Unfortunately the lightweight text editors that come with Xfce (mouse pad, leaf pad) it lacks a lot of functionalities, among them the use of tabs and almost always, we have to use Gedit.
However, there is another very interesting option and it is Medit.
Medit It has many features and options:
- Configurable syntax highlighting.
- Configurable keyboard shortcuts.
- Cross-platform - works on Unix and Windows.
- Plugins: can be written in C, Python or Lua. Configurable tools available in the main and context menus. They can be written in Python or Lua, or it can be a shell script.
- Find / Replace regular expressions, frontendgrep, built-in file selector, etc.
You can see more images in this link.
Installation.
To install in Debian we open a terminal and put:
$ sudo aptitude install medit.
To install in Arch:
# pacman -S medit
Elav, what do you recommend for KDE development?
In KDE I used Kate (yes, I know they didn't ask me hehehe).
HAHAHAHA nah don't worry, I was going to answer the same hahahahaha… it's that without offense, elav I don't think he's the one with the most knowledge or experience with KDE, he has always been more than GTK HAHA.
Kate is excellent, really very good, for something more pro you could use Eclipse 🙂
I think the best one to answer that is KZKGGaara 😀
Try Kate or Kdevelop + QT
Cheers!
It is the one I have been using for several weeks! (from when I started using Openbox in ArchLinux).
Cheers! 🙂
I used it before, which happens that back then it did not open files remotely. Now I don't know if I will.
This is something very personal and everyone likes their tools. In my case as a light editor I have "Leafpad", as something more advanced "Geany" and to program I use "Netbeans" ... although since Oracle put the claw every time I look with better eyes at "Eclipse".
Out of curiosity elav, how is «Medit» consuming? From the images I see that it would be more comparable to «Geany» than to «Leafpad» ... I'm wrong
Exactly, the idea is to compare it with Gedit, not with Leafpad or Mousepad ..
and why not leafpad? for a quick editor? I know and I understand that you do not have many options sometimes butooooo, is it very light or not?
damnoooos, I already saw why they didn't add it and if eclipse is very goodoooo
Eclipse is really great 😀… it's a dragon, it consumes too much RAM… but hey haha
Try the community version of IDEA.
Since it was recommended to me, the truth is that I have liked it a lot.
The bad thing is that the community version does not have all the functionalities, but I think that for many cases it is more than enough.
I hope that it would be useful to someone.
Welcome idea:
Maybe the question is a bit silly, but what is IDEA?
It is a development environment, in the style of netbeans and eclipse: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/
It has a community version, which is open source.
It is more related to those who talked about development environments, than to the original topic of the post.
Leafpad I use it as something lightweight, but when I go to work with multiple files, I need tabs that Leafpad doesn't have, right?
Yes, it is quite light, but it is almost almost a development "IDE", something similar to Notepad ++ 😀
hahahaha An ide is in Castilian an integrated development environment and notepad ++ a text editor, it is not about osesesssssss.
For my emacs Rules!
Well for me, I saw rlz xDD or vim for syntax highlighting
Anyway, the editor looks good, I'm going to try it
Have you tried nano for hightlighting? 😉
KZKG ^ Gaara <"Linux, yep and it's hair too 😛 but it's more comfortable for me to see / vim / gvim (:
Is it more comfortable for you I saw? WTF !!! … LOL!!!
hehehe, well you know, in tastes and colors ... xD
Thank you friend for the contributions, your suggestions and / or alternatives are always welcome. 😀
Good editor, but it would be worth installing the Plugins for Gedit, although it does not hurt to try this alternative to see how it works.
Thanks elav;)!
Regards!
