Hi,
I have been recently forced to switch back to windows, and I am trying
to find a nice lightweight editor. Things like jedit, emacs, notepad++,
ultraedit, etc. bug me because of all the extras. I'm looking for a
non-modal one, so gvim isn't an option. If it's any help, some editors
that I love are gedit (default GNOME), kwrite (KDE), and Geany. Geany
is supposed to run on windows, but I'm encountering an annoying bug in
which geany is unable to switch directories (says an obviously existing
directory doesn't exist) when I use the built in shortcut for running a
perl script. I can't find any help because geany doesn't have a huge
fanbase. Hopefully someone can recommend something, because I've spent
hours trying out various editors I don't like. Perhaps KWrite or gedit
can be run on cygwin or something?
I use Textpad usually - a native Win32 app. I think you can use it
free with a nag, but I'm not sure. I wouldn't say it's the greatest,
but it seems ok and does syntax highlighting.
