SciTE

Scintilla is a free source code editing component. It comes with complete source code and a license that permits use in any free project or commercial product. As well as features found in standard text editing components, Scintilla includes features especially useful when editing and debugging source code. These include support for syntax styling, error indicators, code completion and call tips. The selection margin can contain markers like those used in debuggers to indicate breakpoints and the current line. Styling choices are more open than with many editors, allowing the use of proportional fonts, bold and italics, multiple foreground and background colours and multiple fonts. The SinkWorld project investigates possible future directions for Scintilla to make it more flexible, robust, perform better and run on the .NET and Java virtual machines. SciTE is a SCIntilla based Text Editor. Originally built to demonstrate Scintilla, it has grown to be a GeneRally useful editor with facilities for building and running programs. It is best used for jobs with simple configurations - I use it for building test and demonstration programs as well as SciTE and Scintilla, themselves. Development of Scintilla started as an effort to Improve the text editor in PythonWin. After being frustrated by problems in the Richedit control used by PythonWin, it looked like the best way forward was to write a new edit control. new: * SciTE includes support for integrating with Scintillua which allows lexers to be implemented in Lua as a Parsing Expression Grammar (PEG). * Regular expressions allow use of `?` for non-greedy matches or to match 0 or 1 instances of an item. * SCI_CONTRACTEDFOLDNEXT added to allow rapid retrieval of folding state. * SCN_HOTSPOTRELEASECLICK notification added which is Similar to SCN_HOTSPOTCLICK but occurs when the mouse is released. Feature #3082409. * Command added for centring current line in window.
