Hi ,

        Can any body suggest the editor for linux, which is similar to Editor for windows..(www.gensoft.com).
Because through the code reading ( means searching through several files at a time and other things are very easy..)

thanks in advance,
srinivas.

Hi,

        Please don't post attachments or HTML.  Thanks  :)

To answer your question - there are somewhat windows-ish editors
available, although I can't name them offhand; you might do a search
on freshmeat.net.

But I very strongly urge you to learn a standard text editor such as
vi or emacs (the latter being my preference); yes, they do come with a
learning-curve (just like Linux itself), but they are also infinitely
more powerful and flexible (just like Linux itself ;).  They support
such things as viewing multiple files, automatic indentation and
colorization when viewing/editing code, very powerful regular
expressions-based search-and-replace (much, /much/ better than
standard search-and-replace), and a score of other very useful
features.

HAND,
Micah

Last time I opened VI - I couldnt close it - and f*'d up my file .... I'm a
*sorry* programmer who migrated from windows - used to a GUI IDE ... spoiled
to the bone - with hopes and ambitions of writing top quality xWindows apps
that keep me outta the console......

QT2.3.0 doesnt seem to have an IDE - other than qtdesigner (for forms dev)
... I'm looking for an IDE that I can write my apps in x, test run them -
debug them, and package them .... all from x .... Borland's Kylix is out in
pascal with a thousand dollar price tag - the C++ version is in the works -
but who can afford that? ....

Yeah - I'm still looking too.

Did that the first couple times I opened vi as well.

Well, it doesn't qualify as an IDE per se, but emacs lets you do all
those things from within it.  I sure don't miss not having an IDE with
emacs, to tell the truth.  But there are those who do (I think they
just haven't learned emacs, tho').

I've yet to see a Windows editor with the power and flexibility
of emacs. Or xemacs. Or nedit. Or jed. or gvim. I would
recommend learning about ctags though...

For future reference,

will quit vi without saving.

Try nedit.  All of the Windows users whom I have set up with
nedit seem quite happy with it.

1) Please don't post in HTML.

2) Look at Nedit (www.nedit.org) which comes as an optional extra
   in many distros.

Try KDevelop.  You can create KDE/Qt and Qt-only apps with it.:

I can suggest several news readers that will post without all this *in
there.  Perhaps yours has a setting.  I would suggest looking for it.  It
will say something about posting in plain text...

This can be done quite easily through gvim and emacs.  To navigate through
the code, read up on using ctags.  Also, read your editor of choices
documentation to find out how to execute shell commands from within the
editor.  Linux has a rich set of commands available, you just need to
learn how to use them...

And please, please, please post without all the HTML crap... :)

nedit's pretty good.  Also look into moleskine.
