Showing revision 3CuaFamily editors pioneered the use of CUA (common user access) style of editing now commonplace in MsWindows
?? yet was present in mainframe editors such as the
XeditEditor. The category of
MicrosoftWindowsEditors or
MsDosEditors is probably more specific.
WebHostedEditors run directly off a web page (regardless of technology, though Java and Active-X are probably the most common). Usually get their files from and upload to a web page, whether through a simple POST or using WebDAV.
Try and keep editors in the right family (see CategorizationRules). Emacs enthusiasts seem to want to lump every editor in that family but folks, it just ain't so.
I've also been asked to add a category for
TweeEditors? (I'm guessing Twee is Three?) which are very small editors. I put a category of
TinyEditors out there already....
(Er, actually, twee is
adj : affectedly dainty or refined [syn: dainty, mincing, niminy-piminy, prim

- From the unofficial Twee Editors page: http://www.modest-proposals.com/Twee.htm
A 'twee' editor is one that is only a few multiples of the minimum size for a functional editor, without compression.
These are not really text editor families. They are families of software that can produce plain text but are actually meant for something else:
What about programs that are not editors in the traditional sense, like
sed,
awk,
tr, etc? If there was such a family, I'd add NetRexx-Pipelines
? to it. --JLTurriff
- sed is already here as part of the BellLabsEditor? family. And awk is present as AwkLanguage, part of the ScriptLanguage Family.
- Note that MS edlin can also perform scripted edits in a pipeline. Most folks familiar with edlin from back when managed to miss that ability.
- tr isn't here, but granted it can be used to transform text.
- The assumption for most editors here is that they are used interactively by the user, though some, like TECO, and be run in scripts.
