Text Forge Mode Library

Modes status overview for official Text Forge mods

"Mode" concept in Text Forge

Text Forge designed to be lightweight and modular, so we use language agnostic development to keep it in this frame and have highly extendable architecture. To support save/load buffers, syntax highlighters, and every special feature for every file and format, Text Forge provides "Modes". A mode is a module with all data related to a language, framework or file type. With text-based and object oriented design modes can have very small size. (currently less than 10KB for each official mode)

About TFM API

Text Forge have a powerful API for modes based on GDScript, this API name is Text Forge Mode API (TFM API in short). This API received some major updates and currently haven't complete support for older API versions, so we use TFM API badge to define mode supporting level. You can use just a mode with same API major version number as your editor internal API. Minor API version updates may have little breaking features or simple added features. Using latest editor for latest TFM API and new feature and fixes (specialy for modes) is very recommended. Currenlty latest version is v2.2. (All a.x versions are backward compatible down to version a.y if x > y)

Marketplace

You can download and install all modes with Ⓜ️ badge from Marketplace, this feature is available in editor (Settings > Marketplace) and in browser (Online Marketplace), just search mode name and click on install in editor or download and install from browser.
