Sublime Text

Previously I told you guys how I love Notepad ++. Well aside from the syntax highlighting, I feel that the world of text editor has nothing more to offer to me.

Oh boy was I wrong.

A fellow programmer introduced me to Sublime Text. Great interface because it has this little preview that you can click to fast forward to that location that you want to get to. Syntax highlighting blends so well especially I'm working on Javascript. And did I tell you it's free? They have no crippling feature except every day, they'll they ask you to buy.

But you can just keep on pressing Cancel.

Notepad ++ vs Notepad

Why you should use Notepad ++?

1. Opens any files including long 2 MB unicode text file. Try that with the standard notepad: You'll wait for a minute or two, depending on your operating system and RAM.
2. Syntax highlighting. I can never get enough of this. If you weave lots of ASP between your HTML codes like me, you need to know that your ASP codes don't 'leak' into your HTML portion.
3. Built in macro function. It's great for editing those huge XML files.
4. When ASP generates an error, it usually points to the line number in your code. Notepad ++ has a small section with a built in line number for you to trace your code.5. Supporting spell check.

You know what? I think I'll go uninstall my Microsoft Word now...
