Re: Windows alternative to BBEdit
We use Ultra-Edit for our windows services. A great editor for all sorts of programming.

Can anyone recommend an alternative, something closer to BBEdit or Coda? Thanks! Robert, Congratulations on the job. Condolences on it being a Windows shop. Yes, back in the last century, I too had a job in a Windows shop. At the time, I found a featuresome chunk of HTML creating software and was mostly pleased with using it. I thought I might recommend it again as a possibility, but looking at their pages with iCab--which has an immediate HTML/CSS checker--I found the pages riddled with errors. Now really. How can anyone with a shred of self respect offer to sell a program that makes broken pages? Sorry. I thought I had something to offer. Guess I don't.

open file by name kills
when I hit control-d by accident it launches a window called open file by name and from there bbedit goes into lockup. I can't do anything except force quit. I am working on projects on a mounted volume so I am not sure what bbedit is doing at this point but this is murder. I look at activity viewer and it shows bbedit using .3 of the processor and is not responding. Additionally I get the beach ball and it flashes periodically. Would be nice to have bbedit handle this more wisely, I imagine it is trying to interact with the finder in some way and since it is a mounted volume over the internet it is performing poorly. At the least I'd like to eliminate this feature. Can I reasign cntrl-d. It sure would be nice to hit cntl . and have it all end but allas my only resolution is to force quit and shift launch to prevent relaunch of the Open by name window and a return to bbedit hell. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the BBEdit Talk discussion group on Google Groups.
