Jedit is powerful stuff little endian! Do you know how to manually change the syntax highlighting?

There's an extension for nedit on SourceForge that gives it tabs. Works well; I've been using it with tabs for 18mths or so.

Can you please tell me how to get this extension? I've been looking all around nedit's sourceforge page, but can't find it.

Where do we get the api's from? Or how do we set them up?
While looking around for these api's and the nedit extensions, I found a neat program called TINN. It seems to combine these two cool features that I like from both scite and nedite: tabs along with split windows.
There isn't an ebulid for it yet that I can find. |

Interesting thread. I've been usng SciTE a long time in both Windows and Gentoo. However, I didn't know how cool it was.
I also would recommend a look at Anjuta. It isn't nearly as light weight as SciTE (or vim or gedit or nano...) but it has some interesting features (such as interacting well with C) and looks great on the screen. And isn't that what it's all about?
Of course if you work in Windows you can use SciTE as well, or you can run Luckasoft's Perle or PHPe.

|
|
I'm switching from text based vi to X for programing. I need a good editor. I'm currently doing Java, but I need an editor thats useful for other languages as well. Is anyone a staunched defender of any particular editor? Can you give me some advice on possible good ones that you have worked with?

I've been learning to use NetBeans since this post was made. Its far better for java it seams. I'm emerging gvim now. I'm sure I'll love it since I love console vim. I've got a question about java-sdk-docs and NetBeans, should I post it hear, or make a new thread? I wont ask it yet, I've got to gather more info, maybe even a screenshot.

Here's a tip for gvim, which will make things a lot prettier. Put this line in your "/etc/vim/gvimrc":
Of course there are other color schemes avalible, but I've experimented with a lot of them and I feel this one is the best. If you want, you can emerge the "app-vim/colorschemes" package to get a ton more. To test them out, you can tear off the GTK+ menues and start switching around really fast!
If you don't like the default GUI setup, take a look at ":help guioptions".
If you decide to try out the extra themes, I recommend "blackdust".  |

I have to agree gvim is excellent, but for some reason I prefer SciTe. It is preatty cool since it can hide parts of the code between blocks use tabs for buffers and etc.

At least 60% of the people around here use vim/gvim, myself included...
It's often listed along with screen as being the top two must-have apps. |

It's a beautiful editor. It really rocks, and needs more publicity (than it already gets at least) 
It's full of GTK2 goodness as well.. |
 Amazing!

Preferably ones that aren't from KDE/Gnome.
Any suggestions?

Try app-editors/leafpad.

OH come on! If there is one thing that linux has is text editors! Google around and try as many as you can and I'm sure you will find one that you like!
My personal favourite is vim. I've written a nice vimrc file which makes it behave like notepad (wrapping, page up/down home etc etc.) and added some nice features like spell check latex compiling etc. It also comes with an X component (gvim, but I don't use that). Also it nicely interfaces with my e-mail client (mutt). Vim has a bit of a learnin curve, but once you give it a chance and figure it out you won't go back.
A very nice looking editor that is very windowsish is kate / kwrite. Don't use it very often as it just won't do some of the scripting I need that vim can, but if you just need to add an entry to your diary, that's the one you want.

I use kedit when I need to jot down a phonenumber or type a forum post or something like that. I like it because it's more lightweight that kwrite (which is more similar to wordpad) or oowriter (way too slow if I'm trying to remember something somebody just told me over the phone!).
I have to use Windows at work, and I miss being able to hit Alt-F2 and open kedit in seconds. |

| For something that resembles notepad, try nedit. It looks exactly like it, but also has a few other neat features. |

This link (app-editors) shows all the ebuilds for text editors...
http://packages.gentoo.org/packages/?category=app-editors
I'd go for the one with fewer dependencies...gedit requires gnome (oodles of dependencies...depends on what you like. |

nano is text-based, but is a decent basic editor. Also, give gvim a try, or some other version of vim with support for X. gvim is built with gtk, which is not just used on Gnome.
You could also try Bluefish, Abiword, pico, and so on . . . |
