Crossover
There’s something about Editplus that just clicks with me, which is why I find it so difficult to use anything else. Even Smultron which pretty much does everything I’d want a text editor to do is just difficult to adapt to. It does the same things, it’s just… different.
Well there’s just been a release of Codeweavers Crossover for Mac OS X, which allows you to run Windows applications without loading up a virtualisation system like Parallels or rebooting like Boot Camp. So what was a boy to do? Try out Editplus of course.
It’s almost perfect. There was a problem with font selection that I did manage to fix in the end, but what keeps it from being truly usable is that holding down shift and then trying to use the arrow keys to select text actually prints funny characters on the screen instead. I’m not sure if this is down to some sort of odd keymapping bug or something confined to Editplus, but it’s a shame to have an otherwise perfect solution ruined by something so minor.
Still sticking to Windows for now then.
