I like this program. Its a syntax highlighter with some other small features, but it can really be helpful for picking up typos in your programs. It can edit any type of text file, so its not limited to editing any type of programming.

For my purposes (PHP) EditPlus works fine for syntax highlighting. Editors with big project management sidebars are too bloated for my tastes. EditPlus is like Notepad, only with pretty colors and more options. Also, the Editeur page doesn't mention anything about being able to customize exactly how the syntax highlighting works, which you can do in EditPlus.

Your shit smells bad, my shit smells like strawberries!


Okay, I'm biased.

Hey, thanks Zem. I only use Editeur really for PHP myself, and EditPlus I find better, too. The highlighting is Editeur is also pretty ugly, tan highlighter and such.

As long as it has syntax highlighting, auto-indent, and emacs motion keys (or vi modes), I'm happy. It's the font that I get really bent out of shape over. Ever since I've used 6x13 in X11, most other fonts look ugly to me for viewing/editing code.

Notepad++ is the only one I can recommend. It's very versatile, has a nice interface and has many many features. Tabs, highlightning on many languages (and you can specify own), nice indents, line count and .. it looks nice

I advice you all to try it atleast a bit, if you don't like it, fine, but just try it

I use TextPad myself. User-definable color coding (rubikon support available by request), smart indentation, Regular Expressions on search/replace, capture compiler output and just click on the error to open that file on that line, ability to doubleclick #includes, bookmarks, line numbers, Block Select (like in a console window), sortage of columns (defaults to Tab, but could use any character)... and I'll just ignore the workspace support.

I also use it to read ordinary TXT files if only because it supports other kinds of newline characters, which sure makes reading those Star Trek scripts feasable. Notepad chokes on 'em.

Edit: And each and every URL found can be doubleclicked upon.

Yes, EditPadPro is definitely the number one out there. Too bad my trial version expired . But now I'm using PHPBuilder 2005 for PHP and Dev-C++ for C stuff.

EditPad Pro has some very nice features that EditPlus lacks, such as highlighting corresponding parentheses, braces, etc (very useful) and full support for heredoc syntax, as well as a more helpful regex find (and replace) interface. However, I have a couple of problems with it which prevent me from switching to it. One, the various options in the menus don't have any form of checkmarks or anything that say whether they're active or not. Some of these have equivalents on the toolbar that are look like pressed buttons when they're active, but some don't, and it's inconvenient to have to experiment to find out whether or not they're on. Two, the "view in browser" option doesn't do anything at all. I checked the manual, and it said something along the lines of "if this doesn't work, your browser is configured incorrectly" which is not at all fucking helpful. (Actually, it seems to work with .html files, which open in my default browser. PHP files, it does nothing with. I don't know how to fix this. It certainly doesn't go by file associations, because it opens .txt files in notepad.) Speaking of preview in browser, EditPlus has a nice option where if a file is in a certain directory, it can replace that with something I specify, such as replacing G:\Apache2\htdocs\whatever with http://127.0.0.1/whatever so I can preview my PHP shit easily. I couldn't find any such option in EditPad Pro, which seems odd because it covers so many other bases and that seems like a really good one. Also, I can't easily customize the syntax coloring (or if I can, it's not readily apparent how), so I can't change the text to light-on-dark as opposed to the eyeball-boiling dark-on-light it is now. Oh, also it doesn't integrate into the Windows context menus like EditPlus very handily does. Still, aside from these things EditPad Pro >= EditPlus in every regard.

Crimson Editor is a pretty nice one too, with file uploading when saving and everything.

But from the text editors I've tried, I don't want to pick one that costs, it feels kind of stupid to me to pay for an editor when there are so many good free ones out there.

And don't forget to try notepad++ that I mentioned earlier, it's free and open source >(

Psh.

TextPad is the best I've used so far.

But seriously, I think most of these have more features than we'll ever use.

Changing colors in EditPad Pro: Options -> Preferences -> Appearence tab. They're in the list. The tools tab together with a quick batch file or perl script can take care of most "custom previews" a la replacing file path with URL. Viewing in browser works for me.

I've also noticed the lack of checkmarks when enabling and disabling Rectangular selections, it doesn't support Unicode in the slightest and there are some killer features like the file path <-> URL conversion that I miss but otherwise it's the best text editor I know of.

PHP requires server software that is PHP enabled. That is why PHP doesn't work with open in default browser. Internet browsers can process HTML because that is built into them.

I wonder how PHP works when you said it did work

I would think that EditPlus has an option to disable integration into the windows right click menu. But I haven't used it.

My choice of editor is Textpad. I don't know how people can use VI and emacs' only useful feature is parenthesis balancing. Since I program in Java, it has nice shortcuts to compile my stuff without me going to command line. But anyways, if it works for you, then use it.

Yes, thank you. I know how PHP works. What I'm saying is the "view in browser" option does not open my browser when I have a PHP file open in the editor. Naturally it would also need to go through my local server as I was saying EditPlus has the ability to do automatically. I was figuring that if EditPad Pro had a "view in browser" option available for PHP files, it might have some configuration available which would make that option useful. I'll try the tools thing for that as Jesper suggested.

oddly enough i've regressed in a way as far as what editors i've been using for my programming work. I used to use a single program for all, it was either TextPad or Context, a few months ago. After a virus whipped out a few files, i ended up reverted back to using individual less general editors and IDE's...

although Notepad++ isn't looking too bad. i'm going to scope out a few others and see if i can't find something nice for most of my programming.

I use Syn. It has a few quirks, but they can be remedied usually, and it's free.
