With apologies, I am reposting "editor for C". Most of my text, all but the last line, was lost due to my unfamiliarity with the editor on the system I use for rn (not my normal machine). I thought I was refreshing the screen but instead zapped it! I cancelled the original posting. What I wanted to say is that an editor that understands things like declarations would be nice. That would be even better than allowing multiple windows on the same file, a feature that very few editors have. If the editor understood declarations, I could just ask it something by name without having to open another window and find the proper statement. Another thing I'd like is lint-like functions, happening automatically while I'm editing. Does such an editor exist? Or what's the closest? Do people do these things with macros in standard editors?
