Text Editing
These are a few of the editors available on CS systems:
A
screen oriented text editor that uses a modal editor, and therefore is
considered to be more difficult to learn due to the reliance on
learning commands.
gvim
is a graphical version that has menus.
A popular editor that supports many
languages. All CS students are currently taught this and use it.
A
graphical text editor with an interface similar to Microsoft's text
editor. It does support some language features like auto
indentation,
syntax highlighting, and jumping to functions.
A very basic text editor that is
similar to the mail composer in pine.
This is not recommended for programming, but is very good for
simple text editing.
