Hi,

I'm just curious on which text editor everyone is using and mainly on cacko 1.23?

I know vi is on it but is anyone using anything else?

Sure!
I prefer nano as a simple command line editor ( [a href=\"http://www.hermocom.com/en/download]http://www.hermocom.com/en/download[/url] ) and I prefer the editor coming with Tree!Explorer QT Plus (Tree!Text QT)  as a graphical editor.
I do not do much programming with them, mostly email, shell scripts and contif files.
For programming certainly an editor with decent syntax highlighting etc. is the better choice.

On  a similar note, "microemacs" is mentioned on the software matrix (https://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Distributions), and I have seen reference to Xemacs in the pdaXrom list.  However, you don't hear much about GNU-Emacs on this board.  Does anyone have a success story to report with GNU-Emacs?  How is the speed?  Usability with ctrl sequences?

I use Zeditor for editing conf files and general text files.
I'm not a programmer, just an enduser.
So I have no need for the advanced features of other text editors out there.
BTW, Zeditor is much better than the default editor that comes with Cacko or Sharp ROMs.

1) TreeTextQT
2) ZEditor (english)
3) SimpleEdit
4) yEdit

I often find it useful to have several editors open for different tasks.

Unfortunately HancomMobileWord is *still* the only "editor" for the C860 that I know of which even reads RTF & even more unfortunately will NOT write RTF.

Hi,

Well I typically use the full GNU Emacs on pdaXrom, with no problems.

For the past few days, on the SHARP ROM on 5500, I have been using micro emacs.
It took a while to get used to, and I did no customization, nor do I know how.

I was frustrated at first, since it took a lot of trial and error to figure out what
key combinations it was looking for.  Some observations that might help folks:

The BACKSPACE key deletes the character AT the cursor, not what I expected.

In order to delete the character to the left of the cursor, use SHIFT-FN-H

It seems most control characters require SHIFT and FN together, but
not all for some reason.  To save, SHIFT-FN-X then SHIFT-FN-S.  But
to exit, SHIFT-FN-X and FN-C.

I typically do not use the SHARP ROM, but I'm looking at it again, and since
is so stable, and some very interesting efforts like pdaXqtrom are appearing,
which provide a lot of power and flexibility, while maintaining the stability and
"no surprises" experiences of running under the SHARP ROM.

I believe this is because Shift-FN is control, except for cut and paste (ctrl - c / ctrl - v) which have been abbreviated because they're used so much.

You can find the full GNU Emacs at [a href=\"http://focv.com/ipkg/]http://focv.com/ipkg/[/url] for the Sharp ROM. I use it daily. It's superb, fast, no probs, really great.

English version of what? This is the current CSV full Emacs, and obviously, it's in English.

Maybe what he meant is that [a href=\"http://focv.com/ipkg/]http://focv.com/ipkg/[/url] seems to go to a page in Japanese without any links to ipkgs.

It looks like a "404" message, doesn't it?
