for a very long time i was searching for the "perfect" text editor.
for months now, i checked a lot text editors, mainly in linux and
also dos enviroment... but finally i think i found the right one for
me.

í

and what's the "perfect" editor, you may ask... well i am glad you
did, cause otherwise the article will ended here :p ö so let's see
what functions i wanted this editor to have and finally who is it of
course :)

í

first of all, i wanted the editor to be able to run in all my
systems, specially on my linux pc and android smartphone and lastly
on my raspberry pi. the solution i found was to use an old dos
application that will run under dosbox in all systems! this way i am
expanding my tool library that i make with dosbox. with a simple
copy/paste the files in each system, i have all my setup in each
system instantly. no other modifications to be made for the apps to
work. each dos app. runs flawless in dosbox. so as you guessed, i am
using a dos text editor... but just wait... don't leave yet.

í

some other functionality i wanted... to be able to use word
wrapping, which it may seem easy, but it's not. not all editors have
it, specially with using a different line size (less than 80 chars.)
also i wanted to have auto-indentation. this means that if the last
line begines for example from the 4th char, when you press óenterò
to go to the next line, the line will automatically begin from the
4th char. also. many dos editors have the one or other, but not
both.
í

i wanted to be able to use easily, any ascii character! only a few
have this ability... to show a small box from where you can choose
any ascii char, from 0-255 and pasted in the text! now i can insert
any char. and make my documents more rich... you may realized it all
ready :)

í

what about drawing ascii lines, by moving the cursor? yep... i
wanted this also, as well a way to draw ascii boxes... done! found
both, very easy, with a press of a button.

í

but the main "feature" was to be able to use "easy" and "well known"
key strokes/combinations, for me. i am used to use ctrl+c/v/x for
copy/paste/cut, ctrl+n/o to create/open a file etc. this was a hard
task. almost all editors i tried, didn't use these key combinations,
at least not all of them. i was mad, furious and at the end
desperate :( i thought i never find one... and at the last moment,
at the very last tries... eureka!!!

í

it didn't use exactly the key shortcuts i wanted, but it has a
unique system configuration, that allows to enter your own key
combinations, for any of the functions, the editor has!!! how cool
is that? so i opened the editor and create a new config file, with
the key combinations i wanted. i didn't assign each function of the
editor to key shortcuts, in reality i used much less... but i
assigned those that i am using most. at the end of the file, i have
inserted the config file for the key shortcuts, the menu system and
also a blue colored pallete to use with the editor...

í

what? you can configure the menus? and also the colors? yep!!! you
can! you can add/remove any menu item or complete menu categories.
this way you can make the editor as simple or complex you want. but
it doesn't stop here... you can justify lines of text, in the
center, left or right. you can repeat a set of chars. as many time
you want, it supports folding, macro extensions and more! i mean,
for a dos editor all these are unbelievable!!! even today, "modern"
text editor, don't have these features.

í

so who's this editor you ask... it's called Aurora. you can find it
here: www-personal.umich.edu/~knassen/aurora.hmtl

the good thing is, that it's abandonware and you can grab a copy and
register it your self. just open the macro expression command line
(alt+f12 default key shortcut) and write: xE "your name"
restart the editor and it should be registered in your name...
simple!

i don't expect to use it or like it. but you should definetely take
a look and see this editor, cause it has some unique and very well
implemented features, that even present editors don't have.
