A Text Editor

While "Sublime Text" is a sophisticated text editor widely used for coding and text editing, it is not based on a single, fundamental scientific paper. Text editors are built upon well-established software engineering principles and algorithms for text manipulation, user interface design, and file handling. The core technology relies on concepts from computer science such as data structures (e.g., buffers, trees), algorithms for search and replace, and rendering techniques for displaying text. Therefore, instead of focusing on a single specific research paper, I provide a description of the general underlying concepts. The idea of a text editor relies on the capacity of a computer to handle user input via keyboard and screen. A text editor represents a file in memory, where modifications can happen. The modified version of the file can then be saved on a storage device.
