What's it? ======== It's an Editor based on wxPython. NewEdit uses Mixin and Plugin technique as its architecture. Most of its classes can be extended via mixin and plugin components, and finally become an integrity class at creating the instance. So NewEdit is very dynamic. You can write the new features in new files, and hardly need to modify the existing code. And if you want to extend the existing classes, you could write mixins and plugins, and this will be bound to the target class that I call "Slot Class". This technique will make the changes centralized and easily managed. What are its features? ================ * Cross platform o based on wxPython, so it can run anywhere that wxPython works, such as: Windows, Linux. o Unicode support. * Most features of wxStyledTextCtrl(Scintilla) o Syntax highlighting, support Python, c/c++, html, plain text, perl, ruby, css, javascript o Folding o Brace Matching o ... * Extended selection o Extended word selection -- You can press Ctrl+?MouseDoubleClick to select a word including '.' o Matched selection -- Select text in quoted chars like: (), [], {}, '', "". * Other editing extension o Duplicating text -- Just like Vim Ctrl+V, Ctrl+P, and more. You can duplicate above or below char, word, line o Quoting text -- Add some quoted chars before and after selected text, just as: "", '', (), [], {}, and o Text convertion and view -- python -> html, reStructured Text -> html, textile -> html, and you can output or view o Utf-8 encoding auto detect o Changing document encoding o Auto backup o Last session support -- It'll save all the filenames as closed, and reopen the files as next started. o Smart judge the indent char -- It'll auto guess the indent char, and sets it. o Finding in files o Bookmark support * Python support o built-in python interactive window based on ?PyShell, support Unicode o Auto completion o Function syntax calltips o Run, run with argument, stop python source o Auto change current path o Python class browser * Code snippets o You can manage your code snippets with categories, and each category can have many items. Every item will represent a code snippet. You can insert an item just by double-clicking on it. It even supports importing and exporting. * Simple project support o Can create a special file _project, so every file and folder under the folder which has the _project can be considered as a whole project. * Extension mechanism o Script -- You can write easy script to manipulate the all resource of NewEdit, just like: text conversion, etc. o Plugin -- Customized function.

The wizard can input user data, combine with template, and output the result. And wizard also support code framework created. This feature will help you improving coding efficiency. * Direcotry Browser(New) o Browse multiple directories, and you can really add, delete, rename directories and files. Double click will open the file in Editor window. * AutoComPlete(acp)(New) o Suport user autocomplete file, it can help to input code very helpful and functional.
