SciTE customization made easy

[xtort]

Customizing SciTE can be a tedious, offputting task at first -- finding
one's way around the SciTEGlobal.properties file, while reading the
documentation.
I made an extensive one which turns the UI into the tabbed one in one
of the screenshots below. Plus, this custom SciTEGlobal.properties file
has some external tool configurations added too, which may help
somebody trying to figure this out:

Perhaps some of this editor's best features are its export functions.
It exports text to pdf, rtf, xml, and xhtml compliant foldable output.
Not bad for such a small, extendable file.


SciTE (Scintilla Editor) is a light and powerful text editor available
for Intel Win32 and Linux compatible operating systems with GTK+. This
useful editor includes support for syntax styling, error indicators,
code completion and call tips

Thanks in advance, will check it out.

One feature it has that I really adore is the folding.

I don't know if you have seen this, but if you have Word 97 or higher
and WSH, you can add spelling and grammar checking. Note that I am
currently using the 1.60 version of SciTE.

And if you have Aspell -
Example:
command.name.1.*=Aspell
# Change path appropriately...
command.1.*="E:\Program Files\Aspell\bin\aspell.exe" -c
$(FileDir)\$(FileNameExt)
command.subsystem.1.*=2

That is a good idea -- using Aspell. It is indispensible as a
spellchecker. I dont know if I would ever us SciTE as my main editor,
but it does a few things really well, like the html export for eg. Good
too for somebody looking for a USB app.
