Subethaedit review4/20/2023 ![]() ![]() “Are they doing work for you or something? Because the Coding Monkeys have a student ADC account, and it’s not possible for them to have a hardware discounts and we’re going to transfer those back to you.”īusiness Coda History Mac Mac App macOS 10. I said that I didn’t need that many and gave a couple of discounts to them. “What the heck are you doing?” they asked. Then a few days later I got a call for ADC. So I sent a couple of the hardware discounts to the folks at Rogue Amoeba (makers of Audio Hijack) and the folks at the Coding Monkeys (who made SubEthaEdit). We still maintained it and brought it up to the App Store eventually, but sadly it couldn’t prove its financial viability. The success of Carcassonne also had a somewhat unfortunate side effect for us: With still no real viable long term business story for SubEthaEdit it moved more and more on the back burner. And that influx of financial support was what enabled us to become a real working company. The great folks at Panic were planning their then secret Coda, and were looking for something they could base their editing engine on. ![]() Marketing wise we shoehorned ourselves into the collaborative aspects, and failed to communicate the fact that SubEthaEdit was a great general purpose text editor of its own right. The complete source code with history going back 15 years is also available under the MIT License. skEdit is still the right tool for me, but I’ll keep an eye on Textmate.The new version 5 of SubEthaEdit, the Apple Design Award winning text editor for macOS, is now available free of charge in the App Store and as direct download. So will it replace skEdit as my main development tool? No, but, I get the impression that Textmate is aimed at serious programmers, people who deal with ruby/perl and the like, not those like me who just want to bash out HTML and CSS. It should either preview them or not display anything at all. Images aren’t previewed when selecting them in the project view, but you get garbled code instead.The powerful plain text and source editor thats native. BBEdit, SubEthaEdit and skEdit all provide a single menu for jumping to a particular tag or css rule. SubEthaEdit kickstarted collaborative editing with its easy and immediate way to connect and edit. It speeds up coding so much, I’m not sure I could go back to not using it. Code hinting was the thing that turned me onto skEdit.I prefer setting key combos to trigger my snippets.įeatures I missed from other Text Editors (with the proviso that I may have missed these somehere): I didn’t find the snippets function as easy to use as skEdit. ![]() If this is case, the font panel should be removed. Apparently, support for non fixed-width fonts is not planned in the future either. I’m one of those bad people who like to code in Lucida Grande, and it looked awful. Fonts: Despite the fact that a standard system font panel is included as a menu item, only fixed width fonts are supported.The first thing I do when first open any new app is look though the preferences and see what’s available. Settings are meant to stick, but thats not a behaviour I’m comfortable with. Preferences: Or rather the lack of them. ![]()
