<body class='hmmessage'>Does anyone know of an IDE or editor on Linux or Mac OS X<BR>with a find-in-files feature anywhere nearly as good<BR>as Visual C++ 5.0?<BR>
<BR>I have tried a bunch and they have all been disappointing.<BR>
It is very frustrating.<BR>
<BR>Monodevelop comes close, but it won't open .m3 files as text.<BR>
<BR>KDevelop -- can't navigate the results with the keyboard.<BR> I would prefer file path on every line, but ok I guess.<BR>
<BR>X Code -- no find-in-files feature at all that I could find!<BR>
<BR>NetBeans -- I forget, will have to try again, but I believe I was disappointed.<BR>
<BR>Eclipse -- ditto<BR>
<BR>Komodo -- promising, will have to try some more<BR> I think maybe only forward nav through results, but ok<BR> will have to see what the cost is <BR>
<BR>JEdit -- I think it was this one, showed no results<BR> until done. Results should appear as they are found.<BR>
<BR>Mac TextWrangler -- way too hard to specify directories to search in<BR> as I recall, I forget if has keyboard nav.<BR>
<BR>
MPW -- never seemed much good at all, despite avid following;<BR>
doesn't run on current processors or operating systems, but it<BR>
still works on mine<BR>
<BR> <BR>
I'll have to again try:<BR> NetBeans, Eclipse, Komodo, CodeWarrior, SlickEdit, search for other commercial ones.<BR>
Though commercial ones won't tend to run on PPC_LINUX.<BR>
<BR>vi and emacs are not under consideration.<BR>I have tried them each many times and they are always<BR>very disappointing.<BR>
<BR>A really good file.open dialog would be nice too.<BR>
<BR>KDevelop is annoying in that it often beeps an error if <BR>I type a directory -- to go to it. It is case sensitive.<BR>
<BR>All the file.open dialogs I have seen on the Mac stink.<BR>
<BR>What do people use to actually be productive?<BR>Everything I've tried hasn't come close to Visual C++ 5.0.<BR>
