[opensuse] Notepad++ replacement needed
Hi, guys! OpenSuse 11.2, x64, KDE 4.3.5 I've been looking for a long time for something like notepad++. I want something enough light. I tried many editors. Not I use Kwrite and Scite. But Kwrite has few functions, it's very inconvenient. I managed to configure Scite to be more conviniet, but it, i.e. cannot open files from archives, from FTP. And still, there are too many limitations. Even tabs with open files cannot be reordered. Please, don't advise vi or vim (-: Thanks! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Kate is the fully-functional KDE text editor, kwrite is just the little sister. Install kate and I think you'll be a lot happier, it's much more of a developer's editor compared to kwrite. That way you'll still be able to use e.g. ftp:/ kioslaves. Regards, Tejas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I tried Kate. But I didn't even found how to move line up and down. It seemed to me a very poor. Maybe there are extensions for it?

Did you try nedit (nedit.org)? In my opinion it's one of the best programmer editors I ever used (of course, it's a matter of taste). Highly adjustable, simple, intuitive, expandable (simple macro-type language), supporting regular expressions and tabbed interface, syntax highlighting (user defined). The only problem I know of - it does not support Unicode (the last version was released in 2004). There is rpm of version 5.5, but in some releases of openSUSE (11.0, e.g.) there was a problem with motif (scrolling up was not working correctly). So I prefer re-compile it from sources. It needs openmotif. In 11.1/11.2 make file complains that the version of openmotif is too advanced, but there is an option to build it anyway and fro me it worked fine (latest try was openSUSE 11.2 / KDE 4.3.5 Regards, -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This is a little hard to believe. jEdit is a very capable (and scriptable) editor. The next step "up" is a full-blown IDE.

BeanShell. It's interpreted Java, to a first approximation. As such, it's as prone to bugs as any general-purpose programming language. Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Does anyone have any tips on changing the *program* font and improve the fonts used in *documents*? Nedit is currently unreadable for me with my tired old eyes so I could only use it if I can improve the fonts. I have tried using the list of fonts for documents but the listed fonts come back as invalid or wrong type. The fonts that work in docs are unreadable.

Checked. Looks great, but seem a little "heavy". At least when moving a line up or down - whole the text blinks. Still it doesn't look better then notepad++. Still it has the features I like.

Dare I say it? You're either a troll or simply unsatisfiable. Powerful tools take time to learn. Simple tools lack power. That tension is fundamental and ineluctable, like the uncertainty principle. Also, the limiting factor in coding is now how many finger interactions are required to perform a particular editing function.

I had a very convinient editor before - notepad++. All the editors I check now are either less functional, or much heavier, or like vim - I need to relearn to use them. Notepad++ was a "gold middle". I'm not a cool huru programmer, but I spen much time coding php+css+html, altering many files, finding right place to alter. I most cases It's not the situation when I need a project oriented IDE, but a quick editor. Now I feel it was a mistake to ask something here because of many critical mails to my address. We were taught at school that it's not a shame not to know, but it's a shame not to ask. It seems many people here think in another way. I apologize all those people who were injured by my question.

I read through the entire thread before replying before. And I saw absolutely nowhere were you cursed. You should have detailed the exact feature you wanted. It seems you're hinging it all on being able to move lines of code. Yet, if no editor has this feature, and they have the other features you want, then you should learn to adapt to a new way of doing it. Or write your own editor. If it takes too long to use a cut/copy and paste, well that amazes me. Are you coding in a relay race? Change his hard, but manageable. -- Michael S.

Your best answer is to reload XP on an old machine and use Notepad OR to run XP + Notepad in a virtual machine under VBox or VMWare under your favorite version/distro of Linux OR state what features of Notepad++ you feel are essential to your editing activities and how Notepad++ satisfies them and how the offered solutions fail to meet the requirements. Are you looking for a GUI or commandline editor, one that uses a mouse or one that does not use a mouse or one that uses both, and so on. I think this list can no longer guess at your requirements effectively. As I read your posts, it really sounds like you would be happiest with Doze and Notepad++, possibly in an emulator running under Linux, but there is insufficient factual information to actually know for sure what your needs and abilities are.

Yep, I agree, komodo is a great editor. Huge in size, but very good. The reason I harp on kate is that honestly, I haven't found much it can't do. I shy away from 3rd party editors unless I carry them around on a memory stick. Otherwise, you sit down at a box and don't have the tools you need available. Another selling point for kate is that is has one of the best syntax specific modules I've found. It doesn't matter if you are working in bash, c/c++, css, python, fortran, etc.., kate has a syntax file for it that works great. Moreover, if you are editing a file and you would like the tools available in a syntax file (like auto commenting with ctrl+d, etc..), just select the syntax file and you have all the benefits in whatever text file you happen to be working in. A real plus. And I know the OP said no vi/vim, but if you do any remote work, then you really need to make friends with vim. Once you get the command/input mode idea understood, it is really quite simple. And yes powerful. For those of you like me that can never remember all the little commands, then just find a quick reference card or cheat-sheet to use until the commands sink in. I did one from an existing quick-reference card that I liked and used alot. You are welcome to it at: http://www.3111skyline.com/linux/vim-quick-ref.php worth its weight in gold. Printing to pdf works great with it, or you can just save the whole page and copy the table out for your own use. The card has been GPL'ed, but attribution should go to Laurent GRÉGOIRE.
