Is there Apps Like Notepad2 in Linux ?

[shabri]

I am newbie in Linux, meet with Puppy 1.0.5 and love it.

I used notepad2 frequently in Windows.
It has some features below :
- Customizable syntax highlighting:
- HTML, XML, CSS, JavaScript, VBScript, ASP, PHP, CSS, Perl/CGI
- C/C++, C#, Java, VB, Pascal, Assembler, SQL, Python, NSIS
- INI, REG, INF, BAT, DIFF
- Drag & drop text editing inside and outside Notepad2
- Basic regular expression search and replace
- Useful word, line and block editing shortcuts
- Rectangular selection (Alt+Mouse)
- Brace matching, auto indent, long line marker, zoom functions
- Support for Unicode, UTF-8, Unix and Mac text files
- Open shell links
- Mostly adjustable

Is there editor has features like notepad2 in Linux ?
would anyone compiled it under Linux and upload the pup here ?
(written in C, the programmer gives the sourcecode , you can get it here

Beaver has a lot of that. One thing I noticed that notepad2 has is the rectangular selecting. That can be extrememly useful when working with tabular data in textfiles (or tilemaps like I do sometimes). Unfortunately, Beaver doesn't have that (to my knowledge, anyway). Barry's adding another text editor in 1.0.7, but I don't know if it has it either.

you're right, the ALT+RightClickMouse is very useful to select rectangular area. Sometimes I manipulate index.html which contains hundreds of downloadable file links like in puppy-unleashed dir in ibiblio.org,then export it to download-manager.

And the rare features in another text-editor , the capability to zoom text.
Hope Barry will port it to puppy in next release.


Thanks,

starts in 1 second in Wine, but you must disable the toolbar.
Maybe if you write the Author, he will fix the toolbar-problem.

You can get wine at http://grafpup.com (Packages).

nedit can select rectangular areas, too.
It is a great Linux-Editor, also has tabs, syntax-highlight and more.

Actually Barry mentioned that he will include Geany in puppy 1.0.7.

You should try it. I think it's a better replacement than nedit.

Geany matches each of the features you mentioned one by one.

Plus:
-Symbol display in sorce programs (e.g. it shows in a dropdown the functions in a shell script file)
- Ability to integrate with a compiler or compilers
- Replace tabs with spaces
- etc

you should check it.

Compiling it is a breze as all the libraries required are already in Puppy.

Here is the compiled version. Just extract it with the following command

Code: Select all

tar -xvzf geany-bin.tar.gz -C /root/my-applications/bin

It will be a pupget (comes up in 107 alpha but does not download)
- had no problem downloading and running your .gz using pupzip in Puppy Tardis (107)
