Is there a good K++ Kode editor for Klingon?

Ok, I know this is a strange question, but there is a "standard" (fan-wise at least) Unicode support for the Klingon alphabet, and since code can be written in Unicode with no problem, that means it is possible to write Kode with Klingon tokens( vars, function names, etc...). For the record I've written C++ in Japanese and it works, so ...

What Vim features are missing in Emacs with Viper and Vimpulse?

There are important features of Emacs which are missing in Vim, such as the comint mode, and there are no scripts/plugins which can replace them.

I work in a Unix environment with the typical Unix tools (emacs, vim, gvim, sunstudio, etc) My project has huge gross boilerplate comments on every method.

Is there an easy way to recreate the WinForms layout experience at runtime for user positioning of controls.

When laying out a WinForm in Visual Studio you get the ability to resize and align your controls very easily with drag handles and border alignment hints. I'd like to do the same with a runtime control to enable the user to position an image on a page. For example, if the user has a photo and they want to place it as a background on th...

Does anybody have a system that they use to maintain the same eclipse configuration between computers? How well does it work?

What is a decent Mono Editor?

I had been steering away from C# for a while, because it was "just a Windows thing", and it fell out of my current needs. However It's been gaining popularity and now with Mono catching up, it's becoming more attractive but I was wondering what IDE are people using to Code C#(with Mono) on *nix platforms. ...

Is there a decent JSON editor around?

I'm looking for a JSON editor that is able to do syntax checking and outline view. Browser-based editors are not an option as they are clumsy for editing lots of local files.

How can I benchmark editor productivity objectively?

I'm not sure if Vim makes me more productive compared to other editors/ide's like Eclipse for example.

EmacsW32: possible to use both "windows key" and "alt key" bindings together?

Problem: EmacsW32 is a version of Emacs that allows the user to make Emacs treat the "Windows" key as the "Meta" key (instead of treating the Alt key as the "Meta" key). Although this works as advertised, the question is what happens when you want to create an Emacs keybinding for the "Alt" key? Question: Is there a way in this case to ...
