Finally, I’ve found the text editor that fits exactly to me, highly-customizable, feature-rich and fast-launching. It’s called ‘SciTE‘. Because the command is not so comfortable to type, I created two symbolic links after uninstalling gedit.

$ ln -s /usr/bin/scite notepad
$ ln -s /usr/bin/scite gedit

The following is my ~/.SciTEUser.properties:

Please note that I chose Liberation Mono as the default font. You might want to use other alternatives like DejaVu Sans Mono, Monaco, and Consolas.
