(ne stands for "Nice Editor")
Does anyone else use it? It's a small 'vi replacement' editor but it uses normal keybindings (Ctrl-O = Open,Ctrl-Q = Quit etc). Here's the feature list from its home page http://ne.dsi.unimi.it/
- compiles without effort everywhere (or almost everywhere), is packaged for all Linux distributions, and ported to other operating systems (such as Mac OS X);
- is fast, small, powerful and simple to use;
- has standard keystrokes (e.g., copy is CTRL-C);
- uses little bandwidth, so it is ideal for email, editing through phone line (or slow GSM/GPRS/UMTS) connections;
- has a very compact internal text representation, so you can easily load and modify very large files…
- three user interfaces: control keystrokes, command line, and menus; keystrokes and menus are completely configurable;
- syntax highlighting;
- full support for UTF-8 files, including multiple-column characters;
- the number of documents and clips, the dimensions of the display, and the file/line lengths are limited only by the integer size of the machine;
- simple scripting language where scripts can be generated via an idiotproof record/play method;
- unlimited undo/redo capability (can be disabled with a command);
- automatic preferences system based on the extension of the file name being edited;
- automatic completion of prefixes using words in your documents as dictionary;
- a file requester with completion features for easy file retrieval;
- extended regular expression search and replace a la emacs and vi;
- a very compact memory model—you can easily load and modify very large files;
- editing of binary files.
