what editor do you use?

New code should only have spaces. It's official, or at least "strongly
preferred".

Well, not really. The only excuse to use tabs is using a broken editor
that can't produce spaces when pressing tab. If one is just choosing
an editor, it's easy to avoid broken ones.

And also get an interesting glimpse at the dark side of the Python
community ;-).

[SciTE] can call external utilities. I use it with Astyle and
HTML Tidy. One click reformatting of source code.

"One click"? You mean can run the current buffer through an external
program and replace the buffer with the output? How do you do that?

Thanks,

Question about Scite :

I like it, it's very fast ! However it insists on saving the current
buffer when I switch to another buffer, and deletes the Undo history. This
is very annoying. Any idea how to fix that ?

Thanks !

Salut Pierre-Frédéric,

I have only had SciTE for a few days, so I am no expert. But mine doesn't
do that. You might try the User properties File (you can open it via the
options menu). In the #Checking section there is an option for reloads
preserving undos. That is the only setting I can think of that I changed
and might be related. (The documentation for SciTE walks through some of
the less intuitive settings.)

SciTE is the editor I have been looking for all these
years.
[...]

Some of the highlights:

* The code folding is superb - it even folds HTML!
[...]

and class browser.

if you have wxpython installed, there is a class browser add-on.

(in german):

Download:
http://www-public.tu-bs.de:8080/~y0011042/scclbr/scitebrowser.zip

and add to your python.properties file:

command.name.2.*=Class Browser
command.2.*="E:\EigDat\Python\scitebrowser\scitebrowser.pyw"
"$(FileDir)" "$(WindowID)"
command.subsystem.2.*=2

replace the path with your location of scite browser:
command.2.*="E:\EigDat\Python\scitebrowser\scitebrowser.pyw"

astyle (from sourceforge(?)) handles python code?
if so, how can you integrate it into the scite editor?

thank you in advance,

Learned the stuff below from the SciTE docs... you should
also post future questions in the scite-interest list at
lyra.org so we won't be OT here in comp.lang.python.

My Astyle and HTMLTidy settings are as follows:

In cpp.properties...

command.name.0.$(file.patterns.cpp)=Astyle File
command.0.$(file.patterns.cpp)=astyle --style=kr -s2 -o $(FileNameExt)
command.is.filter.0.$(file.patterns.cpp)=1


In html.properties...

command.name.0.$(file.patterns.tidy)=Tidy Entire File
command.0.$(file.patterns.tidy)=tidy -q -m "$(FileNameExt)"
commmand.save.before.0.$(file.patterns.tidy)=1
command.is.filter.0.$(file.patterns.tidy)=1

command.name.1.$(file.patterns.tidy)=Tidy Selection
command.1.$(file.patterns.tidy)=tidy -q --show-body-only yes
command.input.1.$(file.patterns.tidy)=$(CurrentSelection)
command.replace.selection.1.$(file.patterns.tidy)=1
command.quiet.1.$(file.patterns.tidy)=1

command.name.2.$(file.patterns.tidy)=Tidy Lint
commmand.save.before.2.$(file.patterns.tidy)=1
command.2.$(file.patterns.tidy)=tidy -q -o nul "$(FileNameExt)"

(Tidy integration for Selection and Lint is not as clean as I would want...)

Set reload.preserves.undo=1 in SciTEGlobal.properties might fix this.

Oh, I see! You want abuse - that's down the hall.
