Post by thread:[EE]: programmers editor for Windows & Linux

Good day to all. I've been using a DOS based editor (Qedit - aka Semware TSE Junior) for longer than I care to remember - works just fine in Win 98SE and below. But I'm finally considering an OS change to Win XP and want to also play with Lindows and Linux. What editors are people using these days? If I am going to have to learn to use a new editor, I'd like to learn on something that works across multiple platforms. I used to something called micro-emacs way back in the old days - I'm pretty sure that emacs is still around and probably has flavors that work in both Windows and Linux. But I'd like other options.

It's a 32-Bit Windows app but retains all the keystroke commands you know plus some features. http://www.semware.com (This is my favorite Windows editor too!) Lots of choices will come with your Linux distribution. Tim -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways. See http://www.piclist.com/#archives for details.

Hi, If you only want to learn one editor then Xemacs works on both Linux & Windows(doesn't need cygwin) :http://www.xemacs.org On Windows I use UltraEdit32, which is an excellent editor: http://www.ultraedit.com/ All the best Mark {Original Message removed}

What editors are people using these days? If I am going to have to learn to use a new editor, I'd like to learn on something that works across multiple platforms. I've been using emacs since about 1980 for exactly that reason. I used to something called micro-emacs way back in the old days - I'm pretty sure that emacs is still around and probably has flavors that work in both Windows and Linux. But I'd like other options. Now days, full-fledged gnu emacs runs under windows, mac OSX, and any unix variant. And there are numerous "small" emacs clones for smaller systems. One problem area remains MacOS9 and later, where the version of gnu emacs available doesn't work on systems with more than 128M of memory (or something like that; less than most modern systems have, anyway :-() GNU EMACS is fully customizable and programmable using a LISP-like language, and many of the clones come pretty close in that area...

I guess that MPLAB 5.X uses PFE32 source code (older version, maybe), don't you think so?

For Windows: EditPlus - it's fast and configurable. I used to use PFE, but IMHO Editplus has some nice features that PFE lacked, or does them better. I've even paid for a licence! http://www.editplus.com/ John P.S. Shouldn't this topic be [OT]: ? -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?

For Win or Linux: gvim http://www.vim.org/ If you're used to the vi keystrokes. You get the best of both worlds, mouse features and keyboard stuff. But everyone has their own favorite editor. I just like that I can use the exact same keys in Win and Linux and just about every Linux system has vi or vim installed. Lucas > {Original Message removed}

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Epsilon by Lugaru (http://www.lugaru.com/). I've been using it in DOS and Windows since about 1990. It's VERY similar to emacs, in fact I'd been using Emacs in Linux until Lugaru came out with a Linux version bundled with the DOS/Windows version. {Original Message removed}

I prefer a more 'normal' editor for most work, but I keep a vi or clone of it avaiable for the ":1,$s/old/new/g" . -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
