Minimum Profit Description

Minimum Profit is a programmer's text editor. Minimum Profit is a FREE text editor for programmers.If you are reading this (you are), you probably know what a text editor is and thus I won't explain what 'open file', 'search and replace', 'tab size' and things like those, means. Only the special or not-so-intuitive features will be explained. In any other aspect, mp is just likethe text editor you were using until today, before you've found this unknown jewel that will change your life.Much of Minimum Profit's behaviour is changeable from a configuration file, as key bindings, colors, the menu and other variables. Take a look at mprc.sample for details. The configuration files for Unix systems are /etc/mprc and $HOME/.mprc (see below to know how to set it in Win32).Minimum Profit includes several interfaces:· curses: the good old text interface. You need any Unix (Linux, Solaris, IRIX, any BSD...) and the curses or ncurses library. It was also sucessfully compiled under BeOS (with a locally compiled ncurses) many years ago.· GTK: You need any X11 system with the GTK+ libraries installed. Support for GTK versions 1.2 and 2.0 is provided.· Win32: You need Microsoft Windows 95 or later and the lccwin32 compiler.InstallationTo compile under any Unix flavour, just run $ ./config.sh $ makeThe first step should automatically detect all usable interfaces andadditional libraries and leave a Makefile behind. Previous Minimum Profitversions used to need GNU Make; this is no longer true. By running $ ./config.sh --helpyou can see a list of tweakable options. Also, a bunch of README.* files areincluded with Minimum Profit's standard distribution with informationspecific to many systems and cross-compilers. Notoriously, if you havethe mingw32 cross-compiler suite in your Unix system, you can build anMS Windows binary pretty easily (README.mingw32).To install just run (as root): # make installand it will be instaled in /usr/local/bin. You can select an alternateinstallation directory in the configuration phase; for example, to installit on /usr/bin, do $ ./config.sh --prefix=/usr/bin Here are some key features of "Minimum Profit": · Multiple files can be edited at the same time and blocks copied and pasted among them. · Syntax highlighting for many popular languages / file formats: C, C++, Perl, Shell Scripts, Ruby, Php, SQL, Python, HTML... · Creative use of tags: tags created by the external utility ctags are used to move instantaneously to functions or variables inside your current source tree. Tags are visually highlighted (underlined), and symbol completion can be triggered to avoid typing your own function names over and over. · Intelligent help system: pressing F1 over any word of a text being edited triggers the underlying system help (calling man when editing C or Shell files, perldoc with Perl, ri on Ruby, winhelp on MS Windows...). · Understandable interface: drop-down menus, reasonable default key bindings. · Configurable keys, menus and colors. · Text templates can be easily defined / accessed. · Multiplatform: Console/curses, GTK+ (1.2 and 2.0), MS Windows. · Automatic indentation, word wrapping, internal grep, learning / repeating functions. · Search and replace using plain text or regular expressions (including a special function to replace text on all open files). · Small memory footprint. · Multilingual. · Password-protected, encrypted text files (using the ARCFOUR algorithm). · It helps you abandon vi, emacs and other six-legged freaks definitely. · Awesome easter egg. What's New in This Release: · This release features a new Qt4 driver, a new hexadecimal viewer, dropping from system UI windows, improved charset detection, and some clipboard and platform-specific fixes.
