Now, the per line part is nice in TW, but nothing special.

With the font options the same on both editors, Fraise shows more text on screen at once (2 extra lines), doesn't cut off half-lines from view and scrolls per pixel instead of per line. I do like having the one in Fraise showing. TW has a custom one that I don't even show. The one in TW is always in alphabetical order.įraise has a real toolbar. The document list in Fraise can be sorted. TextWrangler has an old-world outmoded drawer concept that takes up too much room and wastes too much space. TextWrangler just shows the function name.įraise has a nice new-world style sidebar on the left with the documents. The function list in Fraise shows the whole thing with the variables and the line number they're on. Or just the numbers in parenthesis without the rgb part. Would be AMAZING if it could do Lua or Löve type color insertions. And doesn't go away as gracefully as it should if I decide not to use it.įraise has an "Insert Color" feature, but it only inserts as rgb(#,#,#). But sometimes capitalizes stuff it shouldn't. Note in the right side of the screenshot below the Anonymous function under Sort.Īuto-complete is nice. Your Function modification doesn't include those special functions like anonymous ones and others that are part of tables.

It makes sense if you're typing the coded line for the first time and there's nothing after it's on that line, but if I'm editing a line that's already complete, it should not insert that because who knows if I'm trying to surround something I already typed? I had to turn off the options to add closing parenthesis and brackets because it mad inserting them into already typed lines frustrating. I also can't Entab or Detab in LUA files? What the hell?Īlso notice the lack of a "Compare" feature. This will take getting used to unless I can change it. The "Shift Right" and "Shift Left" (Add tab spaces or remove them) commands in Fraise are Command+K and Command+L instead of the logical Command+. What the hell is that? Can it be enabled and does it do what I want it to? It has a menu option called "Remove needless spaces" but in LUA files it's disabled. Fraise doesn't do this, and doesn't have an option. In TW when I save, it will remove all extra spaces from the ends of lines. But this is no big deal as I rarely notice this anyway. In TW, numbers (values) are colored as are certain function names that belong to the language. I need this.įraise doesn't colorize everything that TextWrangler does. TextWrangler has it as an option that of course I turn on. No option to turn it on.įraise doesn't have a way to click and drag in the gutter to select text. TextWrangler reloads immediately before you even switch to the app and doesn't ask. Then it asks if you want to reload the document. When editing and saving somewhere else, it takes a few seconds for Fraise to realize. A few quirks that I can tolerate and don't break the deal: Now that I can have functions, I might actually switch!Īnyway, here's a review of Fraise versus TextWrangler based on an hour of using it. Except Fraise, which just needs that one feature. I tried other editors, including TextMate, and none seem to do the job like Wrangler. er Fraise in a second if it had that one feature. I've used TW for years, but would switch to Strawberry. I actually contacted BareBones about doing the same thing in TextWrangler and adding tabs like every other app out there and getting rid of the outdated drawer in lieu of the new style sidebar but they said they had no plans to do any of it at this time. It really is a nice editor, and it smells like Strawberries. At least should have a proper space like this proposoal in Fraise website.Īctually, that would be perfect! The sidebar is so underused for me anyway, so putting all the functions in there too would make me switch in an instant.

Matter of fact I think that feature is a bit too hidden to be used here. Arquivista wrote:Sorry for desapointing you, as I never really needed or used that feature in LOVE editing I never notice that bug (I think should be an incomplete lua support since it works with html/css and other coding).
