I'm looking for text editor that run natively on linux which support multi-line tabbar and don't truncate long file names. I'm usually using Notepad++ in Windows.
Here is a screenshot of what I would like (using notepad++):
Please give me recommendation. Thank you.
The top 3 seem to be the following:
sublime, I guy I work with loves this one and it is cross os compatible.
geany, great for if you do programming and are a GTK2 fan.
kate, KDE editor with LOTS of options
vim, what most will tell you to use....
Additionally you can install Notepad++ through Wine, if you just cant live without it. :)
You can do this with atom. It's highly configurable through CSS and even is cross-platform.

I have been using scratch-text-editor on elementaryOS, but it seems to highlight Genie code as if it is C# code.
Is there a way to improve syntax highlighting in that particular OS.
Does any text editor can recognize genie's syntax?
GEANY is an open-source, lightweight and fast text editor, providing the main features of an IDE, including syntax-highlighting, with support for Genie.
The following article has installation instructions and also mentions that Geany should work fine with elementaryOS.

Many IDEs have functionality that allow you to understand code by "stepping" into function calls to look at the definition, and what the function actually does. It might also allow you to look at the values of defines (in C) and maybe color code blocks of code with a different background color if they are not built during compile time.
Is there any plugin that would allow VIM to be used this way?
Actually, what you ask for is an IDE.
But VIM is more an editor than an integrated development environment.
You can config VIM to act like an IDE:
Use ctags for function/variable definition jumping.
Use tpope/unimpaired for showing errors.
You should keep in mind that VIM is for editing.
Wish you good luck.

Sorry for the extremely bad title. What I'm looking for is the notepad++ feature where I can highlight words on right clicking and choosing one of the 5 styles (so that all instances of that word get highlighted with that color), in some editor in linux (Red hat). I know this might be a stupid request, but I find that it helps me in understanding new code.
Thanks
SciTE can do this. After you install it, create a script named SciTEStartup.lua in your home directory and add the following line in your ~/.SciTEUser.properties file:
ext.lua.startup.script=$(SciteUserHome)/SciTEStartup.lua
After that you can install this script as described and see all occurrences of a word using Ctrl+. (Ctrl+, to clear).
The default editor Gedit does this with an additional plug-in installed from here: https://github.com/mmuell23/mmuell23

I used the EDT editor on VMS very long time ago. Is there modern implementation of this excellent text editor available? If so, are there source codes? Maybe it is circumvented by Emacs and Vim?
Thank you
You might want to chase down SEDT (See link). I remember this one from MS-DOS days. I don't know if anyone has reimplemented it for windows.
http://www.atl.lmco.com/projects/csim/gui/edt/
According to the web archive, this is now at
http://edt-text-editor.sourceforge.net/
There is also an OpenVMS plugin for Netbeans which adds the EDT keypad to the Netbeans editor - gives the best of both worlds.
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/ips/netbeans/distnb.html
Only problem is that it is for older versions of Netbeans.
You can try GNU Emacs EDT-mode:https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/edt.html

Do you remember those Magic Eye images that contain a 3D object? I love them!
Are there any open source programs for generating Magic Eye pictures, which ideally work on Linux.
I found a Gimp plugin, but haven't managed to get it working yet.
There's a package in Ubuntu for a program called Stereograph. It's website is here:
http://stereograph.sourceforge.net/index.html
Here's a tutorial on how to make them using GIMP, Blender and Stereograph:
http://linuxgazette.net/104/kapil.html
It's pretty basic, but you should try openstereogram, it's OS independent:
http://code.google.com/p/openstereogram/
There's also this JavaScript app:
