Which text editor?

Not wanting to start a flame war here, but does anyone have a recommendation for a text editor similar to TextMate on OS X? I'll be doing primarily Ruby on Rails programming..

Ok, multiple file suport in vim was it?
:split <filename>
:vsplit <filename>
:tabnew <filename>
ctrl+w+direction(hjkl) to switch betwen splited windows(in "normal" mode)
:tabn and :tabp to switch betwen tabs
you can also add this to your .vimrc file to map tabn and tabp to ctrl+n and ctrl+p:
nnoremap <silent> <C-n> :tabnext<CR>
nnoremap <silent> <C-p> :tabprevious<CR>
edit: Phraktures sugestion on using g-t and g-T for next/previos tab is better than
the solution I gave (since it dosen't nead fiddling in the conf file and is more convinient
in placement...

Which text editor can use User Defined Languages?

On Windows, Notepad++ is able to use User Defined Languages. On a mac, I know of no text editors that can use them. Not only that, my mac stubbornly refuses to acknoledge the existence of .ecl, .dnh, and other scripting languages. I bundled Notepad++ and used AppleScript to make an executable, but it is not funny when you have to manually open Notepad++, then search for your file, then open it, then do things with it rather then clicking the file for it to open.
I would like to know if there are ANY text editors that can run User Defined Languages on a mac. Please do not tell me to use Winebottler to package Notepad; I already have Notepad++

Or, put your text file on DropBox, using the iPad app and email a link to others, or put it on MobileMe (iDisk app) or sharevvia iWork (online sharing for Pages documents).
Besides the word processing apps like Pages, there are a ton of notes and notebook apps which have various file sharing capabilities. Plain Text is a free plain text editor which links to a DropBox folder, e.g. And the Elements app will sync to DropBox and also let you email. There are many others.
The trick is figuring out what you need--how much formatting, e.g.--and what type of access by your PC is most convenient. I use apps that sync to DropBox or MobileMe, so that those files are always accessible. Much as I love MobileMe for syncing my calendars, contacts and to do lists, I prefer DropBox for document access and I've found iWork unreliable.

Which text editor can I use and how do I share it?

Hi,
I have an iPad and I wanted to know if I can download an app or something to use as a text editor like Word and if I can share it, put the file in a flashdrive and use it in another PC,
Thank you

Hello friends , I have started with writing c code on mac using xcode .....but one of my friend told me to use gcc for coding. He started with terminal And used a text editor to compil the c program on his mac.. So please tell me how to do the same

Hello friends , I have started with writing c code on mac using xcode .....but one of my friend told me to use gcc for coding. He started with terminal And used a text editor to compil the c program on his mac.. So please tell me how to do the same and is there any pre stalled text editor on mac if yes then where and if no then which text editor to install and how to install gcc...please help me out thanks in advance !!!

I have started with writing c code on mac using xcode .....but one of my friend told me to use gcc for coding.
Why? If you are developing and writing code on a Mac why would you not use the tools Apple has given you? And Xcode, once you get use to it, is a very nice development environment that will make you life a whole lot easier.
If you insist on using an editor and the terminal I would recommend Emacs but it has a long learning curve so something like TextWrangler will work too.
As for the compiler if you have Xcode installed install the command line tools and you will be able to compile from the terminal.
good luck

Rich text editor (apex 4.0)

using blue gray theme and a page with a rich text editor. Expanding the rich text options displays the text body p below the text area that persists even if you close the rich text options. Anybody know how to get rid of that behavior?

I think your mixing 2 technologies.
At 1 side you have xml in combination with xsl (style sheets used in BI Publisher and FOP) to generate your pdf. And at the other side you have HTML...
XML and HTML are 2 entirely different technologies which you can not mix this simple. I investigated the same problem as you had, and in the end I ended up using jasperreports instead of FOP.
Maybe BI Publisher has some html regions which you could insert into your word document but I doubt it cause more people have asked the same question on this board...
So my advice: use jasperreports (also it is free for commercial usage)
Success

Rich Text Editor Options

I am working on a project that needs a Rich-Text Editor with
ability to insert tables, images, and more complex editing features
such as what FCKEditor provides but ideally that was built with
Flex in mind. Is there such an editor available? I have seen a few
options but nothing that really matched the functionality of
FCKEditor for example.
Thanks

Hello,
I was looking for flex version of the FCK Editor,
unfortantly, I could not find a fully complete solution, but I
found the following which might help you:

How to call text editors in smart forms?

In my module pool program,I included text editors for three fields.I want that fields in smart forms too.I need to know how these text editors are called in smart forms?

Hi achu,
Any text that gets saved has a corresponding entry in table STXH table. It usually has the following parameters : TDOBJECT,TDNAME,TDID and TDSPRAS.
What you have to do is create a new text element and under general attributes ---> Type - give Include Text.
And in the include text you give the above four parameters which correspond to the text you want to display.
P.S. Do not forget to check the 'No error if no text exists' checkbox.
Hope this helps.

Arun

How to call a text editor from a module pool program

Hi All,
I want to call the text editor from my modulepool program. Enter my text in it and save it.This text needs to be saved in a Z-program with 2 fields as primary keys. The next time while I call this same record from this z table, I need to fetch the existing text and display it.
The user now can put in additional text and can again save it. This process thus goes on..
If anyone has worked in this type of scenario, then please help me in doing this.
Useful answers will surely be rewarded.
Thanks,
Susanth.

Hi Sushanth,
We save the text not as fields in a ztable directly but as a text.Please check the format below since it is based on a working code....
first you need to create a text in s010 transaction...
there should be some key based on which you plan to save the text..imagine it is Purchase order then..PO+item numner is always unique.eg:0090010(900PO/item10).so in the code you can append these two and they will be unique..so you can always retrieve them,overwrite,save them anytime you need
**************data declarations
TYPES: BEGIN OF TY_EDITOR,
EDIT(254) TYPE C,
END OF TY_EDITOR.
data: int_line type table of tline with header line.
data: gw_thead like thead.
data: int_table type standard table of ty_editor.
****************fill header..from SO10 t-code..when you save you need the unique key..youfill it here and pass it in save_text function module
GW_THEAD-TDNAME = loc_nam. " unique key for the text -> our unique key to identify the text
GW_THEAD-TDID = 'ST'. " Text ID from SO10
GW_THEAD-TDSPRAS = SY-LANGU. "current language
GW_THEAD-TDOBJECT = 'ZXXX'. "name of the text object created in SO10
*To Read from Container and get data to int_table
CALL METHOD EDITOR ->GET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE
IMPORTING
TABLE = int_table
EXCEPTIONS
ERROR_DP = 1
ERROR_CNTL_CALL_METHOD = 2
ERROR_DP_CREATE = 3
POTENTIAL_DATA_LOSS = 4
others = 5.
IF SY-SUBRC 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
loop data from int_table and save to int_line-tdline appending it.
*save the text
CALL FUNCTION 'SAVE_TEXT'
EXPORTING
HEADER = GW_THEAD
TABLES
LINES = InT_LINE
EXCEPTIONS
ID = 1
LANGUAGE = 2
NAME = 3
OBJECT = 4
OTHERS = 5.
IF SY-SUBRC 0.
ENDIF.
*To pass to Container
CALL METHOD EDITOR ->SET_TEXT
hope that the above sample with helps you solve the problem
Please check and revert,

How to get information from a text editor in the SAP standard transactions

Hi SAP gurus I have a requirement in which it is required to gte the information from a text editor(which is not a field) in mm02 (click on) goto Purchase Order Text in this view there is a text editor there is some text in te the text editor i have to get that information in a table can it be done if so please give example and steps
Points will be given to useful information

Ah yes, excellent question, and not really a clear cut answer. In my experience, the easiest way to find this information is to simply create the text using the standard transaction, in this case MM02. Then go to transaction SE16, using table STXH, do a query on this table, entering your user name, and today's date as the creation date. The results should show the text that you just created, now you can see the object, id, and the way the name is being used here.
I also understand that in some cases, there is a button next to the editor in the screen which gives you some idea of these values, but this is not implemented everywhere, and I believe that I've only seen this in one place, can't remember where, but the first solution above will always work for you.

Newbie help with sample Studio app. "Plain Text Editor"

I'm trying to make the jump from AppleScript to AppleScript Studio, and because I want to eventually write a document producing application I thought I'd start with the textbook example "Plain Text Editor" included with Xcode. I think I see how menu items are connected to "Target/Actions," and I was able to build and run it without difficulty. It's remarkable how little AppleScript had to be written to produce a rudamentary text editor. But in playing with the built application, I noticed that the Revert menu item does not work exactly as expected.
If you create a text document, and then make some change to it, and then click the Revert menu item, you get the expected little dialog asking if you want to revert to the most recently saved version, but if you then click the Revert button, the text displayed in the text view object does not revert to the original. However, something is happening, because whatever code is behind the Save, Close, and Quit menu items does seem to be "aware" that the Revert item has been invoked: because if you click one of these after Revert, the "do you want to save changes?" warning doesn't appear, just as one might expect.
The Revert menu item seems to be connected to a "Target/Action" called "revertDocumentToSaved:" which sounds perfectly reasonable. But does the fact that Revert doesn't cause the displayed editing text to revert mean that (a) there is a bug in the code behind this Target/Action, or (b) that the writer of this textbook example just didn't bother to do everything needed for the Revert item to work in an intuitive manner?
Whichever the answer, what would I do to make it work properely?
It seems like there must be some sort of connection between the text view object in the editing window, and the Close, Save, Quit suite of menu items, because the behavior of these is dependant on whether or not there are unsaved changes in the text view object. But looking through the Inspector for this object, I don't see any, neither AppleScripts, nor Outlets, nor Target/Actions. Where and for what should I be looking?
Dual 1.2 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Dual 1.2 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I think -- and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong -- that this is a place where AppleScript Studio's implementation just isn't done right. Either they intended to add a "revert" handler somewhere and forgot, or else they meant to have it send an existing message and didn't.
I haven't done any document-based applications -- heck, I've only dabbled slightly in AppleScript Studio -- so there may be a "deeper" answer to this, but you might consider just hooking the menu item up to send its "choose menu item" handler to your document script, and have it react accordingly.

Why can't I cut or paste in my wiki rich text editor

the browswer does a lovely job of viewing my pbworks classroom page but i cannot type, cut, or paste in PBWorks' rich text editor mode so i can't edit from my phone and i suspect i will find the same problem when we switch to ipads next fall. any help?

This problem should be at least partly fixed in Firefox 5, which will be released later this month. If you'd like to help us test the fix now, you can download Firefox Beta from the Android Market:

How to Set Up TextEdit as an HTML or Plain Text Editor?

How to Set Up TextEdit as an HTML or Plain Text Editor?

Well,
There are 5 choices to choose from on the page. In the description of the choices at the bottom of the page there are 7, and the two additional choices talk about having to first have registered the site with SSO. So...I'm interpreting that as meaning that other 2 possible choices would be displayed if the site is registered with SSO. That, plus the fact that the page which describes how to add the site to SSO seems to think that the SSO choices are displayed in the wizard.
So, no, there's no "exact launguage" that says what the reason is for the choices not being displayed. Can you point me to some exact language that tells me how to get those choices displayed?

Which text editor?
