I've used Sublime Text, and it seems good, although I haven't used it enough toknow it well. Where I work, in particular, I've avoided Sublime Text becausemy understanding is it needs a licence to be purchased for commercial use. There are enough editors out there that I can just use a different editor. I've gotten to like Notepad++ recently.Nightfox--- Synchronet Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.com

Ihad it customized with some color schemes for various programming languages andhad some macros configured in it that I thought were handy (inserting Doxygencomments above function decalarations, removing extraneous whitespace in adocument, etc.). I got fairly used to vim, but I haven't used it a whole lotsince that job.Nightfox--- Synchronet Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.com

Now in conjunction with softwrap (-$ switch) you can use "set atblanks" in your nanorc. This will now save word boundaries when wrapping at the end of the line, and also keeping your 'paragraph' in tact, no matter what size your screen or window is.Older versions would wrap at the end of the line, no matter if you were in the middle of a word or not, and would crop up the word displaying it on both lines instead of wrapping the whole word.I never liked the -w switch, so I requested the softwrap feature above somewhere around v2.8.4. I tested some patches submitted with a few others, and it was included in v2.8.6 and above. Now I use it as my default editor for posting messages here even.Regards,Nick... "Не знаю.

That's what drove me away from using Sublime Text and just stick > with Visual Studio Code and Geany. Several years back, I was searching for a good editor for college. ForHTML/CSS/Javascript, we were using Notepad++ in the lab. I found it to be a bitugly for my taste, and the syntax highlighting seemed clunky (the previoussemester I got hooked on Visual Studio learning C#).I tested several free editors out, and I settled on Sublime Text. I loathe thenew "cloud" licensing model everybody's moving to. Maybe it's just because I'molder, but I like the old box store model. Pay for something and it's yours;you decide if you want to upgrade or stick with what works.Anyways, at the time I loved Sublime Text's license. I thought it was betterthan most of the other editors, and I liked the model. Pay once, useeverywhere. And, it could run off a flash drive. I was able to use the samesoftware in five different locations.Visual Studio Code had just been released at that time. I gave it some time to"mature". I believe Adobe had also started an open source editor about the sametime. I tried both, and then started using Code in place of Sublime. In theend, while Code seems a bit heavy, I thoroughly enjoy it, and I think it'shighlighting is even better than Sublime. I was able to snag an adjunct instructor position right out of college. Icreated a list of recommended editors for my students. Looking at the list, I'mcurrently recommending: VS Code, Brackets, Atom, Sublime Text. I put Sublime atthe bottom of the list due to the license, although I explain they can use itfor the course, and it's still recommended.--- Synchronet Southeast Texas BBS
