For a while now, I have been using UltraEdit on my Windows box. The ability to write scripts with a familiar language (JavaScript) has proved to be extremely useful. The only problem is that I cannot use it on my Linux box at work. Is there a comparable text editor that runs on Linux and has an integrated scripting engine?
Not breaking the bank and being cross-platform would be great.
EDIT:While recordable macros are great, I use the scripting engine much more.
It looks like Komodo Edit, SciTE, and Eclipse Monkey are the winners. Komodo Edit seems to be most similar to Ultra Edit. SciTE is something I’ve used before, and Lua is not that difficult; SciTE’s API though does not seem as extensive as Komodo Edit’s API. Eclipse Monkey is something I am definitely going to use, but it requires Eclipse, which is definitely not a text editor.
EDIT: UltraEdit is coming out for Mac and Linux Soon.
