GoKawiilPragtical v3.14 editor adds menus, floating command prompts, session support
The open-source Lua-based Pragtical text editor has released version 3.14.0, adding traditional File/Edit/Search/View/Tools/Help menus, a borderless window mode with an embedded menu bar, movable toolbar positions, and configurable placement for the command palette and project search. The update also introduces workspace session management, a redesigned Plugin Manager, and reduced idle CPU usage compared with v3.13.1.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Adding conventional menus and flexible UI layout options could make Pragtical more approachable for users coming from mainstream editors who rely on discoverable commands rather than memorized shortcuts. The lower idle CPU usage and plugin extensibility for menus suggest the project is focusing on both everyday usability and developer customization as it matures.
- Pragtical 3.14.0 introduces standard application menus (File, Edit, Search, View, Tools, Help) with plugin support.
- Interface elements like the toolbar, command palette, and project search can now be repositioned, including a new centered floating mode.
- The release also adds workspace session management, a refreshed Plugin Manager, and reduced idle CPU usage.
