What text editor for Windows or Linux supports Objective-C syntax?

Question

This question might look like a duplicate, but it is not.

I am not looking for a full IDE to program iPhone apps on; I am looking for a text editor for Windows or Linux that recognizes Objective-C syntax. I know NotePad++ does, but it really is painful...

What I need is an editor that

1. auto-completes braces (not possible with NotePad++)
2. automatically inserts a new line at the end of the file (not possible with NotePad++)
3. highlights syntax (possible with NotePad++)
4. auto-completes directives, class names, and/or method names (not possible with NotePad++)

Thanks.

Answer 1

The Zeus editor does auto bracing and has configurable syntax highlighting.

It also integrates with ctags to do it's class browsing and code complete.

And since it is scriptable, it should also be possible to write a script to automatically add a line to the end of the file.

Why the Notepad++ hate? I use NP++ when I am forced to be using a Windows box.

I always use VIM for everything I code not on Windows though.

emacs FTW!

emacs has an excellent objective-c-mode, can be customized about umpteen bazillion ways, and can be configured to do auto-completion out the wazoo.

I used emacs as my IDE for over a decade on Windows, Linux and predecessors to Mac OS X during the periods of time when Project Builder (Xcode's long gone predecessor) were unusable.

The learning curve is fairly steep, but emacs is truly an astonishingly powerful editor.
