The best editor is the one you already know, so there are good chances you = won't need LEA at all. It's clearly a personal and subjective matter. So I'= ll explain why *I* need LEA. I am using GPS and I am mostly happy with it. = Same for Notepad++, but for other reasons. Actually I am using often both t= ogether and swap from one to the other. So basically my first goal is to re= place Notepad++ (the way I am using it) by LEA, with a few things borrowed = from AdaGIDE, like comment/uncomment buttons or reopening of files at the l= ine they were closed; and a few improvements. > what do you mean by "light-weight" This alludes to somthing like Notepad++: quick start, responsitivity, possi= bility to work project-less. > and "script-like"? This is in the works, but for small programs you'll be able to punch a key = and see the result immediately. > Separate question; I gather "SciLexer.dll" is a lexer; where is the sourc= e for that (I'm always looking for a better lexer)? SciLexer.dll is the (too modest) name for the Scintilla editor, which inclu= des lexers for many programming languages. Actually SciLexer.dll contains t= he editor with full features.
