WJG: I was looking for a nice ASED-type script editor to run on my Linux box as ASED uses Tk and looks, well, bloody awful. After spending a few hours mulling over things, including whether or not to migrate over to Python or Lua (mmm, I like wxLua), I think I've found something light and easy to use. Although the Geany spec doesn't mention it, there is formatting support for Tcl/TK along with code folding.
Find it at http://geany.org
Geany is a small and lightweight integrated development environment. It was developed to provide a small and fast IDE, which has only a few dependencies from other packages. Another goal was to be as independent as possible from a special Desktop Environment like KDE or GNOME. So it is using only the GTK2 toolkit, and therefore you need only the GTK2 runtime libraries to run Geany.
Basic features of Geany
- syntax highlighting
- code folding
- code completion
- auto completion of often used constructs like if, for and while
- auto completion of XML and HTML tags
- call tips
- many supported filetypes like C, Java, PHP, HTML, Python, Perl, Pascal (full list)
- symbol lists
witek: I recently submitted a patch so geany - up from version 0.18 - should be able to parse Tcl8.6 classes, methods and namespaces
