    <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>
      <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 class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.liclipse.com/">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.

            &gt; Hi Chirp-Devel,<br>
            &gt;<br>
            &gt; I have been working on putting together another
            computer to do CHIRP<br>
            &gt; development on. On my old CHIRP development computer,
            Windows 7 Home<br>
            &gt; 64-bit, I have been using the ConTEXT Programmer's
            Editor as my main<br>
            &gt; editor. I really like ConTEXT but it has been out of
            development for<br>
            &gt; over 10 years. Also after using its file compare
            feature, it can crash<br>
            &gt; at any time losing any work that was done since the
            last save. A bug<br>
            &gt; that will obviously not get fixed.<br>
            &gt;<br>
            &gt; I figure now is as good a time as any to find a
            different programmer's<br>
            &gt; code editor to replace ConTEXT. I've been doing some
            googling to see<br>
            &gt; if I can come up with something that is cross-platform
            (at least<br>
            &gt; Windows and Linux) that I like. However, as I am
            looking, it occurred<br>
            &gt; to me that I sould ask the group's members "what editor
            they are you<br>
            &gt; using?" or "what editor do you recommend?"<br>
            &gt;<br>
            &gt; Thanks in advance,<br>
