Equivalent of BBEdit on Linux, Win

Question

Can anyone suggest an equivalent of BBEdit for linux and win in terms or multifile search and replace as well as html cleanup, formatting, etc.?

So far I tried NotePad++ and jEdit with limited luck. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

On *nix, the only real equivalent is Vim, with a host of plugins to fill the gap. I struggled with the same issue and made a git repo that hold the configs that make Vim more BBedit-like.

The README on the repo will tell you more about the plugins involved. A script is provided for installation and config. I am currently reviewing the NERDtree plugin to add doc-browser-like sidebar to the layout.
