I tried. What happens is that every couple of seconds, a control bar extends across the top of the window from right to left, stays for a second or two, then vanishes. Otherwise all you do is type into a totally blank pane. Are there keyboard controls? Who knows, maybe there is a way to find out. I decided my remaining time on earth is too short to worry about it. Tell me someone, please, why on earth I should prefer this to Geany, which just sits there and does what you tell it, and whose controls and menu items are, extraordinary idea, always there when you want them? |

There are an extensive set of keyboard controls as well as support for textmate like code snippets. Press ctrl+h for a list. Scribes is a nice little editor. I believe it is originally a fork of gedit, and scribes supports many of the same extensions as gedit. I'm happy with gedit. I have it set up to support ruby, python and C/C++ and have added some customizations for the tools I use everyday (git, compiler, lint, etc). That pretty much covers my needs. Scribes is nice though, If you are a no-clutter kind of person I would recommend giving it a week or so. Geany is nice as well and load time for Geany is faster than gedit (the way I have it set up). |
