Inspired by this thread i played the last few hours with several editors.
Lowend so to speak (not the zend and other expensive editors):
www.Crimsoneditor.com is cool and fast.
but the award goes to editplus for the cliptext option (dont know if ill actually end up using it but still).
Downsides to these editors: loading time which is better for crimson.
Im used to opening a directory local with my ftp app and hit "view" which launches notepad and i do the editting -> save -> hit enter (upload) -> close notepad.
These editors take a second to load which might get annoying so i have to get used
to opening the editor and use the tabs to manage the php files instead of closing them each time. Hope that makes sense.
Also like the upload features both editors offer but i think it could have been implemented more efficient.
If it wasnt for the cliptext id go with Crimson!
Edit:
Also the php CTL file which must be downloaded seperatly doesnt seem really helpful. Looking a function up takes just as much time as typing it if you know these things by heart like i do.
But i have my own routines which i currently reuse from copying them from a buig textfile so this might be convenient. Well see.
