Is there a way to get an "Undo within Selection" feature in Visual Studio? If not, are there any editors that have this functionality? It just seems exceptionally useful, removing the need to undo x many times, copy, redo x many times and paste. Instead one could just highlight the region of interest and undo in that location... ...
Really basic question I'm sure for the normal Mac user but; I'm a very recent Mac convert and I want to do a quick operation on a file. I would normally do this in windows by doing a search for ';' and replace with '\n' in my favourite editor(Editplus) but this doesn't seem to work on the two editors I have installed (Coda, Espresso) o...
The title says it all. I'm looking for a free text editor which has built-in SVN support for Windows, to avoid having to switch to Explorer to do Commits and such. Googling just produces the usual phony sites with lists of products that have nothing to really do with a free text editor supporting SVN. Any suggestions? ...
I've found Kate when I tried out SUSE; I've become 'addicted' to the built-in terminal feature that no other editor seems to have. The terminal can be automatically synchronized to the built-in file explorer, which I've found very useful. What other editor exists for environments other than KDE with support for a built-in terminal? Like...

Can anyone recommend a text editor which can support the Korean ks_c_5601-1987 character set? I usually use jEdit for this purpose but this particular character set is not supported in Java and hence jEdit also. ...
I'm trying to use the ICSharpCode.AvalonEdit.TextEditor control from the SharpDevelop 4.0 project in a WPF app that I'm building, but I can't seem to get it to work. I checked out a copy of the source code from svn://svnmirror.sharpdevelop.net/sharpdevelop/trunk/SharpDevelop/src/Libraries/AvalonEdit at revision 4304. Then, I built the p...
Almost every developer that uses a Mac practically worships TextMate. Why? What extraordinary features does it have that other text editors and IDEs don't? I did a quick search and the only really useful feature that I found that most other editors lack is the column selection option, but I wouldn't use a certain editor just for that. Wh...
Hi, I need to espose some code in my app to the end user so that they can make modifications. Is there a free text editor with intellisense support out there, which I can embed in my application. The code will be VB.NET ...
News wrote that Eclipse 3.5 finally supports column selection. Unfortunately I don't know HOW to enable it. I tried pressing the ALT-key like I am used to in Visual Studio and all other Microsoft products but that had no effect. How can I mark a vertical block in Eclipse? ...
Hi, I've integrated ICSharpCode.TextEditor into VB.NET and it run smoothly without error. But, I cannot find in properties window the property to enable or select the syntax highlighting features as well as intellisense. I don't have any experience with ICSTE, so please help me. Thanks you. ...
I am developing a site and i would like some simple markup. I would need to keep the users newlines (easy enough replace \n with or use pre), a way to allow links and perhaps bold. Would it be best to use a markup or to use RTF? i was thinking maybe i want special characters like :username: to create a link to a user or maybe :icon-use...
I've been using IDE's for various languages over the years (VS, IntelliJ, Eclipse, NetBeans, FlashDevelop, etc), and i've always found them slow and cluttered (yes i know windows can be hidden, rearranged and what not). Recently however i've learned and become somewhat proficient with VIM and have been using it for as many projects as po...
This isn't meant as a troll or flamebait or anything like that. I've been using Vim as my console-editor of choice for a couple months now (for editing configuration files while in my terminal), but I don't think I could stand it for my normal, every day work of writing web applications, which I do with a GUI text editor (which one isn'...
There seem to be a few camps when it comes to Emacs on OSX; Carbon versus Aqua Emacs. It seems the argument is that Aqua is a bit too far from standard Emacs and if you get too comfortable then you will have trouble using any other build of Emacs. As a developer who has been trying to get into Emacs for a few months now, I have been us...
I'm building a plugin in Eclipse 3.5 on Windows which is a text editor for a language that my group works with. I distributed it as a .jar and just had people place it in the dropins folder. The problem is it doesn't run on any of the Macs that my coworkers use, but it seems to work fine on PCs. When run on a Mac, the plugin is simply no...

Dear ladies and sirs. I often use notepad++ for editing of the csproj files. And I always need to go to the Language menu and select XML in order to get syntax highlighting. Is it possible to configure notepad++ to treat csproj files as XML automatically? Thanks. ...
I have installed jed and jed-extras on ubuntu. I would like to have a class-browser / outline mode. So I can see the structure of the code document currently edited and easily jump to a function or class in it. The question is: What are the steps to actually activate / use the outline mode? There is supposed to be one but I can't find ...

For the description of the event, I would like them to be able to do the following: Set bold text Set italic text Create a link Absolutely nothing else For example, if someone tries to paste "Nasty Hot Pink Text" from Word, I don't want that to work the...
