Hi Something in between the IDE (eclipse, spe, idle, whatever) and the text editor (YaY vim!) that is very newbie friendly is gedit with an embedded terminal (which we use to teach) with ipython (or sage) in the embedded terminal. It is the standard gnome terminal, and needs gedit-plugins to be installed for the embedded terminal to be available.
It has ctl-tab, ctl-shift-tab for editor<->terminal focus, usual ctl-c, ctl-x, ctl-v keys for copy/cut/paste, syntax highlighting, search and replace, line numbers, bracket highlighting, etc. though no function completion or tab completion, but we have the ipython in the embedded terminal for that. regards, Jan -- .~. /V\ Jan Groenewald /( )\ www.aims.ac.za ^^-^^ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
