nano does support syntax highlighting,autoindent,multi-buffered editing,and other useful stuff,you have to enable this features when you compile it.

Try this command:
":set mouse=a"

I don''t use vi/vim for coding...
doesn''t code easy & can''t concentrate when I''ve to write ":write,:insert" all the time...

Holy crap! I didn''t know you were even allowed to use the long form!

Word for the wise.. ":w" and "i" do the same thing. Ya see? if you invest in a bit of time to learn the tools, you dramatically improve efficiency.

Don''t listen to me. I''ve had too much coffee.

I never could get the set mouse=a thing to work. Don''t know why though. Whether I''m doing it on Eterm or another console, or simple in one of my tty''s, it doesn''t seem to work (and yes, GPM is enabled in the tty).

Speaking of RHIDE, try xwpe.

It has the wonderful text mode Borland interface (apparently, I've never used it though), and it is for unix I believe. It could or maybe already has been ported to linux.

hmmm I found something like ms visual c++...
It''s called anjuta (http://anjuta.sf.net)

I don''t want to sound like a zealot but I thought I''d point out the strengths of ViM. The power of ViM comes from not having to use the mouse at all to navigate. In fact, if you can learn to use "w, b, h, j, k, l, etc." you''ll never even have to use the arrow keys. This can really speed up your coding as well as hand straing from reaching for keys.

Vim''s command mode allows you to jump around the text on your screen easily by skipping words and lines as well as jumping to beginnings and ends of lines. There are great navigation keys for everything that aren''t outside of the main key panel.

Visual mode is good for selecting bits of text to yank, copy, and cut as well. Type "v" to get into visual mode from command mode and then use the navigation keys to select the text you want. Once the desired text is highlighted you can hit "y" to make a copy or you can hit "d" to delete the highlighted text.

Yeah, but there are times when if you could just use the mouse, things could be made easier. For example, if you want to move the cursor to the middle of a line that you''re not currently on, clicking the mouse once sure as hell beats hitting a bunch of keys to get there. Of course, until I can figure out how to get the mouse working, this is irrelevant

One reason I don''t like Anjuta too much is that you can''t create an empy project. IMO it would be excellent if it did. It''s annoying to create a console project and have a million files created for you. :/
