Text Editors (for Programming)
April 12, 2008 – 1:05 pmI know vi and Emacs are the hardcore editors, but until I have the time to learn those, I’m stuck with mouse-based editors in Windows.
Notepad++ - this is my current editor of choice - an amazing editor with syntax highlighting, and many other options. It also has the amazing TextFX plugin, which among many other things, it does interactive brace matching, tab-to-space/space-to-tab conversion, and my favorite: ‘Reindent C++ Code.’ This will automatically fix the indents of the code you have highlighted. It works amazingly. Notepad++ is also under current development, so it is constantly being updated with bug fixes and features.
E Text Editor - I haven’t used this in a few months because the initial releases were too buggy. I intend to try it out again after a few more versions and the bugs are worked out.
