Let me preface this question by saying I use TextMate on Mac OSX for my text needs and I am in love with it. Anything comparable on the Linux platform? I'll mostly use it for coding python/ruby. Doing a google search yielded outdated answers. Edit: Since there has been some concern about the 'merit' of this question. I am about to ...
Is it possible to format certain text in a WinForm Label instead of breaking the text into multiple labels? Please disregard the HTML tags within the label's text; it's only used to get my point out.

Html Textarea elements only wrap when they reach a space or tab character. This is fine, until the user types a looooooooooooooooooooooong enough word. I'm looking for a way to strictly enforce line breaks (eg.: even if it results in "loooooooooooo \n ooooooooooong"). The best I've found is to add a zero-width unicode space after ever...
I noticed some posts here on string matching, which reminded me of an old problem I'd like to solve. Does anyone have a good Levenstein-like algorithm that is weighted toward Qwerty keyboards? I want to compare two strings, and and allow for typos. Levenstein is okay, but I'd prefer to also accept spelling errors based on the physical d...

Are there any free, third-party libraries for rendering arbitrarily scaled and rotated text in dot-NET applications? Although native GDI+ allows for text scaling and rotation, its methods for determining the rendered text's dimensions are not sufficiently precise and the differences in kerning as text is added to a rendered string make i...
I saw this same question for VIM and it has been something that I myself wanted to know how to do for Emacs. In ReSharper I use CTRL-D for this action. What is the least number of commands to perform this in Emacs? ...
GNU/Linux text console, X11 not involved, indeed not even installed. Keyboard is US layout, keymap US default. Kernel version 2.20.x or later. An application written in C is getting keyboard input in translation mode, i.e. XLATE or UNICODE. When a key is pressed, the application receives the corresponding keystring. As an example, you p...
In our application, we receive text files (.txt, .csv, etc.) from diverse sources. When reading, these files sometimes contain garbage, because the files where created in a different/unknown codepage. Is there a way to (automatically) detect the codepage of a text file? (I use .Net / C#). The detectEncodingFromByteOrderMarks, on the ...

How would one write a regular expression to use in python to split paragraphs? A paragraph is defined by 2 linebreaks (\n). But one can have any ammount of spaces/tabs together with the line breaks, and it still should be considered as a paragraph. I am using python so the solution can use python's regular expression syntax which is ex...

I do alot of systems programming where my apps have no chance of being used to communicate over the web or viewed through a browser. But, there has been some push by management to use XML. For example, if I want to keep a time log I could use a text file like this: command date time project in 2008/09/23 08:00:00 PROJ1 change 2008/09/...
