Also supports YAML files with syntax highlighting and indentation right out of the box. If you have tabs as your default use for indentation in Sublime Text, Jon Thomas over at explains how to fix this. I've copied what he wrote below for your convenience: Languages like YAML require text to be indented using spaces. Tabs are not allowed. So, if you typically use Sublime Text 2 with tabs as your default indentation, here's how you can force a certain language to always use spaces.

I'll use a.yml file as an example, but you can follow the same steps for any file type. • While editing a.yml file in Sublime Text 2, go to the Sublime Text 2 menu. Go to Preferences -> Settings - More -> Syntax Specifc - User • Sublime Text 2 will open a settings file specific to the language you chose to edit settings for. In this case, I'll be editing the YAML.sublime-settings file, which will apply settings to only the YAML syntax language. • Use the following code to set up your indentation settings: 'tab_size': 2, 'translate_tabs_to_spaces': true.

Notepad++ is a very popular open source text editor for Windows that a lot of programmers use because of the functionality that it has. Notepad++ was first released in November 2003 and as of writing this article is at version 5.0.

Looking for a multi-purpose code editor Lately at I have found myself spending a lot of time coding as I’m currently busy with web development tasks such as designing new features for our and our. To complete this task quickly and efficiently, I found that a good code editor with which I could modify HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP could greatly simplify my work. Previously I looked at ‘‘ and to try and find a suitable editor. They did not exactly cover what I was looking for, so I thought it would be great to test and compile a list of Open Source and Freeware Code Editors that can be used by Coders, Web Developers and Programmers. Notepad++ is a free source code editor released under a License, and it supports several languages. It presently supports the Microsoft Windows platform and is written in C++ and uses pure Win32 API and STL which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program size. NotePad ++ is fully featured and comes with a Tabbed Document Interface so you can work on multiple files at once and has useful little features such as: drag and drop functionality, split screen, spell checking, auto completion, syntax highlighting, folding bookmarks, customization of shortcut key mapping and more.

Setting up my passport for mac. Notepad++ as of version 6.6 has support for 56 different languages ( Ada, asp, Assembly, AutoIt, Batch, C, C++, C#, Caml, Cmake, COBOL, CoffeeScript, CSS, D, Diff, Flash ActionScript, Fortran, Gui4CLI, Haskell, HTML, INNO, Java, Javascript, JSP, KiXtart, LISP, Lua, Makefile, Matlab, MS-DOS, INI file, NSIS, Normal Text File, Objective-C, Pascal, Perl, PHP, PostScript, PowerShell, Properties, Python, R, Resource file, Ruby, Shell, Scheme, Smalltalk, SQL, TCL, TeX, Visual Basic, VHDL, Verilog, XML, YAML). JEdit is a free open source text editor available under the.

It supports BSD, Linux, Mac OS X and Windows and is written in Java thus allowing it to run on all the previously mention systems because of Java being multi-platform. JEdit supports syntax highlighting that provides native support for over 200 file formats. It is relatively modular in design and can be customized to suit the individual user. There are over 150 available jEdit plug-ins that can be used to enhance your coding experience.

A few examples include a XML/HTML editor or an integrated development environment (IDE). Plugins can be downloaded and installed via the “plugin manager” feature.

The Crimson Editor is available as made by Ingyu Kang and is a professional source code editor designed for Windows, and has been designed for speedy loading. It also offers many powerful features for programming languages such as HTML, C/C++, Perl and Java.

Crimson Editor features Windows shell integration, a tabbed document interface, syntax highlighting, multiple undo/redo, column mode editing, bracket matching, auto-indentation, spell checking, direct editing of text files in FTP and can be integrated with different compilers. Crimson Editor also supports the use of macros. Crimson Editor however has not been updated since 2008 and as been superseded by Emerald Editor but it can still be downloaded and used. The Emerald Editor was designed to be a fast, extensible text editor, heavily inspired by Crimson Editor, a freeware text editor created by Ingyu Kang. It offers similar functionality and is Open Source unlike Crimson Editor and is available under a. It supports all of the features of Crimson Editor but is in a position to further maintain, bug-fix, and otherwise develop the software further in the future.
