There is only one editor that can compete with BBedit : Nirvana Editor = nedit

It has standard key codes and has very powerful features.

It's pretty much all I use if I need more than vi/vim, but it can do anything
you can do with vim and much more.


Nedit is much easier to learn than emacs or xemacs and since you did not
mention emacs, I will presume you have not used it or are not a fan of it.

Emacs can do a lot of things and do them well, but it operates very
differently that the editors you noted, and would require a steep learning
curve.

Best of luck.

I searched the archives of this list under "text editor" and found no results, so am asking...

In Mac OSX there is a text editor called BBEdit http://www.barebones.com/ that is absolutely phenominal for text editing and coding.

In Windows there is TextPad http://www.textpad.com/.

The built-in text editor that comes with Fedora does not come close to either of these. What else can I YUM for that will?

There is a fine line between genius and lunacy, fear not, walk the
line with pride. Not all things will end up as you wanted, but you
will certainly discover things the meek and timid will miss out on.
