Komodo Edit

Edit a variety of programming languages

Tim Smith, Computeract!ve 20 May 2008

Although it is possible to write most modern programming languages in a plain text editor such as Notepad, doing so sacrifices many useful aids.

Komodo Edit can be used with HTML, Javascript, php and a host of other languages.

Installation is simple, when the program starts for the first time it has to preload the information used in the autocomplete feature.

The find-and-replace utility has been improved in this latest version of Komodo Edit and the trigger macro means you can enter code snippets using abbreviations, a little like Autocomplete in Microsoft Word.

Usual coding aids such as colour coding and syntax checking are also present. The checking even works in multi-language files, such as Javascript or CSS embedded in an HTML file.

There is also a preview shortcut for working with HTML files.
