Hello again. I recently (this weekend) made the switch to Linux as my primary OS after being a Mac person since 1985. One of the parts of the transition I'm having most trouble with is actually text editors... I was very happy with Tex Edit Plus on the Mac, and none of the editors that came with my distribution come close to its usefulness for my purposes. Specifically, * When I click beyond the right-hand side of a line of text, I want the cursor to appear after the last character I typed on that line, not where I clicked (as happens in the KDE Text Editor and Advanced Editor). KMail does a good job of this, but I can't use KMail for all my text editing needs. * Ability to change quickly between CR, LF, and CRLF line endings is a must. The KDE Advanced Editor does this well, but the above-cited behavior makes it annoying otherwise. * Ability to change the display font is also a must, since I find the font used by the KDE Advanced Editor hard to read. (Is there a way to change this??) * I prefer not to discover arcane keyboard commands by mistake, so please don't tell me Emacs is the One True Editor. I don't dispute that it's great. It's just not for me. * Extra bells and whistles like rulers just slow things down... I guess this isn't the world's fastest computer. I don't have a printer and don't do a lot of programming, so I don't need formatting tools for those purposes. * Tex Edit has a nifty pop-up menu that lets you insert any ASCII character and shows you what character you've got if you select one. Something like that would be handy, since I handle a lot of cross-platform files. Heck, if it could recognize the Mac and Windows extended ASCII as well as Unicode, that would be a dream. Suggestions? Thanks again! --Ben (running Yellow Dog Linux on a PowerBook G3)
