OSX here, trying to fully working in Sublime Text 2. But sometimes I end up working in Fraise 'cause of nice search/replace there and more acessible function list.

Notepad++ is also a nice program at least for html/css use. I'm afraid that is very Win dependent to compile successfully in other OS's. Besides WINE (or Wine Bottles), probably the only other good way to use it is install VirtualBox, Win and use seamless mode.

A sticky Editor thread with each OS editors alternatives for new comers would be nice.

Try cmd+r in Sublime (ctrl+r for Windows/Linuxers) to jump through functions in a file.

Thank you thelinx, but isn't really for don't know how to call it (although my mind is allready overloaded of shortcuts). I prefer the function list in Fraise because it's more mindless click and forget since it have a dedicated button. And also it gives line number and selection list is larger and I don't have to scroll up/down so much as in ST2. So, even spite I like working in ST2 I end up working some time in Fraise when I need to jump very often between places or replace things.

Thanks everyone for responding,

I've tried Sublime Text, it's a really nice soft, anyone know if he can show parameters when you call a function ?
Sorry about my English, I'm French.

SciTE. You can just edit with highlights and press F5 to execute with love. Didn't get that to work on other editors.

Did you try N++? I've never had any problems with the "Run in Love" functionality.

I use N++ and the command line to test my games instead of from within the editor. It's just my most comfortable way of doing things.

I use emacs, the yasnipet extension customised for programming in lua with love.
It works like a charm. I compile and run my code by pressing F8 and going through the errors by pressing F7.
To type "module(..., package.seeall);", I only type "module" then TAB.

I love working with emacs, but I pretty sure the learning curve (who said wall), does not have to be.
I'd love to work on a beginner-friendly version of emacs.

I've also been using SciTE, just because jEDIT seeemed confusing and heavy and SciTE is came in the software center, I had no idea you could make it run with F5 that way, and I feel slightly foolish now.

What I've been doing is using F12 to open a guake terminal and running the program from there.
