<font size="-1">Well, both Notepad++ and Visual Studio (which I both
like) are Windows only. Like Jim, I wanted to have something which
works on both Windows and Unix.<br>

I started experimenting with LiClipse and made a first version of
Chirp work under Linux Mint 19 - very nice, it allows you to
cross-search all files and to start Chirp from within the Eclipse
IDE. So far I like it: having a whole development environment
which automatically deals with all involved files and not just an
editor definitely makes the work easier. <a href="https://www.liclipse.com/" target="_blank">https://www.liclipse.com/</a><br>
<br>
Downside is that LiClipse isn't free software, it costs $80, and
major upgrades aren't free either (I </font><font size="-1"><font size="-1">will decide soon whether I'll</font> buy it or not).
If you don't want to do that, try PyDev, which essentially is the
same thing: it's an add-on to Eclipse, and it's free (it could use
donations) - but the setup might be a pain in the back.
