Eddie is a text editor which was first released in 1997 for BeOS, and later ported to Linux and macOS. It was written by Pavel Císler, formerly a senior developer at Be, who later worked for Eazel and currently works for Apple and continues to develop Eddie as his pet project, now on macOS. Inspired by the classic Mac OS Macintosh Programmer's Workshop editor, it is primarily intended for working with C and C++ development. However, Eddie supports syntax colouring for HTML, JavaScript, .kon/.widget, Perl, and many other formats. Eddie supports a Worksheet – provides a well-appointed shell that enables the power of bash and the convenience of editing in a normal text window mode.

Plugins

  • Autocompletion
  • BeApiFetch
  • beide
  • Allows the BeIDE key bindings to be used under Eddie.
  • HeaderGuard
  • Magic Prototyper
  • Allows the writing class definitions and corresponding declarations to be easier - it manages the copy-paste actions you normally have to perform when filling out the implementation of class methods. It is even more useful when writing class template methods, saving three or more copy-paste operations per method.
