• gedit (Gnome) and kate (KDE) are both decent editors. ( Gedit has a nice dark colour scheme you can pick to use. )
• SciTE light tabbed editor with nice coding features
• Meld and Kompare are decent diff tools
• KDESvn is what I used to use to sync with SVN in KDE.

• notepad++ is quite a good GPL editor.
• Tortoise SVN is good for doing SVN checkouts and commits.
• WinMerge is a decent GPL diff tool.
• 7-zip is a pretty handy archiver.

You can also use http://qt.nokia.com/products/developer-tools Qt Creator for Mixxx development by creating a Qt project file for the source files. You can do this by running 'qmake -project' under mixxx/src. When using the created project file, you are able to use Creators editing features such as following symbols (F2) and switching between code and header files (F4). When compiling you will still have to resort to SCons as th project file will not resolve the dependencies.

On Ubuntu Linux, G uses:

• grep

export GREP_COLOR='1;33'
export GREP_OPTIONS=--color=auto

• colordiff

alias svndiff='(echo "Running SVN diff (your changes vs. the repo)..." && (svn -x -w diff|colordiff))|less -R'
alias svnbasediff='(echo "Running SVN diff against BASE:HEAD (changes in the repo since last \"svn update\")..." && (svn diff -x -w -rBASE:HEAD|colordiff))|less -R'

• diff -y with automatic adjustment for term width.

alias ydiff='y_diff'
function y_diff() {
  diff --width=${COLUMNS} -b -y "$1" "$2" | colordiff | less -R
}

• colormake & colorgcc

### Color GCC
if [ -z "`which colorgcc`" ]; then
  echo Installing ColorGCC ...
  sudo aptitude install colorgcc
fi
if [ ! -z "`which colorgcc`" ]; then
  export CC="colorgcc"
  alias gcc='colorgcc'
  for C in `grep /usr/bin /etc/colorgcc/colorgccrc | sed -e 's/# //' -e 's/:.*//'`; do
    if [ ! -e /usr/local/bin/${C} ]; then
      echo "Installing colorgcc wrapper in /usr/local/bin for ${C}... "
      sudo ln -s /usr/bin/colorgcc /usr/local/bin/${C}
    fi
  done
fi
### Color Make
if [ -z "`which colormake`" ]; then
  echo Installing ColorMake ...
  sudo aptitude install colormake
fi
if [ ! -z "`which colormake`" ]; then
  alias make='colormake'
  if [ ! -e /usr/local/bin/make ]; then
    sudo ln -s /usr/bin/colormake /usr/local/bin/make

• source-highlight
• Usage:
  • vs somefile.cpp
  • vs SConscript

alias vs="view_source"
function view_source {
  lang_def=""
  case "`basename $1`" in
    SConscript|SConstruct) lang_def=python.lang;;
    .bashrc|.bashrc-extra) lang_def=sh.lang;;
    # *) lang_def=cpp;;
  esac
  if [ ! -z "${lang_def}" ]; then lang_def="--lang-def=${lang_def}"; fi

  echo -e "\033]0;view-source: $1\007\c"
  source-highlight ${lang_def} --out-format=esc --output=STDOUT "$1" 2>/dev/null | less -RN
}

• nano editor with color syntax highlighting

• Syntax color highlighting .nanorc file, you may have to run dos2unix on it.

• Usage:
  • nano somefile.cpp:326:error: some compiler error message

alias nano='smart_nano'
## Smart nano jumps to a line number when you give it filename:nnn where nnn is the line number (like compile warnings/errors)
function smart_nano() {
  if [ -z "$(echo \"$@\" | egrep [a-zA-Z0-9]:[0-9]+)" ]; then
    /usr/bin/nano -w -c "$@"
    return
  fi
  unset args
  echo
  while (( "$#" )); do
    if [ ! -z "${1}" ] && [ ! -z "`echo ${1}|cut -d: -f2|grep -e '^[0-9]*$'`" ]; then
      args[${#args[@]}]=+$(echo ${1}|cut -d: -f2|grep -e '^[0-9]*$') # Line Number Offset
      args[${#args[@]}]=$(echo ${1}|cut -d: -f1) # File Name
    elif [ -f "${1}" ]; then
      args[${#args[@]}]=$1
    else
      echo "Nano could not find: $1"; sleep .5
    fi
    shift
