To UltraEdit...

It's a prety damn sweet editor if you use it's features...

Bay far my favorite are becoming:
1) Tab indent/unindent
2) Source folding
3) Column selection is actually really nice

What editors do you use and which features (editor specific - no wizards like code generators, etc) do you appreicate the most?

Cheers :)

I actually have a personal beef with it so I can't agree.

Granted, I've never installed it. But I have had to use it. The install I had to deal with decided to take over all the machine pretty much. Unmapping extension mappings had no effect. It drove me nuts. I eventually got it all sorted out, but I damn near ordered the IT guy that installed it to reghost my whole machine without it.

Personally, I don't care too much for code folding.

I typically use TextPad for most (read a large percentage) of my text file editing needs.

I use 'joe' command line linux text editor.

Its just simple easy and fast, does what i need... colors php code (and other code too), auto indents and alsorts of stuff i havnt checked out.


The only annoying thing is the backups file.name~ i dont want them! (well i do... but they mess up my nice 'ls' command, so i want it to call them .file.name to hide em, but it wont do it)

EDIT: i take that back, i just recompiled from source and changed 2 lines of code to make it use .FILE instead of FILE~

I run Quanta from a Linux box on windows using cygwin. I haven't found anything that I like better.
