Does anyone know a alternative to Notepad++ for Linux (Ubuntu 11 to be precise).
What I like about NP++
- Free
- Fast
- Supports pretty much every interperted language (I have Code::Blocks for C++ which is my only compiler language).
- Lightweight
- Awesome Icon (not to important I guess)
- FTP Connection (if possible)
- Easy to install
- Highlights markup
Languages I would like (-= Required, += Would be nice)
- PHP
- HTML
- Javascript
- CSS
+ C++ (Just for quick viewing)
+ LUA
Please, write clearly with proper structure. Double spacing makes the text feel un-jointed, Capitalizing Every Word Means People Stop Before Every Word Sub-Consciously Which Is A Pain In The Backside, and use code tags! (The right most styling box).

jEdit. Just grab it from Synaptic or Software Center. I find geany works pretty well, too.

I am unsure of what you mean by languages, gedit should come with Ubuntu and be fine with that, Geany (my personal favourite) is not heavy and can work with many languages based on the file type. You can in fact (if it does not already) open up an HTML file and hit execute as if you were running an executable, and it will open the browser or whatnot (it can be set up to do some nice default things)
Be sure to read the updated FAQ! || Health is achieved through the same 10,000 steps.
If a suggested code/method fails, informing us is less important than telling us why or what errors occurred.

As a side note, my main reason for loving jEdit is the ability to associate other file extensions with markup, and the ability to define new markups (I use hybrid ASP/ColdFusion files at work, and need to be able to markup both where appropriate).

On my Ubuntu 10.10, using only editors in the repository, I've got the following installed:
GVim, Kate, TEA Text Editor, Text Editor (gedit), Bluefish Editor, Geany, jEdit, UltraEdit

Of those, I regularly use gedit, jEdit, and Geany.

Depending on what exactly you are trying to do you could give Net Beans a chance.
