A while back I wrote a post about what I think is the best Python code editor but I decided to write an update and write a little more about Komodo Edit…
I use Dreamweaver to write HTML/CSS/JavaScript/PHP code and a few days ago I decided to open Komodo Edit and see how it does with PHP.
I did try other editors for PHP but their support for HTML and CSS was lame and I’m so used to Dreamweaver’s comprehensive code completion features.
Well, I was surprised that Komodo Edit has all those features (& more) and handles PHP/CSS/HTML/JavaScript beatuifully, open a new PHP file and after ?> type:
<a
And then hit space, it will suggest everything Dreamweaver suggests and more! then write:
style=”
And again it will suggest every CSS property, then type:
:
It will suggest all the possible values, more than Dreamweaver…
The other thing is that it will show you function descriptions for all the functions and that could be very handy.
I have to say that I don’t know if I’m going to pay for Dreamweaver ever again and if you are looking for a free and excelent code editor, try Komodo Edit.
I have no affiliation with ActiveState and what I said above is my personal thoughts and ideas and an attempt to show this excellent/free/open-source product to others.
Happy Coding.
