I'm done with bad IDEs. I want to find the best that suits my needs. It does not need to support anything else except PHP (by that I mean syntax highlighting, language reference, etc). So SQL, JS, HTML, I don't care.
Some requirements:
- Syntax highlighting.
- I need the colors to be fully customizable. I want the background to be black, and text to be in colors (default text color white). So that its light against dark background - this is good, because my eyes will not get hurt this way! So it's a MUST. Think about yourself, LCDs emit light, which hurts your eyes more or less. If you sit on the PC for many hours, the amount of light your eyes receive will hurt them. But if the screen is mostly black (aka the background), then the amount of light your eyes receive in a hour is much much less. It doesn't put so much strain on your eyes
- Basic functionality like Word Wrap, Line Numbers, Some sort of Code Folding would be great.
- The IDE MUST remove trailing whitespace when I save the document!
- Debugging tools not needed.
- A popup which appears when you start typing functions, variables, ... and lets you easily see what were the function params and in which order and what kind of variable names you can use that are in your project...
- Most important feature!:
If I type like this:
function abc()<enter>{<enter>
it should become like this (character-per-character)
Code: Select all
function abs()
{

}[/b]
Fire me with your suggestions. I would appreciate if you let me know about some less known IDEs.
