It's a risky choice of name for an editor ;) Reminds me of the 90's British boy band band who were once called East-17 then the front man for them admitted to being a bit of an idiot with something called "E" :P They got a load of bad press then had the genius idea to rename the band to E-17. They crumbled.

If e does behave like TextMate and supports its bundles completely then I'd strongly recommend trying it if you're a windows user. I always prefer TextMate on OS X and it's the first editor I actually though it was worth dipping into my pocket for. I love it (despite its one major downfall -- it borks when accessing NFS or Samba shares).

~ole, I'd be interested to know what sort of extensions you've made to TextMate since I'm thinking of writing a SimpleTest runner for it.

Just a couple of snippet additions to the shell-script bundle and a bunch of general text editing macros in my own. What is it you want to know? The online manual is very good for bundle production and the forums are good too.

Oh I also did a snippet of "$this->" for "t".

I don't know :lol:

Seriously though, I haven't actually gotten as far as making a start or even reading the docs yet. It was just something I knew was possible and wanted to have a stab at :)

If you're using NotePad because of memory constraints, then try ConText - its free, light-weight & has highlighting.
