Sorry, I think my other post explains the wrong thing.
Here is a list of the main advantages of Edita over MEditor:
Edita is significantly faster than MEditor, especially text scrolling,
and I'm pretty sure it opens quite a bit faster too. It also comes
with a dead simple no-frills windows installer.
When you resume a previous editing session Edita will not just open
the same files (like MEditor) but also reposition and show the same
text selection.
Edita has bookmarks, case conversion functions, cut and copy prepend,
multi-line find, a goto line function, control block and bracket
matching, code folding, and fullscreen mode.
Edita supports column as well as normal text selection.
Edita supports binding under 2.5 as well as 2.4
Edita has automatic backups and a recovery mechanism.
Edita comes with a simple window painter and database viewer.
Edita can show control characters (spaces, tabs, and newlines).
Edita has four macro keys F6..F9 instead of just F8 and can save
macros between sessions.
Edita has much better colour and font options, and optional toolbar,
(optionally multiline) tab bar, and line numbers.
Edita can preprocess the ex.err files on load to show strings as eg
crashpath = "C:\Positive\"
rather than
crashpath = {67'C',58':',92'\',80'P',111'o',115's',105'i',116't',
105'i',118'v',101'e',92'\'}
Edita has an optional file panel to show the project tree, a directory
tree, and recovery details, and an optional message area to show
captured console output.
Edita also scans known (Eu) files in the background to maintain a
database of known routines (for F1 lookup) and include file info.
Edita is multi-lingual and comes with language files for English,
German, Spanish, Spanish(latin american), Finnish, French, Italian,
Dutch, and Portuguese. (All of which are user-contributions).
Edita supports multiple programming languages via the .syn files,
which allow for line and block comments, language-specific operators,
nested bracket colouring, file extensions, user-defined indentation
and autocompletion texts, as well as a user-defined number of lists of
keywords, reserved words, recognised functions, etc. At the moment it
supports Eu, batch, html, and fasm files, though I did have a C syntax
file which I appear to have lost.
The internal version also has a new source code re-indent function,
which is the one thing I recall MEditor has that the current release
of Edita does not.
Regards,
Pete
