Frequently asked questions ( 5 )

Q

What is NEdit or Nirvana edito?

A

NEdit, the Nirvana editor, is a text editor and source code editor for the X Window System. It has an interface similar to text editors on Microsoft Windows and Macintosh, rather than to older UNIX editors like Emacs.

Q

What is the alternative for NEdit?

A

The alternative for NEdit is vim
sublime
gedit, etc

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 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

Does NEdit get errors when it starts up?

A

The solution is either to start Netscape last, after all, other applications that you might want to run, or better, tell Netscape how many colors it is allowed to allocate.
Fortunately, you can do this with a resource setting.
