Palm text editors

23 January, 2007

CardTXT is a great text editor. It’s not quite the luxury I’m used to as a SubEthaEdit and Eclipse, but CardTXT is a neat little text editor for the Palm platform. I use it for writing blog posts, dissertations, HTML, XML and Notation3.

SiEd is the alternative to CardTXT, but it doesn’t support Palm widescreen laptop, and you can’t get rid of the keyboard entry panel which makes it a bit of an arse to use with the keyboard. SiEd also hard breaks at the end of lines while CardTXT follows expected behaviour and soft breaks. If you want a hard break, you can push ‘enter’.
