🤔 Purpose

This project was created to demonstrate some of the topics covered in the Java course (OOP, Exceptions and Assertions, Searching Algorithms, GUI and Event Driven Programming, Files and Text Manipulation). Beside that, we wanted to create something special and more challenging.

The Notepad editor on Windows served as our inspiration for this project. It began as a simple panel with only two functions, however it gradually improved and began to resemble a real text editor. We decided to include some features that were similar to those found in the Windows Notepad version, as well as some new ones that we thought would be cool and useful. 😄

In the last commit another tool was added, now the user can check if he has misspelled any word during writing. The whole text is analyzed and the wrong words are highlighter in red. Then it is taken a step further because the user can right-click the highlighted text and then select a correction for the word. This way the correction can be more accurate and with fewer keystrokes.

• Text Fields, Keyboard Events, Personal Directory, Update Title on file change, word count, character count, line count, and more. 📈
