Sorry, Notepad. SciTE is The Best Text Editor of All Time!

[muhuwj201]

i like notepad a LOT more.

[DrunkenRobloxian]

Also, if you're programming in Java, I suggest you use Eclipse IDE.

[DrunkenRobloxian]

I think SciTE made notepad++.

[IbanezObsession]

Two words, Open Office.

[Kamek437]

Three words, Sublime Text 2.

[midarkmind]

How do you learn advanced techniques with SciTE? Is there any documentation that can teach you?

[midarkmind]

Thank you. I knew that Apple TextMate fanboy shit was all a big bucket of horse piss.

How do you turn on autocomplete? I've been trying to get it to turn on but I can't understand the faq

[themanyone]

@doorwindow7 It's probably missing the language definition file. I put a new link in the description to the ones I made.

[rapsod1911]

How to do stuff from this video on windows? Holding Ctrl while selecting don't turn text into column of text.

[themanyone]

@rapsod1911 You may have to get version 2.22 from the scintilla download page

[rapsod1911]

I like bluefish on linux because it have auto complete features for html.

[themanyone]

@ilikepez I think it is closely related to Notepad+ for windows. One of many that (re)use the Scintilla editing component.

[eighttone]

Nice demo! I use it all the time for a notepad replacement and I program perl in it, but I don't know half of the powerful features and capabilities that I should.

[thebestpioltever]

I use SciTe, its one of the best script editors ive used. If not the best.

[CrazyDancingBear]

For hard core programming why use a text editor anyway, that's what IDEs are for like Netbeans which supports almost every major language known to man and is immensely powerful.

[LenWhistler]

I'm presently using Gedit on Linux, but after this video I have download SciTE and will give it a try, it looks very interesting.

[iCutClass]

Its SciTe is short for Script Editor.

Yes, it can be used as a text editor, but essentially a script editor.

[CobaltHex]

notepad++ and visual studio editor :)

[FrozenIceCweam]

NP++ is based off of SCiTE.

[ankitpasi1]

ultraedit ftw on windows.

It's user friendly and as powerful as any other text editor aimed at power users.

[lbolla]

vim and emacs can easily do what you showed in your video.

[themanyone]

I like vim, but I have trouble sharing that sentiment.

[slaavx]

already using it, but thanks

[mikkokeinanen]

Thanks, seems like a very nice editor, I'll give it a go!

[themanyone]

Cool. Make sure to try out some of the user-supplied add-ons linked off of the page in the description. They really make it interesting.

[Pablos544]

Wow, that is a scarily powerful editor. What os were you running?

[themanyone]

That happens to be Linux, but SciTE is available for most other OS as well.

[Adriana25uk]

Thank you very much!!!

[themanyone]

That's what I'm here for.
