Hi


I am looking for good code editor. Preferably with brief-like features, like column marking etc


Look for HbIDE.


It is Harbour oriented code editor and project manager,
written in Harbour, for Harbour, with many Harbour specific goodies,
with powerful column editing features.

Hello Mario,
 
Seems interesting although I never heard of it before.
I assume you use it. Did you customize to use with Harbour? What did you do?
Do you mind to say more about this code editor?
I liked the Minimap feature although I prefer the “Sublime Text”  approach as one of the best and most pleasant. It is cool but misses a functions/procedures map on the right side (could be a switch with the Minimap)
In Harbour we have “HBIDE” that is pretty interesting and very complete although I do not use because I just need a simple lightweight and fast code editor.
I use “xDev Studio” that is also made for Harbour and it is freeware: http://www.vailton.com.br/index.php/artigos/item/86-xdevstudio but it also could have less options (like built in program compiler scripts, etc...) I like only the editor and project manager (the color schema is pleasant to me).
xEdit is interesting too: http://www.xailer.com/download?file=3  I used it for a while and it has a good integration with SQLite.
Thanks for sharing.
 
Thanks

Hello Clippero,
 
It is also a good option with UTF-8 support - very light and simple.
I found someone explaining a bit about it.
Do you have Harbour syntax file for it or you use Foxpro syntax?

Hi Qatan
in the DOS days
I used the editor MELITE that allowed me to, among other things, to select, and then do a copy / paste, also of columns of source code. Moving on to Windows 64-bit I was forced to find another editor who approached to MELITE and through the FACEBOOK page of HARBOUR I happened to find SYNWRITE. At the beginning I had some doubts but then they found the keyboard shortcuts I just adopted without regrets. I have not studied thoroughly, but I can tell you what I scopertio so far:
1) For the syntax HARBOUR you can add it by selecting the menu item VIEW-LEXER. Unfortunately you do not find in the installed version, but you can add it; just copy the files HARBOUR.ACP, which I enclose, within the folder SYNWRYTE / HL.
2) For the keyboard shortcuts you should select the menu item and select OPTIONS-CUSTOMIZE-KEYS. However those that I use the most are the following:
- CTRL + D to duplicate a row
or group of selected lines
-
CTRL + Y to delete a line
or group of selected lines
- ALT + ARROW (UP / DOWN) to move up / down the current line or selected
- SHIFT + ALT + ARROW (UP / DOWN / RIGHT / LEFT) to select text in columns (to select rows, obviously just use only SHIFT + ARROW (UP / DOWN)
- To COPY / PASTE is used, of course, the same key combination WINDOWS
- ALT + Backspace undo the changes made, obviously from the last) and within OPTIONS-CUSTOMIZE you can choose to cancel groups of changes or not (recommend you to read all the different options are endless. I, for one I also changed the background white screen that me weary eyes.)
- F2 saves the file
3) Another interesting thing is that if you select a group of rows and then click on the bullet markers that appears to the left of the last row selected, the block will change colors and all the changes that are made to a word in it, are made , automatically, in all other occurrences of the same word within the block (tap again to deselect the bullet markers). An example can be found here.
http://www.uvviewsoft.com/synwrite/images/SyncEdit.gif

At the moment I can not think of anything else.

I hope I was clear (I used google translate) and especially that I was helpful.
I remain at your disposal.

Hello and good day (at least to me it is day).

AFAIR the correct folder to store the acp file is Synwrite/Data/autocomplete.

Another element to take in count for Synwrite evaluation is the availability of external tools that, after a short and simple configuration, allows an effective integration with hbmk2.

A old good editor with things like this was IBM PE2, where we can configure each key using a simple keyboard programming language.
It exists a 32 bits clone version PE32.
I used too much the original 16 bits version.

But at momment I like Programmers Notepad.

Hi,
in my installation does not exist subdirectory DATA (version 6.11.1680) but the editor works perfectly even if I copy the folder SYNWRITE in another PC without installation.

I noticed that you can add external tools but I did not understand what and how to use them. You give examples?

Hi, I just tested and in the last SynWrite version (6.14.1835) the syntax isn't linked until you put the acp file in the data/autocomplete folder.
The changelog says:

6.13.1740

* folders change! Folder "Template" is now "Data"(remove old "Template" by hands-- if u don't want goback to 6.12). Folder "HL" not needed too(remove by hands)-- acp files gone to "Data\autocomplete", LXL file gone to Synw root.

About the external tools:
1. access configuration via the menu "Tools" and add something as:



The tool now appears in the same "Tools" menu, or you can add a button in a user toolbar.
The program help is very clear about this steps.
Ask me if needed some further help.

Hi Maurizio,
thanks for the reply and for example. I installed the new version and, of course, you're right in folder names.

