Well, his blog has a couple of articles about editors in general. If you scroll down on the main blog page, some interesting features that stand out to me are: 1. Using an embedded text search box (like Geany's Toolbar Search field) instead of a dialog box. (Scribes does this as well.) 2. Multiple editing panes with minimal distraction. (The photo on the blog shows 5 panes, both monitors full-screen). (I realize that split-pane is a feature for Geany that's been requested and discussed in the past.) Of course, Geany already has a nice View menu item to toggle extra widgets. 3. Looks like Sublime has some things in common with TextMate. The blog indicates it can read TextMate's "syntax files" (not sure exactly what that means). TextMate is pretty popular right now on Mac OS X. I've seen some pretty neat colorschemes on TextMate, many of which are user-contributed. Might be pretty interesting if Geany, TextMate, and Sublime could all interchangably use the same colorscheme files. Good way to get a lot of free colorschemes. :) Also, Sublime has a pretty neat ultra-zoomed-out file view that might just be a novelty, or might be useful. Looks like the sort of thing that could be done with a Geany plug-in and some graphics code. Anyway, just some ideas that I thought Geany users might find interesting to chat about. ---John _______________________________________________ Geany mailing list [email protected] http://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany
