List your favorite text editor.
List your favorite text editor for the Amiga here. I want to know what everyone is using, and why :great
Mine is FrexxEd (free, open source). Powerful right out of the box, and insanely configurable through it's script language FPL which is 99% C (if you know C, then you know FPL). If some feature you need or want is missing, just write it yourself in FPL. The possibilities are almost endless. So, what about you guys? |
Still CED for me. :)

Sorry, I'm just too used to bigger displays, better resolution, drag and drop editing, column mode editing, syntax highlighting, easy multi file editing and on and on and on of a modern text editor... ...say UltraEdit for example. ;) Now I'll just wait for people to tell me all of this is available on some Amiga text editor - but I still won't change :) |

There are probably better editors on the Amiga today, but back then I always used Cygnus Editor. On the Mac I use SubethaEdit and on Windows I use Programmer's Notepad.

If I want to put say, for example, dc.w in front of a thousand lines of text then I can do it with a couple of mouse clicks and typing dc.w just once. Comes in *very* handy. :great |

Yeah I agree. Some programmers swear that copy and paste editing methods and column editing is error prone, but I think it's a must.

The main challenge (perhaps it's easy, I don't know) is UltaEdit's column mode, which does a lot more than inserting columns, but I don't know if it's needed. Quote:

For text... CygnusED, all the way. It's fast, powerful and lightweight. Everything an editor should be.
For code... GoldED. Syntax highlighting isn't just eye-candy, it's damn useful. |
Viva emacs :)

For me it's TurboText. Also remember being very fond of another one called BlacksEditor (also known as BED). And there's always Vim which has amiga roots (it was first developed for AmigaOS). But that's more a life's philosophy than an editor ;) |
Golded and ced

I have to agree with most of the posters here: using CEd everywhere. CEd for AmigaOS/68k, CEd for OS4 and CEd for MorphOS.
Even when we got some better editors in the meantime, you just get used to it. It's fast and lightweight and I don't really need syntax-highlighting. Under Unix I got used to "joe". |

I just wish I could get vim to work correctly under amigaos. Then I'd be happy.
|
I actually ended up using Xcode on the Mac, then did the syntax highlighting for Textmate. I used to use GoldEd on the Amiga, but I'm flirting with Frex now...
|
I use plain ED most of the time for normal text use (amigaguides and normal text files), but prefer Devpac 2 & 3.18 for ASM work.
Which reminds me... how many spaces *should* the tab key equal? When coding, or typing text, everything is fine, but when listing it back using ppmore (which I renamed "muchmore" ages ago, and never changed it back - it's kinda funny typing "muchmore ram:" when I want to display files (I always transfer files to the RAM disk for editing... saves a little on the disk/hard drives, as long as I remember to transfer to the drive before resetting, or running my ASM code)). err... rambling a little... Edit: Rambled and forgot to finish what I was saying! When listing it back some lines are out of sync, despite being perfectly aligned within ED and the Devpac editors. Regards, Lonewolf10 |
