QuickView Syntax Highlighting Editor

[BGM]

Salvete! I *really* need a syntax-coloured text editor that works quickly and well with FreeCommander.

I want to activate the quickviewer and instantly be able to copy/paste/cut/edit/save the text in the panel.

I have tried synplus, which is very versatile, but the keyboard commands do not work in FC's quickviewer. (I think FC has not allowed any keyboard shortcuts to register with the quickviewer panel).

The default for text (and xml, cs, vb, etc) is only a viewer, not an editor.

For me, this is essential. Right now, instead of using the quickviewer (which is too slow), I use Notepad2 as my editor for * files. However, I'd rather use the internal viewer.

Anyone have any ideas, or other workflows? What plugins do y'all use? Has anyone tried to make a plugin just for FC?

I also use Notepad2 as files editor (F4).
I use UniversalViewer (with few plugins) as external viewer.
The internal viewer is just that: a quick viewer.

[BGM]

Yes, but the quick-viewer, even if it is a quick-view, does not natively view with syntax colouring. It doesn't do much good to view the file without the colouring. Colouring gives instant recognition of the code structure without actually reading the file. It is much faster and useful to use notepad2, which I am doing, but I *wish* I could just do it in the quickview.

Have you tried other editor-plugins for TC?

There are some which also have syntax highlighting.

[BGM]

Yes, I have tried very many TC plugins. I was hoping maybe that some of y'all might offer your experience with ones you like.

SynWrite have you tried too?

[BGM]

Yes, I have tried that one - I never could get it to allow me to edit the document like I can with SynPlus - and it doesn't load any faster. So far, SynPlus is the best one of all, but still loads too slow for a "quick" view.

Karol, do you use SynWrite?

[ralfso]

I also use synplus, but I can't verify a slow loading.

Ok, it's not the slowest PC, but the loading is nearly immediately.

Win7 Home Premium SP1 (64-bit), Intel i7-2600 (3,4 GHz), 8 GB Ram, 2x2000 GB HD, NVIDIA GeForce 545

Marek says he doesn't see the slow load either. Maybe it is my XP... I have 2.7ghz processor, 4gb of RAM - but my NVIDIA Quadro NVS 290 video card is taxed with my two monitors, and it only has 250mb ram. Maybe that's the problem.

Karol, do you use SynWrite?

I use SynWrite in view mode (F3 or Ctrl+Q) and it opens fast enough.
If I need edit the viewed file then I press F4 and open SynWrite editor.
