JERED :

• JERED is a multifile text mode programming editor for *nix systems.
• JERED, while being particularly easy to use, is also very powerful, some of its features are :
  • It is EASY TO LEARN AND TO USE
  • You can edit several files at a time, switching from one to another with a single key
  • Infos on the files being edited are always on the screen
  • The user interface is easily configurable (colors, help, etc...)
  • The C and C++ language syntax is highlighted
  • Five languages are supported for the user interface :
    • English
    • French
    • Spanish
    • Finnish
    • Russian
  • You can record and play macros
  • You can edit macros because they are text files too
  • Most of the actions are available through an unique key
  • All the keys are remappable to anything (text, actions, macros)
  • The help is dynamically generated according to the key mappings
  • Automatic save of modified files is available and configurable
  • You can choose a locking method for our opened files
  • Backup copies of saved files can be made
  • Automatic programmers' help browsing in man or info which are both available from a single keystroke
  • Dynamic screen size recognition (xterm ...)
• JERED is currently not modified very often, because it serves all my needs perfectly. I use it every day, all day long, since its birth in 1994, for programming or system administration, and I've never lost my work
