I've always used Crimson Editor in the past, it nearlly does everything I want to, and nothing I don't want it to (no bloat) but there is one more feature I want but Crimson Editor doesn't offer it. Basically I want to be able to collapse my functions and switch statements. Eg;
If I had;
function cheese($var){
if($var == 'cheddar'){
echo 'Boring';
}elseif
// Insert loads and loads of elseifs for loads of different cheeses
}
For example. I would finish making that function, then I'd want to hide it. Like, have a little button next to the word "function" that when clicked, would hide everything up to the final } of the function, until the button is clicked again and everything comes back.
In linux I did have an editor that did that, Kate I think it was. But I can't find one for Windows.
So here's my question; Does anyone know of a text editor (no WYSIWYG stuff) that does the following:
PHP Syntax highlighting/colouring
Highlight opening and closing brackets
Tabbed interface - so I can edit more than one file at a time with just one window open.
Collapsable functions and switch statements - Like I described up there ^^
For Windows. Preferably for Windows & Linux, but just Windows will be OK.
Edit:
And an option to show line numbers. As fundamental as that sounds, you'd be suprised how many editors I've gotten through today that don't have an option anywhere to show line numbers.
