G’day all,
Now that I finally have myself set up to be able to view, edit and
test the gnucash sources, I have come across the limitation of using
text editors (using nano at the moment...) to code. Can anyone
recommend a good program for doing coding for Gnucash? I’m mainly
looking at the C side of things rather than guile, but a program
that can do multiple types of code would be useful. Preferably ones
that are supported on both windows and linux.
Cheers,

Well during several decades writing software for a living, I wrote* a
few hundred thousand lines of code without a language sensitive
editor. But since these are now readily available, I strongly
recommend you use one. In any 'nix operating system this is no
problem at all, since the standard library of utilities will give you
a choice of them.
Under Windows you probably have a choice of at least some of these.
Many decades back a friend sent me a copy of xemacs for Windows, so I
know that one existed at least that far back << I was using it just
to be able to do LISP under Windows >>

* I don't mean I entered that many keystroke by keystroke! Folks who
are experienced at the trade usually know where to find "useful
chunks" and have decent personal libraries from which chunks perhaps
as big as hundreds of lines can be grabbed and used with just a few
key changes.
