What is your favorite editor?

I really like Textpad. I think a member by the name of Progressive recommended that one.

I also like Metapad. It is not as fancy as Textpad or Editplus but definitely more powerful than regular notepad.

For the last 10 minutes, I have been playing around with EditPlus. It can't compare files like Textpad. In textpad, once you save something, it disable the save icon to let you know that your file has already been saved.

Although it does not have a "block text" option, it can still block text by holding Alt and drag the mouse down. One feature I like about it is a built in browser.

I used to use Homesite. Hated!!! When you highlight and hit tab, instead of indenting inward, it deletes it.

When you point at the margin of a line, it does not highlight. You have to drag to highlight.

Codewright is another good product.

What editor do you like and what feature makes it so fabulous?

I use HomeSite and Notepad 98% of the time, and the other 2% I use EditPlus.

I use CuteHTML and an app i wrote named StilettoHTML. Both r0x :)

I use HTML-Kit it has a lot of greate features, including Tidy (the error checking and tiding thing) which shows you most of the errors in your code at a couple of clicks of a button.

I use HTML-kit too, great piece of software

I use Homesite 5, Interdev, Komodo, and Emacs - in roughly that order.

It frustrates me that Macromedia owns HomeSite now :rolleyes:

if I had a dollar for everytime this was asked. I would be a millionarie and wouldn't share it with any of you :)

context is my preferred, but have been playing with htmlkit. too bad it doesn't have color hightlighting for php....

If you ever become a millionare, you better hope you never have a daughter ;)

oh no family is different. besides I alredy have a daughter. but she is only 10 ;) , but I'm still not a millionarie

In VB, if you clicked on the margin, it highlights the entire line. If you press tab, it will indent a whole block of code inward.

Can HTML-Kit do that? When you highlight 100 lines of code and just press tab, everything gets indent inward. That is so much more convient than tabbing one a time.

Yeah you can do both in HTML-Kit :)

but if only it did "highlight" in php, it would be awesome.

Rick, are you sure? Is it like the way how VB does it? I downloaded HTML-Kit but can't seem to do that. When I highlight and hit tab, it just deletes everything.

Did you just highlight one line, or more than one?

Yeah he's right, I think you have to select more than one line. And as for the PHP thing, does it not have a plug-in or some sort of rules list for PHP?

I just found this: http://www.chamisplace.com/asp/hkp.asp?f=hkgeckopreview it's a gecko preview pane add in for HTML-Kit, but I can't download it :mad: I wan't it so bad! Can anyone else download it?

Yeah...I clicked where it said Download :confused:

You can get plug ins for a lot of languages in HTML-Kit.

It's working now :D I think maybe it was because I am using Opera and GetRight, I tried it in Mozilla and it's fine. And Hobo I did try clicking download, I'm not that stupid ;)

Hey, ya never know with some people. :)

I downloaded it but it doesn't seem to work. I have Mozilla 1 (the "final" version, not a beta), and I registered the DLLs but it still doesn't seem to work. Has anyone else gotten it to work?

other then notepad, you should try using dreamweaver 4 which has some great built in features, best html editor i know of.
