Scribes is a lightweight free text editor for GNOME licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPLv3).

Features

Its features include crash-recovery via automatic saving, syntax highlighting, snippets, automatic word completion, pair character completion, smart indentation, bookmarks, and various text editing functions. However, it does not provide the options to turn off some of those features, such as involuntary automatic saving (which can overwrite the old version of opened file without user's consent).
