Word Pad and NotePad for Windows and SimpleText and TextEdit for the Mac are common text editors. What is simple text editor?Ī text editor is any word processing program that you can use to type and edit text. The Eclipse package that one can download for Linux functions just fine on Linux. If you don’t like (or don’t have) Nano, you can also use Vi (or Vim, depending on the system) to edit text files.
Nearly all Linux systems come preinstalled with Nano, a straight-forward, easy-to-use text editor. I think it is suitable for all users, especially if you’re a fan of Notepad++ as it can also be used as a text editor. While primarily a text editor for programmers, Geany is still by all means a text editor.
Geany is a GTK based application and supports Windows, Linux, macOS and many BSDs.
