Need text editor w/ good custom syntax highlighting. (Dont care what langs come with)

[bdb4269]

Preferably I would like one that also...

"folds" syntax blocks
has syntax layout/summary tree's
has autocomplete/suggest


MOST IMPORTANTLY - If it does not have GOOD(GUI), support for CREATING YOUR OWN syntax highlighting/folding layouts for COMPLEX and extremely rare lang's -- please don't bother suggesting it. There are a kajillion editors that highlight 50-300 lang's -- and I don’t care about any of those langs.

Basically -- the ONLY lang I want to syntax highlight is "CfMC Survent/Mentor" – Now…. I highly doubt it….. but if someone knows a editor that highlights/recognizes "CfMC Survent/Mentor" -- by all means, please let me know, regardless of other features.

BTW – I know this is a linux forum, but I am looking for an editor that runs on WINDOWS preferably. If it runs on linux, and can be run through through a SSH or telnet session, then that’s fine too – but I’m not interested a linux only GUI editor.

Have you tried vim? It does everything you are asking for and you can create your own syntax highlighting layouts, there's a Windows GUI version too

You can also use emacs through SSH but personally I don't like it

If you can do without having a GUI for defining syntax highlighting, SciTE is one option. Highlighting for each language is defined in separate config files; building a config from scratch would take some time, but is doable.

Emacs also works on windows with very little functionality loss, just make sure to take your .emacs with you.
