I was reading this thread wondering "why need another text editor".
Then I said "self, check this SciTE out befor you open mouth and say
something
dumb." Glad I did. I *like* SciTE!

You *may* be interested by a little program of mine, that I made to be 
able to view HTML sources from IE in SciTE... Because IE *always* use 
Notepad.
See ProgLauncher at 
http://jove.prohosting.com/~philho/softwares/PhiLhoSoft/freewares/index.ht
ml

Of course, SciTE is small enough and standalone to just replace Notepad, 
but I find this way cleaner.

I also added to SciTE a F12 shortcut to colorize HTML just to this 
purpose, because IE's View source remove file extension (ie. HomePage.html 
becomes HomePage[1]).

Last note: I made SciTE able to open any file with this simple registry 
file:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\edit]
@="Edit with &SciTE"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\edit\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Utilities\\SciTE\\SciTE.exe\" \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\print\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Utilities\\SciTE\\SciTE.exe\" /p \"%1\""

Of course, adjust the path to your copy of SciTE!

Good choice of editor...
I still plan to make a SDL lexer, and now I know how to make 
(almost) unlimited nesting of comments...

I did this with the TweakUI powertoy by Microsoft, I find this way
even cleaner as it's native to the system (more or less).

I have that in my version of SciTE... perhaps you submitted your
changes to the SciTE team?

I have that, too, though it required a restart after installation.

If only it supported auto-indenting and alt-dragging Codemax-style...

That explains part of the mystery... you're one of *them* :)

I guess this is specific to the WinXP TweakUI, mine (NT/9x) doesn't do 
this. Now, you can use TweakUI to set ProgLauncher as the default editor 
:-)

Yes, and as Neil Hodgson is a nice guy, he accepts most of my patches :-)

It has auto-indenting, but it is very primitive. This is hard to implement 
it right, at least in a generic (language independent) manner. Or perhaps 
we should add this to the lexers, as it has be done with the folding code.
That's why we added a simplistic but useful mode, where SciTE just copy 
the indentation of the previous line when hitting Enter.

What does Alt-drag? On Scintilla/SciTE, if you hold down the Alt key and 
drag the mouse over text, it makes a rectangular selection.
It has to be improved, eg. to allow replacing text in rect. sel. only, or 
to have a multi-line cursor. Both are not obvious with the current 
implementation of rectangular selections.

Yeah.. Auto indent is one of the things you have to turn on manually, 
then get the right combo of setting for it to work correctly. My 
suggestion is:

tabsize=2
indent.size=2
use.tabs=0
indent.automatic=1
tab.indents=1
backspace.unindents=1

Most of these can just be uncommented, but the use.tabs=0 is sort of 
critical, since it is imho a pain in the backside to load someone elses 
file, especially if you are just viewing it in something like winzip's 
internal viewer. And if you share scripts, etc. with others and they load 
them into notepad or the like... In any case this 'should' produce 
reasonably predictable behaviour, unlike the default which always dropped 
back to column 1 every time you got to a new line and needed to drop back 
by a single indent. :P

About the only thing that really bugs me about SciTE is the lack of any 
extra color settings. While rare, there may be cases where you have a 
client that employs say VBscript and has its own command set. Being able 
to color an 'extended' set of such commands without recompiling the whole 
bloody lexer is a major pain. Of course you can just add the needed 
commands to the main list in the properties file, but you can't color 
them correctly that way.

The same goes in my case for the need to have VBscript correctly display 
within XML. The telnet client I use employs a plugin system where 
aliases, triggers, etc. are coded into an XML file and the scripting code 
needed to use them in a script block. I don't really understand how 
lexers work well enough to compile a special one to fix these things (and 
would prefer not having to do so) and there is no other simple way to 
extend things. Having to switch back and forth between VBscript and XML 
display is just annoying, especially since it is the VBscript part of the 
plugin I edit the most often. ;)

All in all, pre-compiling the lexer is useful for speed, but for people 
like me that are either less than competent or plain lazy it is quite 
inconvenient. lol

Some lexers have provision for additional keyword styles, that's my 
preference, but some others, like the VB/VBScript one, just allow one set 
of keywords. This can probably be easily implemented, with enough 
motivation...

If you mean VBScript embedded in Web pages, it is harder, as the HTML 
lexer is already crowded with various styles...

Mixed language lexers are hard to do... And combinations are infinite, one 
application I saw put Lua code in XML sources... Same of ASP, etc.

For speed, but also for power. I doubt the Perl lexer, and perhaps the 
HTML lexer, can be done easily with a bunch of settings in a text file.
The good news, I am thinking about implementing such a "universal" lexer, 
and I had some new ideas on the subject.
The bad news: I have very little time to work on it :-)

I am not sure what for you are thanking me, even if it feels good :-)
Neil Hodgson is the person responsible for starting the project, and doing 
most of the work (and keeping consistency).
I started quite early in the project, I think the list is chronological, 
but there are numerous other contributors.

Thanks anyway.
