6/21 What is the best text editor for Windows? I need it to be small, fast,
unlimited file size, syntax highlighting, and not Emacs.
copy con file
\_ WinEdit. Can search text in a file using Perl regex. Beat that!
\_ Lemmy... vi for windows and does syntax highlighting and a bunch
of other cool things...
\_ without a doubt: gvim/vim 5.3 -- full executable is 500K.
Download at http://www.vim.org
\_ Hm. Forgot to say "not Vi either." No way am I wasting the
braincells to memorize 2 billion unintuitive commands and
enter a special mode when I want to type them. Actually
forget about "small" too. This is America. I found
UltraEdit32, seems good 'nuff, and has a hex editor. I
would use Emacs but I find its Windoze integration
lacking.
\_ Ah, using gvim you don't have to use the VI commands if
you don't want to (thought they're worth learning--I
used emacs until I switched and found the vi commands
easy to learn). Use mouse-highlight, cursor keys, etc.
Easy to make macros, too.
\_ Much smaller Norton Editor (old old runs in dos but works) but it
doesn't do syntax highlighting. It matches parens and braces but
that's it. Full executable is about 30k.
\_ Whatever happened to QEdit? -tom
\_ Never used it.
\_ still use it as DOS editor of choice for batch files
QEdit became commercial TSE (The SemWare Editor?)
I still have QEdit Advanced v3.00, one of the last
versions that was still shareware
\_ well, you could use jove. Dunno about unlimited file size.
and no syntax sytuff. or jed, I suppose.

Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing. It is an improved version of the vi editor distributed with most UNIX systems. If you find Vim a useful addition to your life please consider 19 helping needy children in Uganda. Vim online is a central place for the Vim community to store useful Vim tips and tools. Vim has a scripting language that allows for plugin like extensions to enable IDE behavior, syntax highlighting, colorization as well as other advanced features. These scripts can be uploaded and maintained using Vim online. The contents has been checked and updated where necessary. It is now once more the place to search for answers to your Vim questions. Those who donate to help Vim development will be able to vote for features they would like to have implemented. The past years the todo list has been getting longer and longer. Through donations I will be able to spend more time on Vim, so that bugs get fixed and new features will be added. |
