a better editor?

Archives Forums/Linux Discussion/a better editor?

Captain Wicker (crazy hillbilly)(Posted 2012) [#1]
is there any other editor or ide available for linux at the moment? Perhaps with a more complete syntax highlighting? I have already tried the MaxIDE CE but is there anything else that can be used? Something like BLIde would really be useful.

Rest is described in the geany-docs.

PS: in the German forum you will find a modified geany-source (to provide better rem-endrem-block-recognition).

Feel free to add Keyword-recognition to geany.

Wow! I love Geany! That's very cool.


Derron(Posted 2012) [#4]
in case you want to modify geany itself (more advanced things than syntax highlighting involve the support in the geany core):

geanysrc/scintilla/lexers/LexBasic.cxx

There you can add further things like 'bbdoc: etc.
Feel free to also modify the catalogue-files (i don't use it ... so no details here) or parts to automate the recognition of custom types.

What you get with geany: unintelligent autocomplete (it autocompletes words you used in the opened documents, so not "appwide" by default),
integrated compiler output, with a bit of work maybe inclusion of gdb-debugging functions (for debugging purposes I compile within maxIDE ... which looks ugly in GTK-themes).


If you don't like geany... just install wxMax(wxWidgets) and use wxScintilla (and the LexBasic.cxx of geany/your mods).
An simple editor with (geany like) autocomplete, code folding, easy compilation shortcuts/icons, output/errorlogs aka pipes,... is written in one day (already done it but library-updates make it not as easy to keep it runnable - and wxMax still has some mindbraking errors coming along).
