I started using this new text editor called Kod (runs on Mac OS 10.6):

http://kodapp.com/

It's very very fast, I'm a poor programmer and I don't have money to pay for TextMate, this might be the closest to TextMate that I've used. (TextMate cost around $50).

The problem is.... Where is the preferences window? Where can I set the font size? I need to make it bigger, that's it... Does anyone know how to do that?

EDIT: I think they haven't implement them yet... From their discussion in google group.

Locate the Kod application bundle (e.g. /Applications/Kod.app) and Show Package Contents.

Navigate to /Contents/Resources/style/ and copy default.css to your desktop. Rename the file to kod.css.

Open Terminal and enter the following command:

defaults write se.hunch.kod style/url ~/Desktop/kod.css

Open the kod.css file in an editor and change the font-size attribute of body to change text size. font-family determines which font is used.

If Kod is running, select View » Reload Style.

Enjoy.

Store your modified CSS file anywhere you want. Desktop is just an example -- just remember to tell Kod via defaults where it's located.

  • Thank you. I did not even move it to Desktop, I just edited the css file right in the application package contents. You're a winner! Jan 17, 2011 at 10:28
  • @the_great_monkey This'll get overwritten every time you update the application. But it's probably a good idea in this stage of the application's development, with the possibility of major changes to these files.

    If you edit the style sheet directly in Kod, it will update the styles as soon as you save the file.

You can't. Yet. It's still only a very early beta. They haven't added that feature quite yet. And, there isn't a preferences window at all right now.
