  1. POSpecific programming text editor for simple open/close editing
    text
    copied!<p>I'm looking for very specific text editor:</p> <ul> <li>Closes on ESC, no project management or tabs</li> <li>Syntax highlighting - preferably with color themes (e.g. can apply different color themes without changing C# coloring definition) or, at least, can load/save themes; support for C/C#/XML/HTML/JavaScript/etc - common MS/.NET world - out of box</li> <li>Configurable keys, or: Shift-Tab shifts blocks</li> <li>XML/HTML auto-completion support - well, optional</li> </ul> <p>I use synplus plugin for Total Commander currently, but it has few drawbacks (e.g. crashes sometimes ;-), no auto-completion, etc).</p> <p>Basically I want <strong>fast</strong> Visual-Studio-like editor that I open, do edits, and then close using ESC. I remember I tried Notepad++, etc - most of them open files in tabs, don't close on ESC... - that is, behave like IDE.</p> <p>At least I've just downloaded Notepad++, it doesn't close on ESC even if I setup keybindings to do so.</p> <p>Autocompletion is optional (though it is to be simple as just tags completion), what I really look for is closing on ESC, not getting in the way with all the tabs and IDE-like, and good coloring. Plus shift-tab is must have for blocks manipulation.</p> <p>Update: any open-source one that I can easily tweak to close on ESC? ;-) Seems like ESC (and reasonable color highlighting) is the core requirement. I've just tried many editors - Programmer's Notepad, E, Crimson, etc - I can't set any of them to close on ESC. Any external tool to close selected program on ESC? ;-)</p> <p>UPDATE: Hm, found an awesome utility for my latest thought: <a href="http://www.autohotkey.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.autohotkey.com</a>. Easy to setup to close any window on ESC (as well as many other tricks). Seems like the most tough requirements is gone - I can use ANY text editor ;-)</p>