For QATAN, following the changes made to the new version, for the syntax HARBOUR follow these steps:
1) Download the file to attach
2) Select the menu item OPTIONS-CUSTOMIZE LEXERS LYBRARY ..., select IMPORT FILE A LEXER FROM A FILE ... and open the downloaded file.
3) Select the menu item VIEW-LEXER-H-Horbour
4) END

I tried with the latest version (6.14.1835) and you are right about the location but I copied that and I can’t find it on the menu (View/LEXER)...
Is something that I am missing? Look the attached image of my screen showing both the folder and the program.

Talking about nostalgia... who remembers?:
  • Sidekick 1.x: My favorite on the DOS times because it was in memory (TSR), I could check the ASCII table and I could capture/copy the screen. When 2.0 came I was stopping my programmers career... Sad smile
  • QEdit: The best until Windows came with other nice options

I remember it perfectly, so much so that I configure in my new text editors F2 to save   ;)
That key was assigned to my Sidekick for more than 20 years ago to save editing.

FWIW the Zeus IDE emulates the Brief keyboard mapping and has column marking and column editing.

It is scrip-table like the original Brief, but it is script-able in Python.

It also has limited support for Clipper/xBase languages.

I used Brief way back in the day but moved to Multi Edit back in the 90's. It support over 50 languages include xBase. It has all of the Brief features including keyboard layout if you want. Includes all of the column manipulation features including upper/lower/first cap text, commenting, etc.
It comes with an add on called Evolve that includes xBase specific tools like DBF documenting, re-indent code, list constants (even from the #include), etc.
It has one of the best source code file compare tools I have found.

I discovered SynWrite ( http://www.uvviewsoft.com/synwrite/ ) thanks to Miguel Angel Juárez Apaza, and I'm comfortable with it.
It's free, it has a lexer for Harbour, a project manager and all the tools needed to launch hbmk2 and more.
It's highly customizable using a lot of plugins and has a full set of features.
I think that a look is mandatory before to adopt definitively the own code editor.

For me, a good editor and a good keyboard make up 90% of success :)

I used BRIEF many years ago, then Notepad++ and Sublime. Both are good editors, but I'm not completely satisfied. While I used the Notepad++ I had a problem with the code page: PRG having ASCII graphics characters are sometimes corrupted after savings. I do not like the Sublime search command, because always works as incremental search. System for automatic closing parenthesis does not always work the way I expect, work with multiple windows is pretty weak (my opinion). I plan to test the UltraEdit and MultiEdit, both editors at first glance looks excellent.

FWIW Zeus has good BRIEF emulation (but it is not a 100% clone).

In fact some BRIEF users have said in some ways Zeus is actually better than BRIEF: http://www.zeusedit.com/awards.html

I tried Zeus today. It looks very good (when I turned off everything except the main screen), recognized .PRG files; BRIEF emulation is good ... But!

In the first 5 minutes report two different internal errors (try F3, F3, F4 in BRIEF emu.mode). When an error occurs, does not allow exit from the program, I had to use the taskmanager :( The next session is collapsed without a visible reason, too. Search command always working in incremental mode. 

Maybe next time :)

I'm sorry to read Zeus did not run correctly on your machine and I'm not really sure why it would not be working as expect :(

I tried replicating this by hiding everything, setting the keymap to Brief and hitting F3, F4, F3, F3, F4, stopping and re-starting Zeus, but for me it worked as expected.

> Zeus dont run - it gives some error.

The only know reasons for these types of problems are:

1) Some virus checkers (i.e. Bitdefender is a known culprit) incorrectly identify it as a virus.

2) Some people try running Zeus on server systems and it is stopped from running for DEP reasons (i.e. it crashes on startup or does not even start).

The DEP security settings on server machines are much tighter than for standard Windows client machines and this is the cause of the issue.

But it turns out those DEP issues easily fixed with some simple configuration changes: http://www.zeusedit.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6719&p=9886&hilit=server#p9886

The fact that a dump file was created shows that this was a Zeus internal error, so there is no doubt you have found a bug.

I'll take a look at the crash dump to see if it highlights cause of the issue.

As a first guess I suspect this has something to do with the fact that you hid all the GUI elements other than the main editor window.

Something particular to that (rather unique) configuration has resulted in the issue.

But none the less this is is still a Zeus bug :(

The crash dump has me confused as it says the crash happened when the IDE was closing?

When you say the F3,F4 commands you do mean the 'split current view', 'join current view' BRIEF commands don't you?

I used Brief way back in the day but moved to Multi Edit back in the 90's. It support over 50 languages include xBase. It has all of the Brief features including keyboard layout if you want. Includes all of the column manipulation features including upper/lower/first cap text, commenting, etc.
It comes with an add on called Evolve that includes xBase specific tools like DBF documenting, re-indent code, list constants (even from the #include), etc.
It has one of the best source code file compare tools I have found.

Hi


I am looking for good code editor. Preferably with brief-like features, like column marking etc


Look for HbIDE.


It is Harbour oriented code editor and project manager,
written in Harbour, for Harbour, with many Harbour specific goodies,
with powerful column editing features.

You need not to compile HbIDE at all if you are using the same distro.

About the debugger, please look into qtcontribs changelog or past messages on that group.
