Searching for a good programming text editor

Does there exist a text editor for Linux that has got these features?
-can open multiple documents
-can easily switch to any open document, e.g. by just clicking the document in a list or tree on the left (tabs alone won't do because there's not enough space to slow 20+ documents if there are only tabs)
-has a built in command prompt to type compile and debugging commands, which is by default in the folder where your documents are, if all documents are in the same folder at least, otherwise it doesn't really matter to me
-can save sessions, projects, ..., which basically is a way to quickly open your multiple documents belonging to a certain project
-has a super cool search function with options like "whole word" and "case sensitive" clearly visible in the search dialog, and remembering these settings for any open document you search in
-can easily search through all open documents (e.g. like visual studio can)
-has the type of text editing GUI where you can use the mouse to select text, use ctrl+a to select all, use ctrl+c/ctrl+v to copy paste, home/end to navigate the cursor to begin/end of line, F3 to search for next match, etc... (so no vi derivates I'm afraid)
-has modern interface, menus, file save/open dialogs, etc..., not something that appears to come from 1995 (so I think emacs is out of the question)
What I'm looking for is similar to Kate 3.5 or parts of MS Visual Studio. However Kate 4.1 isn't suitable anymore because they destroyed the search function of it. And preferably something that is independent of a desktop, because it's sad that Kate's features can get ruined by people who develop a desktop.
Does anyone have ideas if there exists such a program?

Look good, but ONE thing: I found that F8 "Output" opens a screen that has some properties of a linux terminal except some weird "Exit code:1" messages. However, if I press the "up" arrow, it doesn't scroll through the console history but instead moves a cursor up. I need it to work like a linux terminal with history because I don't want to retype long commands all the time. It also doesn't show the correct type and color of my user prompt. Is there any way to get a more conventional console in the Scite window somewhere?
Also, scite's interface also looks a bit 1995
EDIT: oh hmmm and it appears to not be able to open more than 10 files. That's too limited I'm afraid
Shame, it almost looked like what I needed.

Searching for: A proper programming editor

Good evening,
in search for a good editor for doing some basic programming I have come across multiple applications, but I have not yet found the perfect one for me. With VIM I liked the auto-identation and even more the great color schemes. Coding looked great when using it - and it even worked with CLI only, but I have never plunged deeper into its own universe. What I do not like about VIM is the uncommon way of controlling it. I am used to do it the fast way - saving with CTRL+S - which takes me quite some more time with VIM, but that's something I could overcome. I had some problems with the control- and editing mode of this program. The paradigma behind VIM seems to be fascinating, but it might not be perfect for me.
Next one was Kate. Nice-looking KDE app, extensible and with a lot of options. Auto-Identation as well, but I miss the color schemes. Code looks awful, awful predefined colorschemes. I do not really want to work with it.
Scite - nice for editing but I could never get myself to like it.
What would be great would be an application like TextMate for Mac OS X. It supports some kind of IntelliSense (I have no other word for it - Visual Studio coined it back then) and keywords to create predefined codeblocks (for instance: typing pydef and hitting the tab key will create a fully matured def-structure for Python with spaceholders for each element from which to which you can jump by pressing tab). Nice colorschemes would make programming a lot more pleasuring. Maybe it's simply too much I want it to have, but maybe there's an app which gives me all I want and need.
Thanks in advance and greeting

If ctrl-s for save is something you want, you can easily implement it in vim.
inoremap <C-s> <esc>:w<cr>a
nnoremap <C-s> :w<cr>
If you decide to stick with :w (or even if you don't), I can recommend the following map:
nnoremap ; :
vnoremap ; :
This allows you to enter extended mode by just hitting ; instead of :. It seems like just a small change, but it really makes a big difference, at least for me.

Make sure you have :set omnifunc=pythoncomplete#Complete, which it should be whenever you edit a python file, and use ctrl-x ctrl-o to complete. The completion isn't always perfect, but it works fairly well.

If a web editor does not give you power to do full text editing and claims to be WYSIWYG, don't believe it. Chances are, it uses assumed standards of specific browsers, which are not fully http://www.w3.org/ compliant.

