LE is a text editor which appears similar to the Norton Editor, but has many additional features:[2][3][4]
- Rectangle select/copy/paste (block type is switchable)
- Search/replace with regular expressions
- Filtering block contents through an external program
- Linear multilevel undo/redo
- Customizable menus
- Color syntax highlighting (using regular expressions in an external file)
- Handles UTF-8 characters, based on locale settings
- Customizable keymaps for different terminal types (associating either literal strings or terminfo capability names)
- Hexadecimal editing mode
- Editing of mmap'd files or devices in replace mode
- Frame drawing mode (first seen in Lexicon)
- File selection box (inspired by Turbo C)
- Built-in postfix calculator.
It uses ncurses for display, mouse and part of the keyboard handling. The application has a built-in table of key assignments for xterm, rxvt and some less familiar terminal types.
