(Ruby, alas, is absent.) There's even a "code beautifier" that will autoindent your code for languages with C-like syntax. There is quite a bit for coders, though, including syntax coloring, Java and C++ compilers and support for a number of file types, including CSS, XML, Java, Perl, PHP, Python and SQL. It's highly customizable it includes editing buttons on the top default tool bars and allows you to create your own options in the "right-click wizard."Īrachnophilia does not appear designed for writing and content editing, since there's no spell check, thesaurus or grammar help. It does a decent job of light HTML coding that an editor or blogger might need, including built-in buttons for bold, centering, lists and the like. If you're primarily interested in coding and don't need a full-blown integrated development environment (IDE), there are quite a few attractive options that were developed sometime after the Beatles broke up.Īrachnophilia is a multiplatform text editor written in Java that offers a fair amount of features. Writing code the modern way ( Arachnophila, Bluefish, Komodo Edit, NEdit).Simple HTML editing (bold, line breaks, ordered lists, etc.): 3Ĭustomization (macro power, ease of creating): 5.5 (10 for power but 1 for ease of creating) Later in the same conversation, though, as he went through a multikeystroke sequence to change a line of code, he added: "I wish I could just delete!"Ĭontent editing (spell check, search/replace, etc.): 5 In fact, one of our Web developers told me that he likes the powerful things it can do - not knowing I was working on this story - as he was updating a script on one of our servers.
I know vi and its derivatives have plenty of fans. I still find line wrapping to be dicey you can see this when cutting and pasting into and out of the program. There's also a save icon, which takes the place of the :w needed in remote vi, as well as icons for cut, paste, find, find next, find previous and find/replace. KVIM improves on the remote Unix vi experience, allowing the delete key to delete a character and a click of the mouse to reposition the cursor (neither of which I could do when using vi in a remote shell in the '90s).
