DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Scite replacement

Leafpad will seem familiar to Microsoft users as it's a notepad clone. At 60K Leafpad is just over 750K smaller than Scite and performs admirably as a basic gui text editor. It's only requirements are basic gtk and glib. Oh, and Leafpad remebers you word wrap choice with a simple mouse click. Even after editing the global options for Scite, I can't get it to open up documents with the word wrap turned on. Leafpad makes this a no-brainer.

Don't have DSL booted at the moment, but I remember recently trying to track down why word-wrap wouldn't be remembered under Scite (actually, I quite like scite, good for html editing...)
I think you need to manually edit something in the .scite dir under home/damnsmall, I think the line for word-wrap was commented out...

Good catch.
I find I've been using scite as a notepad only, lots of cutting & pasting, which is ridiculous given the programming support it has.
Wordwrap for scite is two thirds down the global properties thingy

Unfortunately, it's a GTK+2 based app, making it unsuitable for DSL. Lots of people would probably disagree with removing Scite anyway - for all those that use it as merely a Notepad-clone, there's going to be lots more who use it for programming tasks and need features such as colour-coding.

Ok had time to check.
For word wrap edit
