#Non gui text editor for windows 10 code

I mostly code Scala, but, as I wrote, I'd wish, and can't see any reasons why couldn't be it made available as a language-agnostic feature – if the line contains '(whatever) #region' – this is a foldable region start, if there's something after '#region' in the line – this is the region title, if the line contains '(whatever) #endregion' – this is the region finish. A region defining directives syntax can be provided by an editor, escaping those directives by a language's comment line syntax.įor example, NetBeans IDE has this functionality for Java, it is well described here: īut in NetBeans this, unfortunately, works only with Java (and, maybe, some other) language, and doesn't work, for example, with Scala. IMHO it could be pretty easily implemented (in editors, that have already implemented code folding for language blocks) for ANY language, no language syntax analysis required.

I can place them anywhere in code, and the editor will offer an option to fold the block delimited into one line (with a title specified as the starting directive argument) and unfold it on demand (much as most of modern editors can do with language blocks, like function bodies for example, but I'd like to be able to do this with any particular block of code I want). Those who are familiar with C# possibly know of #region/#endregion directives. Would be very nice if it could wok as an IDE, showing me class members after I put a dot and press Ctrl+Space, but I can afford lack of this feature if 1-4 features are there. Simple, but swiss-clockwork-reliable refactoring, better to say sort of 'multifile search-and-replace on steroids'.Ĭorresponding open/close parentheses/braces/tags/quotes/etc. In Windows, as far as I can remember, UltraEdit used to have this facility, but I am not sure (update: now I've installed UEx anc couldn't find such a feature there). If I find an editor meeting this point alongside with 1st one, I'd be happy already. Manually-definable foldable regions (like in c#) (defined by special macroses, escaped by (any language's) comments) in any language. No weird key scheme (like VIM has), no command modes (or optionally enablable and unimportant in the editor's usage), etc. Please don't offer VIM (with no GUI) or EMACS (with ugly GUI). (I am sorry to say this to be the first priority, but that's my taste, without it I feel uncomfortable and go unproductive). I DON'T need projects, I don't need build management (I'd prefer to build manually, from command line, and write build scripts myself), I don't need perspectives, workspaces, modules, etc. F-cked up with all IDE bloatware (for my purposes they are all overcomplicated and inconvenient), I came to an idea, that I'd probably better use a good editor than an IDE.
