All,

(This is so far off-topic for this list... But I assume there are folk
around here who will have useful suggestions.)

I've been working with a lot of UTF-8 text recently and my programming
editor of choice (a hacked up Nedit) can't cope... So I have been using
gedit instead, since it does display UTF-8 text correctly (and I
happened to be using a gnome box.) I quite like gedit now. Bit odd in
places, but mostly OK.

But: gedit has this annoying feature that if you double-click a C style
name with an underscore, e.g. "my_variable", it only selects one half of
the name, it does not seem to understand that underscore is *not* a
separator. I assume there is a config option for this somewhere, but can
I find it?

So, the questions are:
- Can gedit be told to do the Right Thing (and how)?
- What's good as an alternate UTF-8 aware programming editor?

Ideally, I'd like something really light-weight - I've never been able
to get into these all-encompassing IDE style things.

TIA,
-- 
Ian