Searching for a good file manager

I'm searching for a good file manager. Konqueror 3.5 is quite good, dolphin 4.1 and konqueror 4.1 are not. Since konqueror 3.5 is going to die due to lack of support in the future, I kind of need to find a new good file manager...
Do there exist file managers with the following features?
Many of these features are things I thought were quite logical to be in a file manager, but seem to be missing in most "modern" ones...
-independent of any desktop (gnome or KDE), just a standalone program
-preferably not being both a web browser and file manager in once, at least not in an annoying way. Konqueror 3.5 shows that being that combination is possible without being annoying.
-ability to have a tree view of the folders on one side and list view showing the files and subfolders of the folder currently selected in the tree on the other side
-detailed list view showing at least filename, type, date and size, and the ability to sort according to any of these properties
-a non-detailed view showing image contents would also be nice, to browse folders of photos or other images
-ability to open files in certain programs if you doubleclick the file, NOT open it by singleclicking, singleclicking may only select it
-ability to select multiple files by dragging box around files or using keys like "ctrl" and "shift"
-ability to do "open terminal here" or type terminal commands in the current open directory
-must have ability to drag files from one folder to another, from list view to tree view and vica versa, to move or copy them
-and must have ability to use "ctrl+c" and "ctrl+v" to copy files and foldes from here to there
-multiple tabs is a huge plus
-favorites (to local folder paths) is also a huge plus
-preview of files when hovering the mouse over them is nice
-must have ability to zip and unzip (or other compression formats) folders by just right clicking them and choosing a zip/unzip command there
-in addition to that, must also have ability to browse through a zip file as you would through a normal directory, and drag files from the insides of the zip file to the tree view to automatically unzip those files there, and of course "ctrl+c"/"ctrl+v" should also work to copy a file from the inside of the zip file, to some other folder on your disk
-no horizontal autoscrolling in the tree view, that is an invention straight from the abyss...

I know exactly how you feel about KDE 4 vs. 3 -- Konqueror was the best part of KDE for me (pretty much the only part I ever used, actually; my window manager is a slightly modified version of WMII and I generally loathe "desktop environments"). KDE 4 ruined it, completely and utterly.
I submitted about 20 different bug reports about Konqeuror 4, mostly features that they'd deleted or mangled; some of them are starting to be addressed now. I don't think they'll ever fix the speed issues though, because those are dependent on the underlying KDE 4 libraries as far as I can tell -- it's as if KDE 4 were purposely and deliberately designed to be slower than KDE 3. Even if they fix all of its deficiencies, that'll probably keep me from using it...
Right now there's KDEmod, which will hopefully maintain its KDE 3 branch for a while longer. It's starting to show some problems, though; I haven't been able to get kdemod konqueror 3 to work fully out of the box (the settings pages are all blank). On my main machine, I somehow managed to hack together some of the KDEmod3 packages so that I have a functional konqueror 3 running alongside the Arch repository's version of KDE4. I'm afraid to pacman -Syu now, though, because it will probably break horribly :P
I don't remember exactly how I got konqueror 3 going like that, as I did it in my initial fit of rage after I did the pacman -Syu that got me KDE4 (a decision I have regretted ever since), but it was something like this:
1. move /opt to /opt.kde4
2. make a new /opt
3. download several KDE 3 packages from the KDEmod3 repositories manually
4. extract those packages into the new /opt with tar -xzf (NOT pacman!)
5. try /opt/kde/bin/konqueror
6. read reams of error messages about missing libraries, segfaults, etc.
7. try to supply the missing libraries by downloading other kdemod3 packages and manually extracting them
8. goto 5
Then, when everything worked (sort of), I renamed some stuff so that 'konqueror' is konqueror 4 (I think having it konqueror 3 broke something else, but I don't remember what), and konqueror 3 is called 'k3nqueror'.
If KDEmod3 ever goes away and there's no other good replacement file manager by then, I'll probably take the source code of KDE3 and try to make a standalone version of konqueror out of it. (Which will probably be quite a project because of how interdependent all the KDE components are.)
Some features I "need" in a file manager, besides the ones you mentioned:
- Konqueror's tree view (where you can expand folder branches in the file list)
- Infinite view splitting -- I frequently have my konqueror windows split into 4, sometimes as many as 6 or 7 view panes. Very useful for sorting out files.
- Selection rectangles are sensitive only over files -- I find full-row-select really annoying, because there are no guaranteed "blank" areas that you can click on to clear a selection. I also use this behaviour to grab long-named files that are interspersed with short ones, because they hilight first when the rectangle touches them (you wouldn't think this very useful, but surprisingly often you do want to do something to all the long-named files...)
- Right-clicking on a folder and clicking "Paste" pastes into that folder, not the current one -- you'd be amazed at how many file managers get this wrong. I shouldn't have to cd into a folder just to paste some files there.

Basics for a Java based text editor.

I want to try and write a simple java text editor I can upgrade as I learn more about java. Can anyone point me in the right direction or tell me the basic layout of a text editor?

I want to try and write a simple java text editor I
can upgrade as I learn more about java. Can anyone
point me in the right direction or tell me the basic
layout of a text editor?A text editor consists of three parts. User command interaction, text screen presentation and text data handling. Start with a small Java application with a GUI and check out the different Swing components and how they work. Internally the text can be held in a double-linked list where each blocks have space for 1000 characters or so. You'll also need some file handling to store the text externally.

Need help searching for a good IDE...

I've been looking for a good Java IDE that is somewhat comparable to Visual Studio 2003 regarding parameter info helpers and syntax highlighting, with an thought of visual design too. Does Sun have an IDE similar to VS? Seems like I came across one of their products a few weeks ago. If not, do you know any free IDEs that have these features?

I think NetBeans (see www.netbeans.org) is thebest:
- code completion
- sintax highlighting
But not spell checking. If you refer to Java spell checking, or typos, it does. If you refer to a language like Italian, English... it doesn't.

