New Text Editor

[vidarh]

I`m not trying to create a 39M text editor to sell. I want to create an open source text editor in which everyone can contribute in making it better. After some loose research, none of thebquoted text editors provide their source code.

If you want to contribute to an open source Amiga text-editor, take a look at FrexxEd. It's open source, and I'm working on various changes (AROS port works pretty well; various scripting updates; palette handling improvements etc.). It's fairly mature as-is, but there's plenty of room for improving it.

Take a look at https://github.com/vidarh/FrexxEd

I don't have enough time to work very quickly on it, so anyone who wants to join in and contribute are very much welcome... If you're interested, let me know and I'll outline some of the ideas I have

I also think there's some room for a nice, simple text editor which has some options like syntax highlighting, line numbers etc., maybe auto-indenting and a scripting interface to allow compilation from the menus

FrexxEd supports all of this, and I'm sure several other Amiga editors does too.
