XNEdit – fast and classic X11 text editor
- netllama 1y agoMy preferred text editor going back to the IRIX days of nedit.
- mixmastamyk 1y agoYes, loved nedit around the turn of the century. At some point I moved to geany, later combined with micro.
- zzo38computer 1y agoIs the original version available without antialiased text and Unicode? Both are features I specifically do not want. (However, the X locale features are not made very well; they could have been done better (for example, it should not require the C library locale to match the X windows locale, but it does, which can cause some locales to not work, as well as other problems; there is also the bug in Xlib (and problems with the distribution) that requires it to be compiled differently for some locales than other locales).)
- trevithick 1y agoWhy do you not want those features? What is your use case?
- mixmastamyk 1y agoNedit is packaged in most distros.
- Paianni 1y agoThis is trying to fill the gap between console Unicode editors (e.g mined) and the 'full-fat' editors typically built around GTK or Qt. I'm not too keen they decided to mess around with the Motif File selection dialog to make it more 'Nautilus-like'.
- satiated_grue 1y agoI still use NEdit the same way I use notepad on Windows. Quick work on small ASCII-only files.
- RicoElectrico 1y agoOne thing NEdit has going for it is its speed when working with very large files on the order of a GB. Out of GUI editors it seemed to handle such files the best. Used it a lot as a chip designer at Synopsys, the large files in question being RCc extraction netlists. Granted it was kinda buggy, but most of us stuck with it.
