# What’s new in CotEditor 2.4 on Mac

Improve text finder
  CotEditor re-implemented text find actions by own code. More sophisticated and integrated UI makes your text search process much more intuitive.
Brackets and quotes balancing
  For instance, typing `{` inserts the corresponding `}` then moves the cursor into the brackets automatically. The feature helps reduce bothering cursor movement and contributes to your smart coding.
Clickable URL links in documents
  This new option detects URL strings in your documents and provides them as clickable & quick-lookable links.
Better detection on the file opening
  We reviewed the previous file detection code and improved the precision of the encoding detection. Furthermore, CotEditor 2.4 alerts about a file that isn’t obviously a text file in order to avoid unwanted hang-up.
