Can anyone tell me a better and free alternative to sumblime text editor? - text-editor

I am using sublime text editor for last few months...Recently I have decided to create a video tutorial...but the message that sublime shows (it is unregistered) is annoying...So can anyone tell me an alternative that works exactly like sublime (something that can ease your life while working on some project)...

Depending on what kind of code you're working with, you can give Netbeans or Brackets a try too

Awesome WM help popup messed up (possible soluction with new function)

NOTE: I just started to use awesome not very long ago, and don't really know the lua programming language.
I cloned HikariKnight's awesome theme and started to customize the hotkeys. I have a logitech keyboard that has some launcher keys that will open you default apps (on windows that is). I wanted to make them open the default apps here, so I edited the config. Now the help menu has the name of some of the keys repeated over and over for no apparent reason.
If anyone could help me fix this that would be awesome.
Possible Solution(?)
I might be able to use the new function to use the hide_without_description option. This wouldn't be ideal though as it would just remove the hotkey from the help menu.
I found the documentation for it here, but don't know how to use the new function.

To quote PlatformKnuckles:
I think I see the problem. Check the line in the keybindings file:
for i = 1, 9 do
You're starting the keybindings in a loop multiple times.
(I didn't look at your rc.lua at all. I just assume the answer above is correct.)

Is there some form of auto indentation mode in OpenModelica OMEdit?

I'm new to OpenModelica. I'm an experienced programmer (C++ and Octave) and I tried to use OMShell but it is quite hard to me, because I find that it gives very little feedback when errors are produced. So I switched to the GUI version (OMEdit). I can't find an auto-indentation feature, i.e. I would like to select all or part of the code and have the editor to reformat the code for me, like the TAB key en Emacs. Is there something like that?
TIA, Mario
No, OMEdit doesn't have any auto formatter.

How to display a text file (.txt) as a code file with color in Sublime Text 3

I'm using sublime text 3. And I want to display a text with color like a code file in Sublime. But I don't know how to do. Please help me!.
Thanks you!
You can manually set the syntax of any file using the Command Palette and type "Set Syntax: " or from the bottom right dialog (by default it reads "Plain Text").
If you want Sublime Text to remember your choice, you can also do that from the syntax selection dialog mentioned above, or View > Syntax > Open all with current extension as…".
I think if you need your text file for purposes like note taking, there is a nice hack.
Go to View > Syntax and then select haskell. Haskell syntax highlighting is subtle and works fine. To highlight something just capitalise the first letter and it pops in a different colour. Numbers are highlighted in a different colour again, increasing readability. Finally brackets commas etc have different colour which further helps.
Well, coloring is based on the syntax, like every programming language has its syntax, but the pure text file is hard to detect the syntax since it can be anything. So if you use the Sublime to coding,try save it as a file with file extension first, then the Sublime will detect by itself, however you could also do this manually.
The ability to create your own syntax highlighting rules is one of the excellent features of SublimeText.
Have a look here at some other people wanting to build their own syntax highlighting rules:
How to not highlight object keys such as 'do'/'package' as keywords in Sublime?
Sublime Text - C++ Highlight
That explains the basic tools you need to use to do what you want to do.
Following the same ideas there you can build a syntax highlighting scheme for whatever it is you want to achieve in your text file based on whatever syntax rules you are trying to follow. Hard to imagine what those are for a text file without you supplying exact details but if you want to do it Sublime Text gives you the power to do it.
If you give that a try and have trouble with developing the relevant Regular Expression/s to do what you want to do then post what you have done and how it is not working the way you hoped and perhaps we can help you get to the end of the game.

Sublime Text 2 split active screen like dreamweaver

At work, I have to jump into old mysql_query procedural website build higgledy-piggledy (some var are camelCased AND underscored, no indent code, page are build in table ...)
Anyway, usually I m using ST2, but here I can't. So to search my line code, I use dreamweaver to click on the screen preview and the cursor drop on the code line I want.
I do not like and I don't know dreamweaver. But as code is UNREADABLE, that is the only way I have to work.(My boss doesn't want rebuild theses sites).
Here is my question, does anybody know for ST2 a way (or a plugin) to split screen and click on screen preview to go right to the code line just like dreamweaver preview does ?
Regards.
Answer is simple, you will never find something like that.
Try here - http://webdesign.about.com/od/windowshtmleditors/tp/windows-wysiwyg-editors.htm
WYSWIG html editors.
Try Sublime CodeIntel, as well says this page:
...This plugin brings a little of IDE functionality into ST2. This plugin reads all your code and is able to code-complete, jump into
definitions and function call tooltips. Although sometimes looks a
little buggy, it’s still worth having it around. It’s a huge time
saver, especially when you are dealing with other’s people code.
If is suitable for that project you can remove the package later.

Browser based Code Editor, with real tabbing?

I'm currently using CodeMirror as a browser based code editor, but what really annoys me is its lack of real tabbing. It uses spaces instead of tabs, and I just cant get my code as clean as desktop editor.
Are there any better editors out there? It can be DOM based or Javascript or even browser specific, just as long as it gives me real tabs! :)
PS. I've had a look at Ace, which looks like it should do the job, but I cant seem to get real tabs to work - anyone tried it?
Cheers,
Chris.
