code assist, auto completion, compilation and execution, etc.

If you need a plain text editor, please search for and download QuickEdit Text Editor.

Hello,

Currently QuickEdit cannot support this duo to performance issues, when you reset the font size, or zoom in and out, the editor will relayout, it depends on how big the file is.

Just bought QE, I wanted a file editor like this one and a couple of bucks are well deserved.
I'd like to have an option to show special characters like tabs, spaces and carriage returns.

oh btw, there are some minor bugs. i am not with the latest version and i couldnt find the full changelogs neither, just in case they have not been reported

1 on my samsung tablet occasionally i use split screen to show 2 apps and quick edit was one of them. i once switched to another full screen app and returned to the split screen apps and found that the contents were changed from unix (LF) to dos (CRLF). i didnt know until i view it on my linux and found carriage returns (^M) were appended to each line

2 sometimes changes were not detected and the save button was deemed. i had to add a space and undo before i could save the file

3 I found it twice that when i wanted to highlight a few lines some contents of the files were messed up, eg moved up a few lines, line order changed/swifted/mixed etc

hope this helps

from 2019
I will consider these in future releases. Not easy to implement:(

I have had some weird unexplained changes to file where LF has been changed to CRLF. I dont know if it was in the transfer via FTP or when I opened them in QE.

Having an option to see the invisible CR & CRLF difference would be very helpful. It breaks scripts if they have a CRLF instead of a Linux LF.

Have I missed the menu item for the feature? or is it something in the pipe-works? or is it a feature I should forget about?

All the other chars are not as important as CR, LF (at least to me) and maybe EOF. But I would guess that EOF would trigger the end of the file in a text editor.

As to "where you can find one", for viewing only (ie RO) you can use the HTML Browser.
Hello,

Currently QuickEdit cannot support this duo to performance issues, when you reset the font size, or zoom in and out, the editor will relayout, it depends on how big the file is.
NB: I dont want or need this, but maybe QE could have a "preview" share to an HTML viewer, of the current unsaved doc.

Hello.
Enabled the file filter. I click "Open". The internal memory opens with no different folders. It would be nice if the folders in which there are no text files somehow differed visually from those in which they are. Then why the filter? Well, or such a scan, in which only folders with text files would be shown. Why show all folders??
The screenshot below shows an example of distinguishing between empty and file folders.

Thanks for your reply. I can see why you would want the editor to load extremely large files. And I can understand how so many refreshes would be too much of a performance penalty. Thanks so much for your answer.

That's a good idea. Right now I'm using the font size change in the settings very often.

I decided my solution is to use quick edit for one font size and code editor for another font size.

As DiamondJohn mentioned, in code editor I can save the file as HTML and then use the execute menu item to load the default browser to see a resizable preview.
A work around but not ideal. Maybe if there was an editor that had a maximum buffer (file) size it would include the font size change function as a pinch or spread.

File size: 158 KB, Vietnamese keyboard, QEdit's cache cleared, phone rebooted. Not happen in English keyboard.

I have not set the default editor for txt files. So when I click on them, in MiX I always get a choice to edit/view the file in may programs, including the HTML Viewer.
 
How can I access termux root directory directly using quickedit when using kernelsu as root? I already set global namespace in kernelsu but it wasnt able to show the directory I wanted unlike in magisk.

Other apps that requires global namespace works when set so I guess it's on the quickedit side that has problem detecting/accessing root when using kernelsu.

Thanks for your comments. I am considering terminal support in future releases.

Currently the new online compiler has built-in support for many python modules already. If there is a module not found again, please let me know the module name.

In QuickEdit it does not support showing invisible characters. If you need it, you can try my another app - code editor, you can find the link in my signature.

In QuickEdit you can choose which line break character to use, in settings page.

This is an infinite scan and may cause performance issues if the file path is deep. It is a nice to have feature and may not worth to implement compare to the performance loss.

    Status Update

    I spent a lot of time to develop a new material designed music player in recent months, which is why QuickEdit has not been updated.
    Now this music player is finished, here is the link to it in xda-developers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-pulsar-music-player-t3197336
    It is named Pulsar Music Player. Please download and have a try!

    So I have more time to maintain QuickEdit now. There are lots of features in plan, and also some bugs. They will be released and fixed in future releases soon.:) Thanks.
