IMHO I'd want these features * Keyboard macros * Regular expression search and replace * Integration with version control * Infinite undo * Syntax colouring (not essential) * Bracket matching (useful but not essential) * Integration with compiler with error throwback (essential for C code work) * Automatic indenting (a great time saver) I know that emacs (my choice) and vim have all these features, don't know about Eclipse. In fact if I had to pick one feature that a programmer's editor must have it would be keyboard macros. -- Nick Craig-Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://www.craig-wood.com/nick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
