Ed,
Thanks for the update. As it happens, My personal I-need-this-in-an
editor list overlaps Robin's write a bit, so this post has re-ignited my
interest in Leo. I just went an poked at Leo's web site a bit, and did
not find the answer (quickly!) to these questions:
OS-X support?
- native-ish key bindings (for the biggies, anyway - cut, copy,
paste, etc.).
- Set up to run as a *.app -- drag and drop file son it, etc.
Language support: what kinds of text files are supported out of the box?
- C/ C++ ?
- LaTeX ?
- HTML/ XML ?
- CSV (or tab-delimited) ?
- plain old text, with spell checking and stuff like that.
Other questions:
Why so long with the interactive search -- that is THE FEATURE that I
NEED in an editor -- it is really remarkable how much more efficient it
is than having to decide how much a search term I need to type, and then
search for it!
Interesting about the wx front-end -- frankly, I don't think I care --
I'm a wx guy, but if I have a good editor, I can't really imagine I'd
need to be writing custom GUI code for it, so I don't really care what
toolkit it uses -- as long as it runs on all three platforms I need.
Python scripting I do want -- so I am looking for an editor scriptable
in Python
-Chris
