I’ve finally gotten onto a project outside of Delphi and I’m realizing how dependant I am on Borland’s text editor. I find myself typing all over creation before I realized the tab didn’t put me where I thought it would. I tried downloading UltraEdit and a few of the other editors that were brought up in
This Thread , but they don’t do everything I’m used to. I’m just curious if any of you know of any other editors that have the following features:
-Virtual space (so you can position the carat anywhere, regardless of whether there are spaces out to that point or not)
-Trim Trailing Spaces (to clean up the file when I save it)
-Save tabs as spaces
-“Smart Tabbing”(Look at previous lines to find the next column which has a character preceded by a space and position the cursor there)
-Column Marking (but not just any column marking. When I paste I want the cursor to move to the next line down after the pasted text so I can repeatedly paste down the page. This is a feature I am REALLY used to).
-Syntax Highlighting allowing for a dark background (easier on the eyes, or at least it’s what I’m used to).
If anybody knows of a good windows based editor that will do all of the above (with column marking and “smart tabbing” being the most sought after features) I’d really appreciate knowing about it.
