Nedit has one big disadvantage -- one that made me switch to XEmacs completely. Motif applications can't handle a utf-8 locale. The file dialogs simply don't work anymore. Anyway, since I practically live in my editor, it doesn't matter much to me how fast it starts. I'd be using Kate if it included a macro language, I've begin writing an editor in pure PyQt -- down to the bit that puts the glyphs on screen, but I wound up doing other things. And the example application in my book on PyQt is an editor, but that's simply a wrapper for QMultiLineEdit. If I can get Qt-Scintilla working from Python, I'd probably wind up writing my own anyway... It's fun. - -- Boudewijn Rempt | http://www.valdyas.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9nJoLdaCcgCmN5d8RAil4AKCFuMVV+yIho6NwX3G8jKPj6HykxACeJpAq ce2zx6LBdVwFYJRSN8JCSpY= =Cpsy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ PyKDE mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.gmd.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde
