Following the lists of Graphic Designing and Video Editing, here's a list of text editor and IDE for GNU/Linux in AppImage format. They are Geany, Emacs and GVim, Brackets and BlueGriffon, Qt Creator and KDevelop, and more. Most of them are unofficially built by probono (Simon Peter, the father of AppImage technology). To run any app, just mark as executable and double-click the file, very simple. Enjoy!

Did you ever wonder if there is a text editor that can do anything almost like a complete operating system? That text editor is GNU Emacs. Emacs is truly lightweight (console is its default interface), long-living (since 1976; 40 years ago), extensible, advanced, very general purpose, and Emacs makes the user types very fast as an Emacs user ever said "you type on Emacs as fast as you think". As a text editor, Emacs can do any basic text editing, edit source code for any programming language, do multitasking such as writing while compiling, and more. Emacs is highly configurable through its Lisp system and extensible by a huge number of extensions available. Emacs has both console and GUI interfaces, while the user can choose what interface to use at anytime. Emacs official website is http://gnu.org/software/emacs. This article introduces GNU Emacs for complete beginners using Ubuntu operating system. This article flows starting from installing, navigating, windowing, basic multitasking, and basic keystrokes of Emacs.

I will use Kate here, but it is applicable to another text editors available such as Gedit. I will show you some short examples to make it easy. It is not the best, but I hope it gives you global overview of regex in Linux text editors.

Sublime Text 2 is a slick, cool, fast, and sophisticated code editor for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The main binary of Sublime Text is created with C/C++ programming language, so it's good in performance. Today, I'd like to share a post I've found on WebUpd8 blog to you :)
