Closest Editor to Edit Plus for Ubuntu

[MrDiaz]

I've been using Edit Plus2 for a while in Windows and I was wondering if there's a similar app for Ubuntu. I tried Bluefish, pretty fast and pretty, but it lacks a few things EditPlus already has built in. Ex, creating a new java file would already come with the class def and the main method typed in.

Also the syntax highlighting in Blueflish is limited.

Please don't assume we know anything about Windows editors ;)

What do you use it for, and what features do you use?

Yeah I checked the link, it just shows me a wide variety of editors. I was asking as more personal question, if any of you used Edit Plus before and now are using linux editors which one looks more like it.

If you give the features you want, you'll get more.

I think geany would be sort of like edit plus.

I said it in my first post hehe.

-more syntax highlights
-pre-defined programs (in Editplus you would create new->java file and it would already include)



public class
{

public static void main(String[] args)

{
}
}

Thats basically what geany does too. I think it also has syntax highlighting for around 33 languages.

edit: you can check their site out at http://www.geany.org/

I see many IDE's that do this. They are in the list ;)

Oh heck yeah, Geany is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!!
