Wordwrapping in Linux

[Morten W. J.]

Running Linux I need a really good editor and haven't been able to find any yet. Do any of you know of a Linux editor that handles wordwrapping EXACTELY as TextPad?
Wordwrapping is the main issue for me and so far I have not ben able to find any that works like TextPad.

I'll have to think of something until a Linuxversion of TextPad is avaliable.

Best regards,
Morten

I believe Textpad runs under WINE, so you could do that (assuming you're running Linux on an x86).

The XandrOS distribution of Linux is, according to reviews, particularly good at running well-programmed Win32 apps. It copes fine with recent MS Office apps.

Textpad runs fine under SUSE 8.0 using Wine. You cannot run the setup so you will need to run the seup in windows and copy the resulting files to somewhere where your linux install can find them.

IMHO emacs is the best editor on earth. i think you should test xemacs so you can use your mouse and menues
although it dont handle wordwrapping EXACLTY as textpad i think you will like it.

Oddly, the two best text editors available - TextPad and UltraEdit - are not ported to Linux. Yet users keep telling them that the first one there will win that valuable present (and future) market share.

Textpad also works under Win4Lin..using SUSE 8.0..

Simple ed under Linux, SciTE.
Java based, jEdit (with Blackdown jdk under Linux).
Look in freshmeat.net and/or sourceforge.net.
