text-editor

I am looking for a text editor that will be able to load a 4+ Gigabyte file into it. Textpad doesn't work. I own a copy of it and have been to its support site, it just doesn't do it. Maybe I need new hardware, but that's a different question. The editor needs to be free OR, if its going to cost me, then no more than $30. For Windows. VonC glogg could also be considered, for a different usage: Caveat (reported by Simon Tewsi in the comments , Feb. 2013) One caveat - has two search functions, Main Search and Quick Find . The lower one, which I assume is Quick Find , is at least an order of

A good while ago, I read an article by the creator of viemu , clearing up a lot of the misconceptions about vi, as well as explaining why it's a good idea (and why it's been very popular for the last 30 years+). The same guy also has a great set of graphical cheat sheets that teach the basics a few bits at a time. I'm convinced. I've been convinced for the past 2 years in fact. But I still really haven't gotten around to force myself to learn vi as my primary editor, the learning curve is just too high. When I get down to work, acceptable but immediate productivity (using my current editor)

A friend of mine wants to have an application where people can upload documents in Word (or text) format, and then allow people to make edits to those documents within a browser. Is there any mechanism that would support adding text "bubbles" for adding comments? Either floating, or off to the side. Being able to save back to Word format is a must too. Or at least, some format supported by Word, that would still be editable. Saving it as an image is not acceptable. I was thinking about opening the Word Document in an FCK Editor window, but FCK only seems to have "normal" inline text editing

I try to show popup dialog at text cursor position of an editor. How can I get text cursor position in pixels of the active editor (Point) and a show popup dialog at this point? I'm not exactly sure what do you mean under "show popup dialog at this point", but do something like this: IEditorPart editor = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().getActiveEditor(); if (editor instanceof ITextEditor) { ISelectionProvider selectionProvider = ((ITextEditor)editor).getSelectionProvider(); ISelection selection = selectionProvider.getSelection(); if (selection instanceof

I have hosted my Homepage over Amazon's S3 system. In order to change information on the page, currently, I have to change the file on my computer and upload the new version. However, I would like to directly change the file in the S3 bucket within a browser (to change it anywhere). Is there a cloud-based text editor that can use S3 as a "file system" and would allow me to change text files (e.g., html, css, js, etc.)? I would use S3 Sync from the awscli to download the files and edit them locally before syncing them back to their original location and updating the originals. Documentation on

I have been trying to get the line number and column number of the cursor position in a jface TextEditor. I tried the function getCursorPosition(). But on printing this it shows just a "?". Please note that I need the line number and column number within an editor and not with respect to the screen. I saw that there is a function JTextArea.getCaretPosition. But I dont know how to convert a text editor to JTextArea. Also, is it possible to read the word where the cursor is placed? Thanks From a TextEditor, you can get the document, document provider, and selection. That will give you access to

Part of my project is to write a text editor that is used for typing some rules, compiling my application and running it. Writing compiler was end and release beta version. In the final version we must add undo and redo to the text editor. I use a file and save it periodically for the text editor. How to design undo and redo to my text editor? What is changed in the structure of persistent of file? Jordão You can model your actions as commands , that you keep in two stacks. One for undo, another for redo. You can compose your commands to create more high-level commands, like when you want to

How can I configure a different background color for the active window in Emacs? Nicholas Riley If by "window" you mean Emacs' definition of windows, i.e., panes, not really. If by "window" you mean everyone else's conception of windows, which Emacs calls frames, then yes. Here's an example: (defadvice handle-switch-frame (around switch-frame-set-background) (set-background-color "white") ad-do-it (set-background-color "yellow")) (ad-activate 'handle-switch-frame) (defadvice delete-frame (after delete-frame-set-background) (set-background-color "yellow")) (ad-activate 'delete-frame) Try

So when I want to create a new file by using the :e command I don't want to specify the whole path, just the new filename. Can it be done? As already suggested, you can use autochdir, which will change to the directory of the file you opened, the other option is :cd mydirectory which will change the directory. This can be an absolute or relative path, so :cd .. will move up one level. Or you can use :cd %:h which will also change to the directory the current file is in, but without setting autochdir. :cd will change directory to your home directory (or on windows, print the current directory).
