Great Editor for ConEmu

[Gavin-Holt]

Hi

I would like to recommend FTE as a great editor to use in ConEmu. Their sourceforge repo includes compiled binaries for windows (http://sourceforge.net/projects/fte/files/fte/fte-20050108/). I don't know which compiler was used but this version behaves very nicely in ConEmu:

• Resize window with mouse
• Change font size with "CTRL-mouse wheel" - good for tired eyes
• Takes color schemes from ConEmu

Download all the files, you will need the -common.zip if you want to do any customization. The documentation is sparse and the project is not current, but the speed is exhilarating!

Those who want to customize the editor can change the menus, indentation, keyboard shortcuts - both at default level and by file type. Once you get into it the macro-scripting is useful if frustrating. To save your time see my best examples below:

sub MyBlockSel { PushGlobalBookmark; ?MoveBlockStart; MoveLineStart; BlockMarkStream; PopGlobalBookmark; MoveLineEnd; MoveNext; BlockMarkStream; }

sub MyBlockPaste { # Re-selects for repeated block actions BlockPasteStream; SavePos; MoveBlockEnd; PushGlobalBookmark; MovePrevPos; BlockMarkStream; PopGlobalBookmark; MovePrev; BlockMarkStream; }

sub MyBlockYank { ?BlockKill ; KillLine }

sub MyBlockDup { MyBlockSel; BlockCopy; MyBlockPaste; }

item "Show &DOS\tAlt+F5" { ShowEntryScreen } item "Find &Strip...\tShift+F9" { IncrementalSearch } item "Find &in Files...\tCtrl+Alt+F9" { Compile "Findstr /n /s 'seach text' FileSpec" } item "&spell..." { FileSave; RunProgram " P:\MyPrograms\EDITORS\Addins\Hunspell\hunspell.exe -d P:\MyPrograms\EDITORS\Addins\Dictionary\en_GB -p P:\MyPrograms\EDITORS\Addins\Dictionary\USER_DICT.dic " . $FilePath ; FileReload; }

The only Gotcha I have found with this version is a failure to recognize Alt+Ctrl+Alpha key combinations.

This editor is so fast and has so much power it's difficult to believe I missed it for the last 15 years! Many thanks to Marco Maceko.

Have fun

What is the sense of the issue?

Anyone may use any editor he prefers. My personal favorite is Far Manager which is highly customizable, support true-color schemes, has powerful syntax colorization with source outlining, and much more.

Many users prefer vim by their unux experience. And of course notepad++ and Sublime text.

All these editors and managers are live projects.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I just wanted to share a good experience of ConEmu + FTE.

A list of software that works well with ConEmu would be interesting.

I see. Actually there are thousands of well written console applications. And many GUI application works well in ConEmu too.
