Notepad++ is a great utility if you're in Windows for the non-IDE coding experience... Do you think any of these text editing enhancements are related to the conscious experience of the the user where their intelligent actions are improved? That is verses a black and white, fixed font, ANSI environment: syntax coloring/highlighting code beautifiers themability syntax folding zooming/panning selectability truetype fonts emoticons/Unicode content-sensitive editing search highlighting structure reformatting/refactoring pretty printing And you can take it further where the 2D text editor is performing a dimensional transform from a 1D string for a consciousness enhancing experience. For that matter why even map bits to characters? And why map analog signals to bits? ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T7c7052974ce450f1-Me64440b178b9f0c4a740df9d Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
