ne - the nice editor for Mac 2.0.3
Description
Are you a developer looking for a powerful and easy-to-use text editor for your Mac? Look no further than ne - the nice editor.
ne is a free, open-source text editor based on the POSIX standard that runs on almost any UN*X machine. It's designed to be easy to use for beginners, but fully configurable for advanced users. And best of all, it's incredibly efficient in its resource usage.
If you're tired of struggling with editors like emacs or vi, ne might be just what you need. Here are some of the features that make it stand out:
- Compatibility: ne compiles effortlessly on almost any platform and is packaged for all Linux distributions. It's also been ported to other operating systems like Mac OS X.
- Speed: Despite its small size, ne is incredibly fast and responsive.
- Simplicity: With standard keystrokes (like CTRL-C for copy), ne is easy to learn and use.
- Bandwidth-friendly: Because it uses very little bandwidth, ne is ideal for editing files over slow connections like phone lines or GSM/GPRS/UMTS networks.
- Large file support: Thanks to its compact internal text representation, ne can easily handle even very large files.
But that's just scratching the surface. Here are some more features that make ne an excellent choice:
User Interfaces:
ne offers three different user interfaces - control keystrokes, command line, and menus - so you can choose the one that works best for you. And if none of them quite fit your needs? No problem - both keystrokes and menus are completely configurable.
Syntax Highlighting:
With syntax highlighting support built-in, coding in languages like HTML or Python becomes much easier.
UTF-8 Support:
ne has full support for UTF-8 files (including multiple-column characters), so you can work with international character sets without any issues.
Flexible Limits:
The number of documents and clips as well as display dimensions are limited only by integer size of your machine; file/line lengths have no limits at all!
Scripting Language:
For those who want even more customization options beyond what's available through configuration settings alone there’s a simple scripting language where scripts can be generated via an idiotproof record/play method
Undo/Redo Capability:
With unlimited undo/redo capability (which can be disabled if desired), mistakes become much less stressful!
Automatic Preferences System:
Based on the extension of the file name being edited; this feature automatically applies preferences specific to certain types of files making editing faster & easier
File Requester with Completion Features
Finding files has never been easier thanks to completion features built into our file requester
Extended Regular Expression Search & Replace
This feature allows users familiar with emacs or vi-style search-and-replace commands will feel right at home using this feature in Ne
Editing Binary Files
Ne supports binary editing which makes it perfect when working with non-textual data such as images or audio/video content
In short – Ne offers everything developers need from their text editor – speed, flexibility, power, simplicity & efficiency. So why not give Ne a try today?
