"Another Easy Editor"
An easy to use text editor intended to be usable with little or no
instruction. Provides a full-screen text interface via curses (aee)
as well as a graphical user interface under X windows (xae).
Features include pop-up menus, cut-and-paste, journaling, and
multiple edit buffers.
aee is a superset of the "Easy Editor" (ee) that is part of the
FreeBSD base system.
Boiling egg is a front-end of Egg (Tamago) V4.
You can convert roma-ji to kana without toggling input method.
Put the expression below into your ~/.emacs.
(autoload 'boiling-rK-trans "boiling-egg" "romaji-kanji conversion" t)
(autoload 'boiling-rhkR-trans "boiling-egg" "romaji-kana conversion" t)
(global-set-key "\C-o" 'boiling-rK-trans)
(global-set-key "\eo" 'boiling-rhkR-trans)
Hexedit is a Curses based Hex editor. Unlike a text editor, which
is used for editing text documents in the desired language, hexedit
lets you edit any file as it's byte(1) for byte representation. It can
even let you view and edit your fixed disks on your Linux system. This
is not ideal for writing a letter or writing c code, but there are my
times when this is ideal:
* Editing binary executables.
* Editing your fixed disks (i.e. /dev/xyz)
* Checking the output of a Program's binary data file.
* Any place you might use od(1) but need more power. Compare more
vs less.
GNU Emacs is a self-documenting, customizable, extensible real-time
display editor.
Users new to Emacs will be able to use basic features fairly rapidly
by studying the tutorial and using the self-documentation features.
Emacs also has an extensive interactive manual browser. It is easily
extensible since its editing commands are written in Lisp.
GNU Emacs's many special packages handle mail reading (RMail) and
sending (Mail), outline editing (Outline), compiling (Compile),
running subshells within Emacs windows (Shell), running a Lisp
read-eval-print loop (Lisp-Interaction-Mode), automated psychotherapy
(Doctor :-) and many more.
Dickens is a simple, one-buffer-in-one-window, console text editor.
Dickens only understands UNIX-style text files expressed in ASCII, and is
therefore of little or no use to the non-English-speaking world.
Dickens is written in Munger(1). Features include interactive filename
completion, tags support, regular-expression search-and-replace, and
unlimited undo/redo.

Gate is text-gatherer. A text-gatherer is like a text-editor, but much
more lightweight and unobtrusive.
If you have a program or shell script that asks people to enter a small
chunk of text, a text-gatherer like Gate is a good way to do it. It
doesn't clear the screen (annoying if there were just some instructions
printed there). It doesn't require you to know a lot of obscure editing
commands. It doesn't make excessive demands on the intelligence of your
terminal emulation software.
It does provide a number of features that make it easier for novice users
to produce good text. It does word-wrap, prints a prompt on each new line,
and allows backspacing from the currently line onto previous lines. It
also provides features that a more experienced user can use. You can call
up normal editor, or use some of gate's simple-minded editing
commands. You can read in files, or save your text to a file. You can
filter your text through something like the Unix "fmt" command. It
provides a nice spell-checking interface too.
gEdit is a Gtk+ 3 text editor. Its features include:
* Complete integration with the GNOME Environment, including GnomeMDI
* Global Search and Replace
* Dynamically loaded fonts
* Splitscreen Mode
* Printing support
* Configurable Plugins system
* Unlimited Undo/Redo
Award-winning editing for dynamic languages including Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby
and Tcl; plus support for browser-side code including JavaScript, CSS, HTML
and XML.
Background syntax checking and syntax coloring catch errors immediately,
while autocomplete and calltips guide you as you write.
Jupp is the portable version of Joe's Own Editor. This version has been
enhanced by several functions intended for programmers or other professional
users, and has a lot of bugs fixed. It is based upon an older version of
joe because these behave better overall.
Jupp also does come with the editor flavours known from joe, specifically,
jmacs, joe, jpico, jstar, and rjoe. Not all features of jupp are available
for these though (but all the bugfixes, and syntax highlighting is still
enabled by default for these, while it is not auto-enabled in jupp).
