Ask HN: Graphical OSS code editor for Linux?
I have tried to find a good general purpose open-source code editor for Linux, but am having difficulties finding one. Vim and Emacs are out. What graphical editors are there that you would give your vote for?
Features that I seek are:
* Syntax highlighting, Auto-indent, In-/deindent with tab, Tabs to spaces
* Code block visualization (and folding), Variable highlighting
* Changing of eol(crlf/lf/..) and encoding
* (Column mode editing), (Multiple views)
* Font selection
- bgar 13y agoCould you tell us the reason you're not considering neither Vim nor Emacs? Genuinely curious.
- olgeni 13y agoSome random ideas: http://kate-editor.org/ http://www.jedit.org/ https://projects.gnome.org/gedit/ http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html http://www.kdevelop.org/ Also eclipse and netbeans if you add some plugins?

- memracom 13y agoVim does all of these. And it comes with a GUI, gvim, although the job of a text editor is so non-GUI that it seems ridiculous to describe a text editor for source code as a "graphical editor". Before you dismiss Vim, have a look at Cream http://cream.sourceforge.net/ http://cream.sourceforge.net/ which is just Vim with a better default config. Also look at Vim as Your IDE http://haridas.in/vim-as-your-ide.html http://haridas.in/vim-as-your-ide.html Most people who want a GUI end up with Eclipse or IntelliJ or Netbeans
- bnejad 13y agoHe specifically says no Vim or Emacs. So what was the point of your post?
