[Bldg-sim] Comparison of Text Editors for idf-file

[Pavel Dybskiy <pdybskiy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

It might be useful for some of us who gets annoyed with notepad.

I did a quick comparison of three text editors: TextPad 6.1.3, Notepad++ 6.1.5 and relatively new Sublime 2.1.

I have selected several features, some of which I found very useful, others somehow useful.

E.g. very useful:   

• Syntax highlighting, 
• Side by side file compare (someone may know this feature from Total Commander), 
• Text fold/unfold(collapse/uncollapse)

Somehow useful:

• Save Copy As ... ,  
• Rectangular selection (used to be in the stone age qedit)

A picture in the attachment shows the results of this comparison.

In brief, NONE of these editors can claim having MORE THAN ONE useful feature!   

Your comments and personal experience are very welcome.

Thanks,
