Textpad is still the only text editor I know of that will give you a vertical, dockable, open file list (but TextPad's syntax highlighting sucks). Document tabs are no good when you're working with 30 documents open. And it doesn't support FTP natively, so it's disqualified on those grounds alone, since that's a feature I need or no dice. It can, however, use Win2000's or WinXP's built in FTP support, which I didn't know they had, but that doesn't help me any. [Keith's Weblog]
For me, the *BEST* editor should:
- be multi-platform;
- be customizable;
- be extensible;
- have customizable syntax highlighting;
- have support for a gazillion programming languages;
- be robust;
- be stable;
- allow editing of huge files;
- support regular expressions searching;
- be small (150 mb for an editor? No thanks!);
- be scriptable;
- be keyboard friendly;
- be Unicode;
- ease document navigation;
- support screen splitting (vertical & horizontal);
- have GUI and console modes;
Guess what ? I found such a gem and it's *FREE* !!!
Want to know ?
