### 3/5 — 双击选中无法处理下划线

*2025-01-05*

当变量名或函数名包含下划线时，双击选中的结果错误。 对于包含大量下划线代码，非常痛苦。

其他:
1. 对于没有扩展名的文件，每次进入都要手动选择一次。无法记住上次选择
2. 希望搜索功能可以跨文件

### 1/5 — 稍微大点的文件直接卡死

*2024-08-06*

打开一个1M多的文件直接卡死，等了三分钟都进不去，而且手机发热巨大。15pm性能也不差啊，用其他文本阅读的软件都是秒开，只是没无法高亮。

### 5/5 — nice

*2024-04-14*

体验很不错、同时希望增加检索功能，如在某文件夹下搜索关键词

### 1/5 — Can’t clone from GitHub

*2022-05-24*

Cloning large repositories from GitHub doesn’t work. Tried multiple times and the clone gets stuck at 100% with no error and no additional message. 

The cloned repository shows up in the main screen, but it says there are 0 files and I can’t open it.

### 5/5 — 软件体验太差

*2022-05-22*

什么垃圾玩意儿，付费软件以为会很好，结果连个3M的日志文件等待半天也没打开，后悔死了

### 2/5 — 右端での折り返しをオフにできない

*2021-11-04*

C言語のソースコードを出先で閲覧したいと思い購入しました。強調表示の色合いにより見栄え良く、プリセットも豊富なので、好みに合わせて変更できます。
残念ながらソースコードの表示で右側での折り返しをオフにできないので読みにくいです。
Dropboxのオンライン表示の方が読みやすいので、イマイチですね。
機能追加を望みます！

### 5/5 — 能不能支持一下markdown

*2021-10-28*

能不能支持一下markdown 能不能支持一下markdown 能不能支持一下markdown 能不能支持一下markdown 能不能支持一下markdown谢谢谢谢谢谢谢谢谢谢

**Developer response:** 你好，目前已经支持的，包括查看源码和渲染结果

### 1/5 — Couldn't import emacs github mirror

*2021-04-29, version 1.8.1*

I tried multiple times to import the emacs mirror on github and it didn't work.

### 1/5 — 编码不识别，几百个人文件需要依次选择编码

*2020-08-16*

甚至有的还不能选择编码

### 5/5 — 惊艳

*2020-02-21*

惊艳
