Sure, you could always do a “save as” and have the old file with the old name and a new file with the new name, but I like to save steps and have the application do it all for me.ĮditPadLite, which isn’t FOSS, has a “Rename/Move” function. It’s easy enough in a Unix-like shell, or in the finder in Windows, OS X or anything else, to change a file name, but I like to be able to change the name of a file right in the text editor. One thing that Geany doesn’t do that I need is an easy way to rename files. If you learn to love a bunch of free applications, why not try the OS that is just as free?Īnyway, I have a lot of requirements for a text editor, as I’m sure do most of us who use them heavily. The apps also showcase free, open-source software for those who are using proprietary operating systems and give them a reason to explore FOSS further, perhaps even trying something like Linux. Things like Firefox, OpenOffice, Abiword, Pidgin, and other too numerous to name make life easier for those of us who use three or more different operating systems. I like applications that I can use across platforms. I’m back using the Geany text editor in Windows.
