Penguin-Head Seeking Windows (ugh) Editor 1

[sjpatrick]

Anyone know of a quick-and-dirty, small footprint programming editor ala kate that I can throw onto a windows box?

I have to build a php web front-end for a ms-sql/ie-only based app and it would be a lot simpler if I could do so on the server in question...

 

[Trevoke]

How about scite?

[sjpatrick]

Perfect. That's exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks, Trevoke.

If you're a Unix / Linux nut you may be interested in Vim for windoze.

*Much* more importantly, you can get Emacs for Windows too

 

[TrojanWarBlade]

Now now Ishnid,
Are we gonna start one of those emacs / vi wars?
Each to their own I say. Live and let live.
But I can war if I feel that way inclined!!! ;-)


Trojan.

 

[ishnid]

I'll pass on the war, thanks. "War" is your middle name, after all - I wouldn't stand a chance ;-)

For windoows I use TextPad with the php-html syntax definition, but each to their own

I can't believe I didn't get a star for this!

*runs and hides*
No, seriously, I think SCiTe is exactly what the OP was looking for; I recommend you guys give it a try. While it may not replace vi or Emacs to an aficionado, it is very neat.

Oh, it has a C in it.... I thought you were having us on

Trevoke, right you are.

You should have been starred already for this without my having to be goaded... (blushing)

Rectified.

SciTE has been filling the bill quite nicely.

Actually, I think KDE's Kate is about the best programming editor I've ever used, though I certainly prefer vi if I'm stuck in text mode and need something quick and dirty.

Not to say I'm *dissing* emacs in any way, I just find vi easier.

 

[Trevoke]

Haha, alright, alright, let's stop saying the 'v' word and the 'e' word
I've actually never tried Kate, not being a KDE user, and not being that promiscuous in general.

It's been a while since I've used windows at home, but when I did I used Notepad++. It does syntax and nesting highlighting.

It's available @

http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus

.

Anyone know what I hit in Vim to get a -perl file with functions and e lines i entered...? =) Gotta love Vim, even when it's doing something I didn't quite follow.
