AutoHotkey Community

A question was asked in Ask for help, so I thought I would make a new poll, since we have many more users than the last time this was brought up. If I am forgetting your editor, please vote Other, since I can't change the poll.

I had to lump a few together, since I had too many poll options.

I use PSPad because I wanted to stop stealing UltraEdit

For people that get directed here for syntax highlighting, AHK comes with a few scripts to configure most of the editors above for Autohotkey Syntax. They are found in c:\program files\Autohotkey\extras\editors\[name of editor]

run the script for the editor of your choice, and happy scripting.

PSPad even though it crashes all the time and isn't open source....

PSPad. If it's crashed on me, I can't remember it.

God, I cringe every time I think about how long I used Notepad.

I use PSPad and Notepad.

I use gvim, and vote for vi instead of Other. Is it correct?

I voted other - most of the time (95% or more) I use JFE (Jens' File Editor). It's loaded with features, runs nicely from a USB drive, and it's free .

JFE seems like a good alternative. Thanks for the link.

I voted PSPad, since it is the one I use currently. I'm considering to use SciTE.

I voted Others: Metapad

ConTEXT. Its like an lightweight PSPad as far as i can tell from looking at PSPad once. It has everything i need (highlighter, code template, nice find results output, execution keys). However it has some quirks and development is on hold for a very long time now but every other editor i have tried had something that just didn't feel right so i am stuck with ConTEXT since i started coding.

I was hoping to lump all vi/vim related editors into one (same with emacs)



I thought I had MetaPad in there. I must have lost it in the shuffle when I had to remove/condense options.



I honestly only listed that since it had a folder in the Autohotkey/Extras/Editors folder. I hadn't heard of it. I should see how it looks

Notepad2.

Same reason why I am using PSPad. PSPad crashes sometimes on old versions, currently it does not crash any more.

PSPad, aber werd mir mal JFE auch ansehn
Für ganz ganz kleine Sachen auch Notepad...

EditPlus. The fastest editor around, starts like a Notepad, have features not found even in much more popular editors. On the bad side, old regular expressions and badly implemented code folding and shareware.

I use the editor in FAR manager it's a text mode win32 file manager similar to Norton Commander.
The editor itself is kinda basic but with plugins support I have most of the features I need when programming and I even used a plugin called Colorer to add AHK Syntax highlighting support.
