It ended this problem pretty much completely. I appreciate that the curve is huge, but it just keeps paying off with each new language I use, and with the daily light-weight text munging tasks.

When I want that I usually look at IDE's. I use Eclipse for all my Java coding. You just can't beat it's compile-as-you-type setup. I also love it's debugging features. It's fun to stop your code at a breakpoint, and be able to see the contents of each variable. I used Dreamveaver to do that sort of stuff for me in php - but that thing is bloated.

I used it for a year, until I discovered notepad2. It's true that being able to run commands from the editor is a fine thing, but I don't mind alt-tabbing to a dos window. editplus seems interesting. I couldn't figure out how to have text shortcuts like textmate. I want to type table, press TAB, and have the editor expand table to a bare bones table tag, like the one on the screen shot, or in java type "class" and have the skeleton of a class. that sort of thing. I'll add these two to the list, thanks! textpad I had used, but forgot to mention. I used it for a year, until I discovered notepad2.

For example, TextPad lets you define shortcuts that will trigger arbitrary command - so for example you can set up Ctrl+1 to compile current code, Ctrl+2 to run it, and etc... Vi and Emacs are still the best ;) Have you tried:
