SkoEd 1.14 A Programmer's Editor Revisited.
Well, when I got my Amiga I found that there were no editors around that I
really liked. Some were good and did quite a lot but they were not me. So I
wrote SkoEd which is in may ways my personal preference. SkoEd is by no means
the begin and end all of Editors; there are a number of areas which need
improving. It is however at a stage that I feel can be released to the Amiga
community.
FEATURES
Here is a list of what SkoEd can do.
- Remaps keystrokes to commands.
- Customisable.
- Multiple Files.
- Multiple Views of files.
- Clones the WorkBench Screen and WorkBench Screen text font.
- Set own Screen and Font.
- Reads,Writes and Converts IBM format files.
- A FAST Find/Replace.
- Column Blocks.
- Clipboard support.
- AutoSave after time limit expires.
- Folding.
- Match {([])}.
- Count number of braces {} in a file.
- Word Completion. (I like this one :-)
- Zoom/Explode of Views.
- Memory file to remember files previously loaded and cursor location.
- Unlimited Marks to allow you to go instantly to a marked location.
- Undelete n Deletes. (n is setable)
- Iconify.
- Script file bit is handled correctly (and is settable).
- AREXX
- User Configurable Gadget Strip
- And other, less obvious functions.
Here are the areas I wish to improve.
- A full macro language. (although with Arexx do I need this?)
- A full Undo as opposed to Undelete (and Redo).
- Repeat command.
- Allow user to create own menu strips.
