68K Professional Text Editor

[Thorham]

What are the best text editors for Amiga 68K?

FrexxEd for AOS3 (and 2 I think). Very powerful because of it's script system. The only drawback is the crappy out of the box configuration (my current config is sooooooo much better). A great editor for people who want control over EVERYTHING, and who want to add functionality.

CygnusEd is very good, but rather basic.

GoldEd and CubicIde are only good if you can bare the editing model. I personally hate them with a passion.

Bottom line: CygnusEd is a quality car repair shop. FrexxEd is a car manufacturing plant.

Can anyone recommend me a code editor that works in full screen mode AND supports folding / unfolding) AND supports syntax hlighting/unhililithing?   Preferably with example screenshots?

FrexxEd.





Extremely powerful editor because of the script system (interpreted C). I use a highly customized setup (out of the box config sucks). Great editor for people who like to have control of everything. The syntax coloring isn't perfect, though, and it definitely requires an accelerator.

"I prefer a w;;l"
w;;l?=???

:confused:

what is the definitiion of "editing model"?

The way the editor behaves. There are editors like Notepad++ on the peecee. Many Amiga text editors behave in the same way (FrexxEd, CygnusEd, and a whole bunch more). Then there are the Emacs variants, and finally GoldEd which is just, I don't know, backwards.

Where do I get their software?

Have you tried the EAB file server?
