Damn Cool Editor – Open Source Software (jmos.net)

Damn Cool Editor

The „Damn Cool Editor“ is a plain but clever development environment with extrem low dependencies. It provides (among other cool stuff)

plain look & feel
consistently session based usage
auto versioning
auto indention
intelligent home key
syntax dependent bracket completion
syntax dependent line jumper
syntax highlighting
syntax completion (keyword based)
syntax assitance (keyword based)
extensibility of programming languages
extensibility of translations
extensibility of themes/colors

It's intended no option for

geeks expecting a modal editor
mouse focused people (you should know & use [ctrl-c] f.e.)
experts excited about stuff like bbox selections
programmers looking for sophisticated syntax stuff
users unwilling to use mount for remote editing
nerds awaiting code folding
kids believing more boxes are better

It's a cool combination of an old fashioned tool and clever stuff for advanced users thinking that modern IDEs are just bloated toys with far too little focus on the main thing: your code. Currently there's just a short line up of syntax extensions included (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, INI, PHP, Perl, Tcl/Tk, Shell, XML, SVG and Rivet).

Tcl/Tk software! If You want to use a source code archive You will also need an up to date Tcl/Tk interpreter to execute it. And maybe You will need some extra libraries, too (which ones is specified inside the source archive).

Some words about my software All software was written for my own use. It works exactly as I wanted it to act, and I wrote it because other software doesn't. So things You might dislike could be exactly what I wanted to have ;) My code and/or software on this page is free, but never was, is not and never will be freeware. Instead all is published under the terms of the 2-Clause BSD License.
