Do you know of a usable text editor with monospace font and support for macros?
On Windows, I used to use notepad++ which was great. It's Linux equivalent nqq doesn't have macro support.
I tried installing this plugin to Gedit, but it doesn't seem to work.
Running notepad++ under Wine doesn't work for me either, because in this case, the editor font is not monospaced for some reason.
Have a look at geany, that you can install from the repository universe
sudo apt update
sudo apt install geany
You find information about macros for geany by searching the internet for geany macro.
Try:
I also had trouble getting the macro plugin to work with gedit. I haven't given up yet, but it was taking too long to be worth it today.
These are pretty useful.
If you are looking for an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), then you have other choices.
Write back and tell us what kind of editing you'll need to do.
Jesus, I am writing my answere again. This AskUbuntu form is not working correctly. Please, tell the developers.
Sublime in my opinion is the best. You don't have to install any extra lib or package or plugin or module or etc.
