DESCRIPTION

SubEthaEdit... Wouldn't it be great to edit the same document, live, in realtime, together with everyone in your group? With SubEthaEdit you can. The idea of collaborative editing has been researched for years, with notable results. But now for the first time it has been implemented in a way you actually want to use: While doing complex calculations under the hood to ensure correct behavior with mulitple users, to you SubEthaEdit is just as easy to use as a traditional text editor.

SubEthaEdit is a powerful and lean text editor. And it's the only collaborative one you can actually use. By combining the ease of Bonjour with the world's best text collaboration engine, it makes working together not only possible but even fun.

RICHARD TAYTOR  Something is wrong with version three. To be more precise: it's footprint on system resources has increased tremendously; while editing it also frequently freezes for short intervals (a second or two). Version two works well for me.  (Version 3.0.1)

ROBACKJA  The tabs are an awesome new addition. The only remaining issue I have with SubEthaEdit is no HEREDOC string syntax support. The funny thing was, when I opened a bug on their site about it, they closed it stating, "HEREDOC not supported", like it wasn't part of the language, e.g. PHP, perl, etc.

HEREDOC strings look like this (example in php):

$var = <<

very large string

many lines long

etc, etc, etc.

EOT;  (Version 2.6)

COMPUTERNAUT  I completely adore this program!

I have but a few a feature requests:

- Transparent windows!!

- Ability to adopt collaborator's .see-styles for the specific document type you are working in.

- Snapping to screen/window borders for the 'mini windows' (Bonjour, Internet).  (Version 2.5.1)

NCIANCA  I needed to do some collaborative editing with some other users and am very surprised that SubEthaEdit has no support for working with either an sftp or webdav server.

Seems that SubEthaEdit is "collaborative" only when you are working on a local document and the other user can actually reach your machine (which won't happen behind most corporate firewalls).

This potentially useful tool has boxed itself into a small environment. Please add support for working with documents stored on a server using sftp or webdav.  (Version 2.5)
