CodeDetective : A source code studying tool

Finally the alpha release of my source code studying tool is ready. Its called CodeDetective. This version is a pre-release so it could be buggy, as long as it doesn't crash i would say its good, also, its missing a lot of things at this time.  

Features:
  1. It supports ctags, It also comes with ctags binary taken from the ctags website. In order to search tags, run "ctags -Rn" in the project folder and it should be able to read the ctags tags file to perform regexp search over tags.
  2. It comes with find and grep functionality.
  3. The default page is called study, where in if you open files and close them it records this information , also it records your bookmarks, find (also uses regexp) files searchs, findgrep searches and tag searches.
  4. You can record Todo, Note and some small pieces of code for later references.
  5. Its not an IDE, its a source code studying tool. Wouldn't recommend saving files using this.
  6. It comes with fakevim editor that has been integrated with it. So, you can use vim commands(basic) after clicking on the editor itself.
Here is the url: https://github.com/r9al/CodeDetective/releases How to use:
  1. Use the explorer tree to select the appropriate folder.
  2. Click on "Set as Project Folder" in "Project" menu. (Open project is no longer relevant so no need to even click them)
  3. Search away.
  4. Once done save study and close project.
