EditPad Pro (and Boxer - Windows only). The lack of usable editors in Unix is /interesting/[1]. > I have a pretty good one for Vim (the standard one sucks imo), If you would share it with me - I'd be grateful. If anyone else has a vim or X(Emacs) syntax highlighter I'd be grateful, too. Thorsten [1] (X)Emacs is the ugliest application I've ever seen. It has all the functions you'll never need and those you need you'll never find. Emacs doesn't have its own Macro language - it has a Programming language. Great - if you know lisp. The user interface of Vi(m) is the most ridicilous thing I've ever seen. Do they really expect someone to memorize all this "2d" stuff without a menu? My preferred editor has been JED - until after two years of using JED I wanted to do this arcane art called "sorting lines". I thought it could be so easy as marking the lines I want to sort and then choosing "sort" - how foolish and naive I was[2]. (I won't mention that depending on the terminal and OS I use, either the [Del] or the [Backspc] key "don't work" - not to mention [Home] and [End] - this is "standard Unix behaviour" and I could easily compensate for it by investing a day's work for each terminal and each OS). [2] I tried it today again - JED doesn't sort marked blocks if the cursor is just one row below the block (where it's supposed to be after marking a region!). The cursor has to be in the last line of the highlighted region - otherwise JED doesn't sort the region at all. Now that is /enhanced usability/, /really/!
