Q
What is the best way to print highlighted text as it appears in NEdit on the printer?
A
In the current version, that's not possible, but there are external tools for highlighting, which are specifically designed for printing, including a2ps, enscript, and genscript.
Q
Why NEdit does not support drag and drop?
A
NEdit no longer uses the Motif text widget, so all of the functionality had to be duplicated in the new widget. Drag and drop between windows got left off due to the time pressure of getting out the new release, but it will be back someday.
Q
What is the alternative for NEdit?
A
The alternative for NEdit is vim
sublime
gedit, etc
sublime
gedit, etc
