MonkeyFish

MonkeyFish is an editing environment oriented toward programmers and programming. It uses wxWidgets for a cross-platform GUI, Scintilla for the editing environment and Lua for scripting. MonkeyFish is not an IDE. In fact, nothing is integrated. It's actually more of an unintegrated development enviroment. It is/offers:

  • Cross-platform consistency for Linux/GTK, OS/X and Windows.
  • A familiar editing environment with syntax highlighting, bookmarks, etc.
  • A disk view for file access, copy, move, delete, etc.
  • A project tree for managing sources.
  • A method to hook outboard tools into the environment for easy access.
  • A basic optional sub-set of emacs key bindings.
  • A scripting toolkit for customization, macros, templates, tools, etc.

Check out the user documentation if you want to know more.
