jEdit
jEdit is a mature
programmer's text editor. It has an easy to use interface that
resembles that of many other Windows and Mac text editors.
It uses the Swing toolkit for the GUI and can be configured as
a rather powerful IDE through the use of its plugin
architecture. Many of the jEdit's plugin applications, and a
few of the macros distributed with the program, target the Java
language or integrate tools used in Java development.
The application is highly customizable and can be extended
with macros written in BeanShell, Jython, JavaScript and some other
scripting languages.
Features include:
- Efficient keyboard shortcuts
- Unlimited undo/redo
- Copy and paste with an unlimited number of clipboards
(known as "registers")
- Register contents are saved across editing sessions
- "Kill ring" automatically remembers previously deleted text
- Rich set of keyboard commands for manipulating entire
words, lines and
paragraphs at a time
- "Markers" for remembering positions in files to return to
later
- Marker locations are saved across editing sessions
- Any number of editor windows may be open, each window may
be split into
several areas, each area can view a different file. Alternatively,
different
locations in one file can be viewed in more than one area
- Multiple open windows and split windows are remembered
between editing
sessions
- Rectangular selection
- Multiple selection (sometimes known as "discontinuous" or
"additive"
selection) for manipulating several chunks of text at once
- Word wrap

C, C++, C#, Erlang, Fortran, Java, Lisp, Perl,
PHP,
