View 9 RepliesWhy isn't there a simple program like Microsoft Windows' Notepad? One which is format stupid (ASCII only), so I can over-ride hidden html character entities. The other day I found myself wasting hours trying to get the Xephyr to work by cutting and pasting the terminal instructions from the following website into a gnome-terminal session - but each time it would give me the same, small window. I tried copying the text from the browser (using copy and paste) to gedit, but gedit was not showing the hidden character entities from the html code. After all this lost time trying different resolution sizes, I became suspicious that something was interfering with my cutting and pasting between gedit and the CLI terminal. Sure enough when I compared the webpage source code it gave me the clue to the problem.
From the same page - two examples:
Hidden character (notice the '�' or × )
$ Xephyr -ac -screen 1280�786 -br -reset -terminate 2> /dev/null :2 &
NO hidden character (notice the 'x')
$ Xephyr -ac -screen 1280x1024 -br -reset -terminate 2> /dev/null :1 &
[code]....
I even tried cutting and pasting out of the terminal yet somehow it retained the hidden characters. I could not find any preference setting in any of these programs which would allow for either eliminating the hidden characters doing a cut and paste or at least revealing them. I would like to plead to programmers out there for this basic functionality...
Ive been wondering, if there is a audio player for Linux similiar to Foobar. The only thing Im searching for is the ability to sort media library by folder structure. If you know something that can do the job, let me know... Im also searching for easy, intuitive text editor, like Notepad++. I use it for working in school and i just love the way it handles "tab" spaces, and bullet lists.

Newly installed Debian system from years with Fedora. Ran system update and system got hosed, booted but no Gnome. Got Gnome back after MANY 'aptitude upgrade's. Xemacs disappeared! Along with other things I installed. Tried to install Xemacs but it is broken and will not install, complains about dpkg TOO current(?). So downloaded Xemacs for Xemacs.org and compiled source, installed.
Now when I start Xemacs is does not run in an X window but runs emacs in a terminal window. If I run it from a script, it complains about 'not in tty window'.
My env show:

View 5 Replies View RelatedFirstly, I'll say that I have scanned the internet far and wide and am not looking for the responses that many new linux users with an affinity for notepad++ almost invariably received... "use this linux based INE or this one or download plugins for this other one"... No, sir. I miss notepad++. I moved to linux land, (exiled from windows for having an expired VISA) and I'll do anything to get her to move here with me.
I downloaded the npp.5.8.5.Installer.exe... I have wine installed... I have no idea what directory or where in god's name this .exe exists or if i have to query wine or what.

I've been using BasKet Notepad for about two years now on a Dellbuntu Mini-9. I just installed Mint8 Xfce and finished installing all my preferred apps this morning, including Basket. Unfortunately, when I tried to import my archive from the old system (saved on a thumb), it fails to recognize it as an archive file. At first I thought it might be linked ot its apparent inability to recognize the thumb drive, so I transferred the file to the SSD, extracted it, etc. All the files are there, it seems, but the individual baskets are all saved as .html files. There doesn't seem to be any "archive" as such that I can import.
Now the weird thing is that I've imported the archive before, back into Basket on the dellbuntu version of 8.04, without any problem. What gives? This is my research. For my dissertation. While I'm heartened that it still exists, I am more than a little annoyed at the notion that I might have to cut and paste every damn basket into the system (which I've already done once when I tried to put the notes on my home desktop XP system. I am returning to the field in five weeks and really want these things accessible. Is there any help for this?

I have used a windows text editor (Notepad++) which has set a benchmark for myrequirements. As I tend to use linux most of the time I have been looking for a similar editor for some time. Kate is ticking most boxes. 2 things I can see which I would like if anyone could advise:You can find selected within the current file. IE. highlight a string for searching. I cant see the ability to do the same in all files. Does this exist?In NPP I can search for a string in "all files currently open" within the editor. Does this facility exist in Kate?
