Oh sorry. No I don't think it does.

It has a file browser pane thingy I think but I always have it turned off. There's a few things configurable by view -> Toolobars/Views

This looks very nice. I'm testing this in compariosn to Crimson.

I love the way it links to the includes you have in the file you're working on. If I can find a way to trun off the automatic output if closing braces I may switch to this. I don't like editors which just put a ")" or "}" there for me. I can and will do that myself :lol: Auto nesting is the only thing I want my editors to do for me :-) Lets see if I can find the setting to turn this feature off and then I'm testing this for a while.

Thanks CheetahShrk! 8)

OK spotted the feature in pref's. This looks highly configurable. Not as lite as Crimson but it's defo better. I shall use this for the next week or so and then decide if I'm uninstalling Crimson. I've been sheltered for too long :lol:

Sadly no it just has the one explorer-like file broswer.

I just found a major flaw that I can't live with neither. It wont nest properly.

If I do:

Code: Select all

function test() {
    echo 'OK';
}
Then it nests fine (indents by one tab after the { and goes back from the indent when return is hit after the } ).

But if I do

Code: Select all

if ($test == 'Something') {
   //Do something
} else {
   //Do something else
}
It does this for me!!! Grrr. I'm going back to Crimson

Code: Select all

if ($test == 'something') {
    //Do something
    } else {
        //Do something else
        }
Messy :cry:
