Scite is nice - I've used it for Ruby. gEdit is pretty sweet once you enable a few things - it's my default these days.

I still prefer EditPlus for HTML / PHP though - it runs nicely under wine.

Once I get my Mac it'll be TextMate.

You know, you could edit just about any editors default color scheme. I did that with notepad++ so that it mimics a variant of the PHP default color scheme for code highlighting.

It is still one of my favorite, less robust, less heavy editors. Notepad2 is my favorite lightest weight editor. EclipsePDT is my workhorse, fully integrated IDE.

Almost everything you get in Zend Studio for $300 you get in EclipsePDT for free. And yes, EclipsePDT works cleanly on Linux as well as Windows and Mac.

Yeah I dig Eclipse. There were a few dealbreakers with Zend that made me not want to use it regardless of price. Not sure what they were now though.

Which PHP plugin are you using? I cannot seem to find any control in the preferences that will explicitly tell the app to turn on Ctrl+Space. There are loads of options for code assist though. But I am using EclipsePDT.
