Brief, the text editor, from Underware. It's still the best code editor I've ever used. Super fast, underpins written in a Lisp-y dialect (later C-ish). The ^G feature would pop up a list box listing all functions in the file and I could select where I wanted to jump to. It's still a feature I wish I had in any modern editor.
- jmarcher 8y agoThis is a common and basic feature in most modern editors. Sublime, VSCode, Emacs (with ibuffer), IntelliJ*, VIM (with ggtags?), etc.
- alecr95 8y agoI'm pretty sure sublime text 3 has a similar feature -- http://docs.sublimetext.info/en/latest/file_management/file_navigation.html#supported-operators http://docs.sublimetext.info/en/latest/file_management/file_... The shortcut is slightly different (ctrl + shift + r), but function is the same
- fredsanford 8y agoBrief was also on my mind. I met David Intersimone a few times and asked him about un-retiring it or open sourcing it. Obviously a no-go. :(
- mikerg87 8y agoMan I miss Brief. I even used it on OS/2. I wish Embarcadero would bring it back. The way you could split Windows amazing. And fast. The column based operations were great when maniplulating input files. VSCODE et al are OK but it can’t compete with character mode.
