Nedit is the one editor I know of that has a macro system, and is my favorite editor in Linux for that and some other reasons (soft wrap (called continuous wrap), regular expression search and replace, some other things I don't recall right now). I'm trying to remember if I've actually recorded a macro -- I guess not, but here are some pages that might help (they are pretty rough -- the second reflects some things I did, the first is a copy of a post from the nedit mailing list): http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/NeditMacros http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/NeditRegularExpressions Like I said, nedit is my favorite editor on Linux, but it has its share of quirks. First of all, its appearance is based on lesstif | Motif, and it looks a little clunkier than I'd like. There is help, and more up to date help on the Nedit website, but, if you are a Windows refugee like me, you may find it (like a lot of Linux documentation) uses terminology and phrasing that doesn't immeditately make sense to you.

Ahh, that's what I forgot to mention -- there is syntax highlighting in color, so I presume there are ways of adjusting the colors. Some things have to be done by doing something with the "X resources" (IIRC) -- I've never tried this. Randy Kramer
