vim

I am generally a vim user, but I am considering EMACS because ESCAPE-META-ALT-CONTROL-SHIFT actually seems a reasonable combination on the Pyra as it has shoulder buttons/keys.

You use Notepad... but not Notepad++ ???

notepad++ has to many buttons and functions. Better keep it simple.

really? when there are native notepad like solutions like mousepad, pluma or gEdit. Personally for a graphical text editor I mostly use geany.

Like I said Geany, it's prob closest thing for native solutions. Jedit would compare, that is a java program though, so not a favorable in my mind.

Eclipse is a bloated crapware, no one should use that. if you're going with Java solutions, I'd suggest jEdit or Netbeans.

 

[Willhelm]

geany is also my favorite editor.

 

[Kippykip]

Hmm I'll give geany a try, thanks fellas

There is also Sublime and Atom.

In that case, you better go with edlin (if you can still find it, that is.)

True DOS people used 'copy con somefile'

 

[Grench]

I still find myself using nano if I just need to alter a configuration file.

 

[Neelix]

In my DOS days I used to use one called edwin, which I quite liked.
