Hi Tim, If you want to pay for a decent editor check out crisp. http://www.crisp.com Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------- On 08-Mar-2001 Timothy R.Butler wrote:
Hi everyone, Well, if you've been following me for the last year since I joined this list (or nearly three years, if you are on the KDE-General list), you know that I've always been saying I'm going to switch to Linux on my desktop "real soon." Well, if you look at the header of my message, you'll see that I'm sending this message under Linux - I've finally switched!!! <g> The problem with switching, though, is it's made me realize just how much I'm going to miss some of my Windows apps. There is one in particular though, that has been indespensable. This application, UltraEdit32, is a great text editor that I use for my web page and PERL projects. I was wondering if anyone here knew of a similar tool. Here is what it does:
- Syntax highlighting for multiple languages (including HTML, PERL, C/C++, and more). I really only need HTML and Perl editing. - The ability to add commands that can be performed on a file. For instance, I have it setup to run ActivePerl (Perl32) on what ever PERL script is open at a particular time, when ever I press CTRL-ALT-1 or click the menu item for a my custom job. It then takes the output, and docks it in a little box at the bottom off the tool (much like an IDE would). - Project Files. UE32 lets you, once again like in an IDE, save a grouping of files as a project for easy access. It then opens them all in it's tabbed interface when you open a project. It also has a dockable bar that lists all of the project or open files. - Sub function lists. UE32 will also "read" the PERL files you open and list all of the sub functions in a dockable box. - Spell Checker
As you can see this is a very nice program, is there anything like it for Linux? I may try to run this in WINE again, but the last time I tried, the scroll bars only displayed after I used the arrow keys to navigate one page down.
Thanks, Tim
