- Code Editors:
- tsWebEditor from Tigris Software
- Traditionally my favorite code highlighter (not only because it’s free and open-source), does a superior job of highlighting the code, gives code hints, allows custom key definitions for your keyboard, and so much more! Lacks any spell-checking, or a good hex editor. Since it is no longer under development, it also doen not support HTML5.
- Komodo Edit from Active State
- Becoming my new favorite, it does an fairly impressive job at spell-checking,
and it supports HTML5;
but code highlighting is very “generic”, only highlighting “keywords” of a specific language, treating
native functions and user defined functions the same (and with PHP keywords
must be in all lowercase or all uppercase when most of my existing code uses
“
Class” and “Function” to represent global Classes and Functions, while it uses “function” to represent members of Classes and Functional-arguments that can be assigned to a variable or passed to a function; and even many “keywords” are forgotten!). One of its best features is it allows you to create “keybinding snippets” to insert predefined text with a keystroke. While tsWebEditor allows single-keystroke “keybindings” to single characters, Komodo allows multiple-keystroke “keybindings” to strings of characters; a significant improvement. Please see SoftMoon-WebWare’s Komodo Edit support page for Komodo support files to gain access to 339 extended Unicode characters directly with a keystroke, plus more…
