The assembler provides me a two lists: a list of errors a list of warnings My editor should have the ability to inport the contents of a file and display it in a text-panel.

Background: JEdit (and some other text editors as well) support a feature called Multiple simultaneous text insertion points. (at least that's what I'm calling it here). To understand what this means, take a look at the link. Out of all the features in use in modern text editors, initial research seems to indicate that this is one fea...
2008 has passed and there are new free software or updates for text editors that can take the place of Ultraedit-32, which is arguably the killer app of commercial text editors. We all have searched for that perfect editor, tested them, compared them, and eventually stuck with the one we love the most. Ultraedit-32 features that are po...

As a long time VIM user, it pains me to have to use the Delphi IDE. At least with Visual Studio there's ViEmu which works well. So, do you have any advice for getting by in the Delphi IDE when you're so used to VI? Any settings that you'd recommend to make things a little more familiar? Any specific keyboard shortcuts that can save t...

Many editors will notice when a file changes out from under them. Are there any editor that will offer to let you do a three-way merge if you have unsaved edits on the file? The common scenario for this is I forget to save a file before I so an SVN update and when I switch back to my editor realize that I now have the choice of stomping...
I guess other editors are smart enough to turn that stuff off for pasting but when using vim in a terminal it can't distinguish between pasting and actual typing. What kinds of solutions or workarounds do you have for this? Added: there's also a setting that makes comments automatically continue on the next line. The indenting at leas...
What I'm trying to create is a text editor backed by an XML document. This document will get read into a domain model I then want to allow editing. Some of the traits I'm looking for are: Display only textual content and not require escapes to link text to domain model (want to avoid showing any kind of markup) Types of sections can ha...

The UltraEdit text editor includes a Perl and Unix compatible regex engine for searching. I want to be able to match a string line this: <branch id="attribute"> <leaf id="attribute"/> <leaf id="attribute"/> <leaf id="attribute"/> </branch> With something like this: /<branch id="attribute">.*</branch>/gis Does any one know of...
I know that often using a for loop to generate repetitive content is the better way than pasting something 20 times and changing each paste to the correct number by hand. But let's say for cases where content is hard-coded and I just want a list from 1-20. I would like a text editor with a "smart" paste command that takes any number i...
For a while now, I have been using UltraEdit on my Windows box. The ability to write scripts with a familiar language (JavaScript) has proved to be extremely useful. The only problem is that I cannot use it on my Linux box at work. Is there a comparable text editor that runs on Linux and has an integrated scripting engine? Not breaki...
I'm looking for a collaborative editor that doesn't suck :) And that at least supports Ruby syntax highlighting. Also, a developer and I will be using this to program, so Google Docs won't work.

Hi All, VS2008 automatically saves bookmarks and restores them when I reopen the document. How can I tell it to stop saving them.

I'm working on a project that include both Java (on the client side) and Perl (on the server side), and I would really like to use Eclipse to edit my Perl scripts instead of going to another editor. I've tried to use the EPIC plugin. However, I have no way of setting up a run environment for these scripts on my local machine, so the plug...
I am looking for a web based text editor that supports collaboration with 2 or more people. I am hoping to work on a fairly 'small' project with a couple other people from afar and would really like for us to be able to work on the same file at the same time and see the changes each other make in 'real time'. Language built on is not m...
I'd like to get my Textmate bundles to use the correct contexts based on what I'm editing. For example I use YUI a lot so I'd like the HTML bundle to use the YUI JS bundle instead of the standard JS one, etc. Can anyone suggest where and what I should be editing to make that happen. Bonus points for tips on bundle editing. ...
