Hey coders, what editor do you use?

Feek · 12-01-2008, 20:34

I want an average text editor, nothing fancy but not a VI type thing.

One where I can copy/paste using standard ctrl-c, ctrl-v etc and which displays line numbers.

Wotcher reckon?

For what OS?

A lot of people seem to use emacs for that kind of thing IME.

Terminal - Emacs
Windows - Zend Studio
Mac- Zend studio/BBEdit

Zend looks a bit over-powered for my needs..

it probably would be mate but it is a very good coding tool.

You can get emacs for windows, which I didn't know until just now! Cool!

For windows coding, a good alternative would be TextPad, lots of plugins for different programming languages to make sure its colourised nicely.

I use Notepad2 all the time. Designed to be a notepad replacement so it's nice and light, line numbering and syntax highlighting included

I'm hardcore and still use standard notepad for web stuff including asp/php
