SciTE 2.0.1 - advanced text editor
SciTE 2.0.1 - advanced text editor
In my quest for a lisp friendly text editor I came across this one. It supports a wide variety of languages (including lisp) and has lots of features. However, it runs a tad slow on my 550MHz AMD-K6-2+ . I posted the package incase someone with a faster machine wants to try it out. The text editor pet, it's three dependency pets, and a readme are in the tar file.
I've used SciTE forever and only have two gripes about -that very, very long lines are hard to scroll over and see then end.
And that it suffers a fairly common glitch with syntax highlighting -apparently geany suffers the same problem as I have seen something like 'Damn Geany GRRRR' in Barry'S scripts where he'S done the same thing I (ocassionally) have and insert an extra # or ' to not mess up the highlighting.
I use a much older version(1.60), though, which uses GTK-1.2 libs, so it is plenty fast.

http://www.scintilla.org/SciTEFAQ.html#SpeedUpGTKHow do I make SciTE run faster on GTK+?
The default settings for SciTE were changed in version 1.63 to use the Pango font system and antialiased fonts. You can return to using X core fonts which are faster with these settings:
font.base=font:lucidatypewriter,size:12
font.small=font:lucidatypewriter,size:10
font.comment=font:new century schoolbook,size:12
font.code.comment.box=$(font.comment)
font.code.comment.line=$(font.comment)
font.code.comment.doc=$(font.comment)
font.text=font:times,size:14
font.text.comment=font:lucidatypewriter,size:10
font.embedded.base=font:lucidatypewriter,size:12
font.embedded.comment=font:lucidatypewriter,size:12
font.monospace=font:courier,size:12
font.vbs=font:new century schoolbook,size:12
Line wrapping also slows SciTE down and this can be turned off with wrap=0.
Except when I do that it doesn't run any faster, just makes the fonts more readable. I'll keep working on it...
Bonjour,
j'ai testé sous Puppy Linux 4.31 et ça fonctionne parfaitement bien !
Merci !

Problems after SciTE installation
I just installed SciTE and have discovered that DropBox no longer works. I presume it's because of one of the libraries conflicted with some other library.
How do i diagnose this problem?
thanks

SciTE and Geany are both built using Neil Hodgson's "Scintilla" text editor control, which provides the code folding and syntax highlighting features.amigo wrote:I've used SciTE forever and only have two gripes about -that very, very long lines are hard to scroll over and see then end.

See http://www.scintilla.org/ for information about Scintilla, and http://texteditors.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl? ... itorFamily for some other editors that also use it.
