Xed is a lightweight text editor forked from Pluma and is the default text editor in Linux Mint.

Xed is a graphical application which supports editing multiple text files in one window via tabs. It fully supports international text through its use of the Unicode UTF-8 encoding. As a general-purpose text editor, Xed supports most standard editor features, and emphasizes simplicity and ease of use. Its core feature set includes syntax highlighting of source code, auto indentation, and printing support with print preview.
