Which offline editor do you guys use? I use Notepad2. It has several redeeming features:
* color
* colored-error-alerts for missing brackets, parentheses and quotes
* ability to add vertical 'lines' to let you know when you are close to a particular margin
* line numbers!
* "Print" automatically appends the file name to the top of each page |

Generally I use kate locally due to it being essentially the default editor for KDevelop, which was my primary IDE for few years and it holds its own as a standalone editor as well. For quick edits in the shell I use pico/nano or vi. I'm -attempting- to actually gain some proficiency in vi (gvim on my desktop) for more complex editing and for having the same amount of power when editting remotely as I do when working on my local desktop. If nothing else it might add a little geek cred to get the "what? no vi or emacs? SACRILEGE!" crowd off my back. My primary requirements for an editor are:
* Syntax highlighting for a wide variety of programming and markup languages.
* Brace matching
* Code folding
* Automatic indenting
* Line numbering. I prefer having each line visually numbered, rather than simply reporting what line you're on in a status bar.
* Easy scripting (both internally and interfacing with external scripts) Of course, everything but the scripting is more for style and convenience concerns than actual functionality.  |

Echo Llyr there. I too have tried to learn Vi and Emacs for much the same reasons, but have never found the magic buttons myself. So with Nano I am stuck. On Mac I also use http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/">SubEthaEdit which is a graphical application. |

I use vim offline, myself.
I learn new commands for it all the time, even after several years. Before vim, I used joe. I guess joe is more emacs-like,
but it was lightweight and worked well. I also have a syntax file for LPC for vim, if anyone wants it. |

Crimson Editor 3.60
Why?
1. Freeware.
2. Syntax highlight for C++ (close enough to lpc for me) in colour.
also customizable.
3. Choice of file format- Dos, Unix, Mac.
4. Nice FTP options.
5. Increase/decrease indent on selected blocks.
6. Curser a bracket and partner bracket is underlined.
7. Column markers (I leave mine at 4 and 80) and auto indent.
8. Customizable hotkeys and macros.
9. Line numbering.
10. I've been using crimson for around 6 years, kinda used to it ;-)

I use Ultra Edit Studio for my editing. It seems to do fine with editing .o files as well |

WinVi for a lot, plain old notepad for most source file work. I dislike over active or cluttered editors most of the time. For example I have used a couple that insisted on highlighting any word that I typed in the following style: StarShip. I happen to love that format to make certain word just a little bit more important-looking. A.T (-) |

I would be interested in a vim sytnax file for lpc. Can you post a link or send it to farruinn at yahoo.com? Thanks!

I haven't used it much, but afaict, lpc.vim is a syntax file that
ships with vim by default. In a vim window, try this: :source $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/lpc.vim |

Another option is to just ':set filetype=lpc' while you have an LPC file open, and see if the highlighting changes.

It does appear that lpc.vim comes with vim, at least since version 6.3.
