RE: Best free program text editor.
Thanks.
I use Codelite for C, C++, bash scripts, etc and it works great. I like how I can turn on it showing ALL the characters (spaces, tab, LF, CR, etc) so I can see what is REALLY there.
It will also show highlighting as you move over brackets, parenthesis, etc to show the matching one (you can even have it draw a vertical line between them).
For C, it will allow you to "fold" at the brackets to hide the lower level lines and see much more in the window.
and on and on...
Oh, today I did find a limitation: the line numbers shown on the left side wrapped around from 99999 to 00000 and started over (wasn't a source file but a text log file that was over 160000 lines long). It had me scratching my head a little bit as I was trying to match grep'd line numbers to the file.
Does any one plan on writing PPL programs over 99999 lines long? (if so, I'm worried)

On a clear disk, you can seek forever.
