- CED used to be the top editor for most folks (I still prefer Uedit),
- but nowadays TurboText seems to be more lively. It lets you view/
- edit files in hex, even. I think it has about as many features as
- CED and is fully 2.0-ish.
-
- I think any of these three will let you do fancy stuff like look up
- the autodoc corresponding to the function that is named where the
- cursor is, and similarly advanced stuff. Like, I don't use the
- SnoopStrip program to strip memory alloc/free reports, I use a Uedit
- command I made. I made my own command for putting the page numbers
- in the table of contents of a user manual I wrote ... no big trouble.
-
- Uedit 3.0 now has a feature for unlimited-depth remembering of pieces
- of cut text, or setting any particular finite limit to how many
- pieces are cut. Ditto for any of several kinds of text that get
- stored in separate buffers and then discarded. (Old ARexx input
- messages, even.) I plan to make a function for displaying a struct's
- definition in the includes given the name. It lets you easily
- incorporate mouse control into macros, though the visual look you get
- is very basic and utilitarian. I suspect that for anyone wanting a
- slicker (more expensive) commercial product, TurboText may be a good
- choice -- I bet it can do most of the things mentioned in this thread.
