So, to the OP, if you are looking to a good match to notepad++, go with kate, if you want a conversation about who prefers what editor on linux, ask your question differently.
#Textmate like editor linux full#
Kate has left me with no features to miss, and actually with some tweaking actually FEELS a lot like notepad++, and includes a handful of features that notepad++ had but felt quirky, but in Kate they do them right! This, along with file managers actually starting to support svn and git icon overlays, has allowed me to move to linux full time for development and home use. I must say that I have tried quite a few linux editors in the past looking for one that had many of the features I love ab out notepad++ out of the box, including double clicking a word and highlighting all instances or the word or variable, complex search functionality, line duplication by hotkey (ctrl+alt+up/down), moving lines up or down by hotkey(ctrl+shift+up/down), among others. This time when I switched to linux it happened to have Kate preinstalled (Linux Mint 12 KDE).

Since this question gets lots of hits from search engines I’ve opted to update my answer since the old one was no longer useful.Īs a LONG time user of notepad++ (about 16 hours a day for 5 years or so) I had a hard time switching to linux for the exact same reason the OP asked his question. However, it seems like the development of that editor has slowed down to a crawl (see comments for details). , and at the time of writing that was indeed a viable replacement for Notepad++. According to reports it works quite well. which describes itself as having “basic features of an IDE”.įinally, if you’re not willing to learn the use of a new editor, give Notepad++ in By all reports it’s a truly excellent editor. If you are willing to spent a little money, give
Incidentally, many people will argue that this is true even for other platforms. If you are serious about working with code, there is simply no replacement for either of those text editors. They do, however, have a steep learning curve (but there’s unanimous agreement that it’s time well spent). In fact, if you look at their feature sets they blow all other editors out of the water. Don’t let their vintage text-only look scare you away – they are state-of-the-art editors. The traditional editor tools for Linux are
