vgedit is a Video Game text Editor for the Switch. It has basic file browsing functionality (SD card only) and allows text files to be edited directly using either the touch screen or a controller.

Pressing Plus will save the file, Minus will close it. Hitting A brings up the keyboard and B will be either delete or backspace depending on which mode you are in (when keyboard is up (insert mode), it's backspace, in the overview mode it's delete

  • vertical text selection
  • undo/redo system
