Text Editing for Beginners. There are many good reasons to use a text editor rather than some other tool. # You will find that programming languages and web pages require pure text, without the stuff that word processors introduce. # Learning a text editor *well* can make you much more productive # Computers process a lot more text than numbers - it helps to know how to effectively and easily work with text. Here are some simple to learn text editors, good for general purpose use: On Windows: * TextPad (commercial) * [[NotePadPlusPlus|Notepad++]] (free) * [[boxer]] (commercial) * UltraEdit (commercial) * [[mined|MinEd]] (free, text-mode) Pretty much any of the [[CuaFamily]] are simple and work in the expected manner. On Mac: * [[BBEdit]] (commercial) * TextWrangler (freeware) (from the makers of BBEdit) * [[mined|MinEd]] (free, text-mode) On Linux: * [[GEdit]] (free, graphical) - works on GNome * [[kate]] (free, graphical) - works on KDE * [[mined|MinEd]] (free, text-mode) * [[Nano]] (free, text-mode) * SetEdit (text mode only, works a lot like Turbo Pascal or MSDOS EDIT)...
