Programming / Re: Source Code Text Editor Suggestions
« on: May 30, 2023, 04:24:15 am »
FWIW, I use MED for programming. It's shareware; I have a registered copy, no idea if that's still possible to do nowadays. The website - http://www.utopia-planitia.de/indexus.html - still exists, although it doesn't seem to have been updated in many years.
It does have a few bugs/quirks but those are easy enough to live with once you get used to them. (Marking text occasionally goes glitchy, especially when the program's been running for a while; I've also seen the odd very rare crash, usually shortly after the aforementioned glitchiness starts happening, but neither of these things happen more than once in a blue moon.)
It's nicely customizable, and I have toolbar buttons set up to call GNU Make, IBM nmake32, and Watcom wmake, as needed. It has a dropdown list of functions and other definitions in the current source file (extensible using user-configurable syntax files) that makes navigating code very easy.
