Scribes - TextMate-like Python editor for Ubuntu/Gnome

• Zak 19y ago
  What does this have to do with Ubuntu? As far as I can tell, this runs on anything that can run Python and Gnome.

    "... What does this have to do with Ubuntu ..." The demographic that might be looking for such an easy to use application will probably be using Ubuntu. Most of the other users will be using vi/vim, emacs (don't start it) on the command line on numerous different persuasions of *nix

  There was a post about editors a while ago, I'm surprised nobody mentioned Scribes. It still in beta IIRC, and has the odd bug tho.

  a) This has nothing to do with Ubuntu. b) I used to like Scribes very much, until I realized one thing: GEdit can do everything Scribes can do, plus much more. It's more mature, and more active. Also, its template system (which is Scribes' flagship feature) is more robust. Most people don't know how powerful GEdit really is. Take a look at http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins to get a feel for what GEdit can really do.

    You are right about GEdit's power. it is pretty amazing. Also, Scribes isn't only a Python-editor, unlike what the title suggests (maybe I'm reading it wrong).

      I'm frusterated with GEdit. No regex search and replace, tabbing requires ctl+t, ugg. And there's no block select mode. I really miss TextPad since switching to Linux. So far I like Kate the best, but it's dog slow to open. Someday I should bite the bullet and learn VIM I guess.

            Not a bad reference. http://www.truth.sk/vim/vimbook-OPL.pdf http://www.truth.sk/vim/vimbook-OPL.pdf The key to vim is to stay in editing mode.

    I installed Scribes some months ago and you are completely right. I keep using Gedit. My partner uses Geany, have you ever tried it?
  • omouse 19y ago
    But the Scribes site looks sexier than GEdit's. That's what programmers really care about!

  I'll wait until the e text editor comes out with a Linux version, thanks.

  M-x no-thanks

  I liked it better when editor wars only involved emacs and vi.
