I use CRiSP, this is a commercial tool and in use is very wide in its breadth of capability (far more than I am utilising day to day perl developing)
It supports projects, sub tag databases (very handy for jumping straight to that function hidden in a library somewhere else..), multiple language code syntax highlighting, regexps, macros, multiple monitor/code window (even have the same file open in two separate windows) and much much more besides. A trial is available for download at : http://www.crisp.demon.co.uk/ Would suggest downloading one of the 9.2 rather than 9.3 releases as I was told that you actually have to "apply" for an evaluation on 9.3 rather than getting a "free" 21 day do what you like pass on 9.2. I find that from a programming perspective it hits a reasonably happy medium between command line and GUI driven tools but I think that any tool like this is incredibly personal and requires a great deal of sticking at before it becomes truly useful (and non destructive - although a very good level of undo/redo is available, even supporting beyond save points without issue) Martin On Fri, 2007-09-14 at 16:32 +0100, Mark Rogers wrote: > OK, so now I'm starting to get into this whole > using-Linux-for-real-not-just-as-a-toy malarkey, I can see I'm going > to > need a bit of help.... > > First off, I regularly need to edit and manage files across a variety > of > SMB shares.
