The
one true editor for
Macs (the
mac version of
Emacs on longer sucks as much, but it still seems to be clinging to the past). A
text editor (
as opposed to a
word processor) that uses
Tcl as it's
scripting language. Contains many of the basic
Emacs commands and many many of it’s own; There are an
insane amount of keyboard
shortcuts (about 300, if memory serves). It has 40 different editing modes, including ones for all kinds of programming languages (
C++,
Python,
Perl,
Tcl...). Currently at
version 7.4.1; The
author no longer has enough
free time to work on it, so it’s been taken up by the “
Alpha Cabal”, who are working on version 8.
