SlickEdit: Code in Over 40 Languages Across 7 Platforms
SlickEdit's unmatched power, speed, and flexibility allows even the most accomplished developers to write better code faster

Power

  • Display symbol details with List Members, function/method argument help, and formatted Javadoc/XMLdoc/Doxygen comments
  • Analyze symbols and hierarchy with a rich set of tools including Symbols, Class, References, and Find Symbol tool windows
  • Check in and check out from version control
  • Diff files and directories
  • Preview the definition for the symbol under the cursor automatically without lifting a finger. The Preview tool window shows the definition and formatted Javadoc/XMLdoc/Doxygen comments.
  • Edit files up to 2 GB

    Speed

  • Navigate your codebase quickly. Context Tagging allows you to drill down from a symbol to its definition, or quickly find all references without searching.
  • Type less with syntax expansion, completions, and code templates.
  • Create custom typing shortcuts with aliases
  • jobs both big and small. Create and manage workspaces and projects, or launch SlickEdit for quick editing tasks in less time than it takes some IDEs to finish loading.

    Flexibility

  • Type the way you want. Complete, highly accurate emulations for 13 editors including CodeWright, Brief, EMACS, and Vim
  • Code in over 40 languages on 7 platforms
  • Record macros to perform common or repetitive tasks
  • Create custom keyboard and mouse bindings
  • Add custom menus and toolbars
  • Create custom macros with a full-featured macro language
