The Esstu Pack
Index
Programmer's Editor
A simple MLE-based editor with a few features designed for programmers. (Some may be useful to other people, too, but I designed this for programmers.) I wrote most of the programs in The Esstu Pack using it.
Special features, over and above normal text editors:
- Tab/Shift-Tab indents/unindents a block of text (highlight several lines and hit Tab to insert a tab in front of each line)
- Enter auto-indents
- Ctrl-Up/Down = scroll without moving the cursor *** Not working perfectly
- View | Status shows current cursor row/column
- Ctrl-DoubleClick to view documentation on a word (configurable help bookshelf)
- Run menu (configurable; can be used as compile/run if desired)
Known problems:
- The search and replace dialog is crummy. Terribly sorry. I don't know what it should be doing, so I can't do it.
- Block indenting/unindenting sometimes highlights some extra characters at the end of the selection. This bug is uncommon, and I'd like feedback if anyone finds it.
- The source is a mess!
- Various nuisances caused by the use of the Multi-Line EntryField object. These are unavoidable.
