We can use notepad.exe, we can use notepad++, and yea, we can use sublim text. However more often we need to open the file in question, from the command line as quick as possible, to not loose time. In linux i'm a fun of Nano or vim, i used to use nano and now vim, and they are really good choices. Notepad++ probably has a lot of features that I don't have time to mess with. It's invisible and gFortran, at least, can't deal with it. BTW be careful not to use the tab key in Fortran source. I renamed the editor to EDIT.EXE, set up a path to it, and invoke it from command line. I of course keep typing keyboard codes (50 years of habit) but surprisingly at least some of them work. It can keep multiple tabs for files being edited and even remembers where the cursor was last. On the other hand it is a decent Fortran source editor and has row and column numbers displayed. It is unfortunately a screen editor, requires a mouse, and is consequently slow. It's a far cry from DOS EDIT, but there are some side benefits. After spending a week browsing the internet and testing editors, I wanted to share my best solution: Notepad++. in the 60's and like others on this blog I sorely miss the loss of a command line editor in 64-bit Windows. I am a retired engineer who grew up with DOS, Fortran, IBM360, etc.