Search for Segment Inside B2B Document Editor

Hi B2B Gurus,
I have a hard time to find "CON" ( Consent segment) defination inside HL7 2.5 version standard messages. How do I search for a particular segment in a specified version messages?
Thanks,

Hello Datla,
When I open ecs file then the segments are showing only for that message type but I want to get all segments from all message types.I think it is not possible. You can use "Standards Reference" for below standards only:
1. EDIFACT
2. UCS
3. X12
4. WINS

Searching for a good book about [Arch Linux]

Hello friends,
I'm here stuck with Windows 8, making a couple of tests about installing Arch Linux in VMware Workstation, if it succeeds, I'll move to Arch completely. My question is: Is there a good book about Arch (installation, maintenance, best practices, security, and so on)? I tried "Arch Linux Environment set-up How-To", but unfortunately, it wasn't what I expected.
I'm a little confused about UEFI + GRUB2 + GPT/MBR but I think I'll dominate it soon...
My system:
[PROCESSOR] >> Intel® Core™ i7-3840QM (8M Cache, up to 3.80 GHz)
[GRAPHICS] >> Dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 680M GPU With 4GB GDDR5 Video Memory (SLi)
[RAM] >> 16GB DDR3 SDRAM 1600MHz
[SSD] >> OCZ Vertex 4 (256GB)
[HDD] >> Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid (750GB)
I wonder in how many seconds the system will boot up...

@op As others have mentioned, do not seek out knowledge from a book. There has been quite a few shifts in Archlinux, specifically to uefi and systemd. There are a few starters for your concern.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … _Interface
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UEFI_Bootloaders
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide/Installation
Other then that, there is the forums and a quick search will land you on a goldmine of knowledge. Great idea to start it up in a vmware, although it will not require the uefi boot, but it will still get you a bit more familiar with the install process and iron out some basic questions. Good luck!

Searching for a good java debugger

Hi all,
I am a new java developer, i was used to work with c++ builder. I am developing java projects without ide help (plain text, actually with JCreator) . I want to find a good ide debugger (like c++ builder's debugger). I tried to use JBuilder but i can not import my existing project to the JBuilder debugger. Do you know any ide debugger that i can import my project? What about Forte? I have not used it yet. May be tips about importing my .java files in the JBuilder debugger.
Thank you for advance, Kostas.

Careful, I might put you on the list too! -:) No just
kidding but blown up wannabe Java experts like
LadyFoxy and Sscotties should be very careful.
Eventually they'll meet the Nightmare Bwitch, and then
it's over!me! me!
do me next :)
to OP, a debugger you ask for? well not exactly the thingie you're looking for, but in some cases quite useful debugger is a omniscient debugger:
http://www.lambdacs.com/debugger/debugger.html
... but its still experimental or something, so it might not yet be fine tuned for every task, it's the idea that counts...

ICloud deleted my contacts but i can still see them when i search for them when im texting... how do i get my contacts back?

I tried out iCloud today and it took away all my contacts...and no i did not set up time machine
when i searched online to see what the problem was all i got was "back up the device" or "turn the contact button off and on in iCloud and then hit merge"
I did all of that but my Wi-Fi at my college ***** whale so i cant "merge" my contacts even though im pretty sure backed it up already 2 times with the contacts switch in the on position meaning that my contacts must be gone...
but theres hope when i was texting i searched a name in the "contact search bar" and all my contacts are still there!
soo someone please help me get to the next step for getting them back before i go insane! thanks!

this just rearanges the icons in the same order but with the screen still set up with only 16 icons an the bottom 4 (muisc mail...) missing are there any other ways i can get them back?

Searching for a good relational database design tool

Hi!
I am designing an oracle database for our plant, and I want to use a entity-relationship diagram tool to create it.
I want to design the data diagram with it, and generate creation code and run it to create the DB on our oracle server.
I would appreciate that someone suggest good quality tools that can be used to do entity-relationship diagrams and implement the db not only on oracle, but to SQL server as well, as future designs for other projects may be implemented in SQL server.
A small list of quality tools with their noteworthy features would be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes to all!

For Oracle database, Oracle Designer is the best.
If you want to be able to use it for various databases you might think of:
- ERwin
- Embarcadero ER Studio
- Sybase power designer

I want to search for two strings of text throughout numerous cells

I can get a formula to search an individual cell using this:
=IFERROR((IF((SEARCH(String1,SearchString,1)+SEARCH("String2",SearchString,1))>0 ,"Yes","No")),"No")
How can I search a bunch of cells at the same time?
Thanks.

What do you want to do? The solution depends on how you want to use the results that you find. You can also use the fund feature of the Number (<command> + "f") or the menu item "Edit > Find > Show Find"
or you can use the filter feature of the reorganize panel:
Not filtering:
Filtering
to open the reorganize panel... click the button in the tool bar OR
select the menu item "Table > Show Reorganize Panel"

Searching for a good precompiler
