Does anyone out there use the editor Nedit to edit lisp programming?
If so, any ideas on additional utilities and aids to enhance the
experience?
Thank you

I use it sometimes, but don't really have any suggestions on
enhancements. The paren-matching is about the only lispish
feature that comes to mind. To show callers/callees I use grep in
another window. The language mode is set to lisp, but I don't
recall that it's any different than Plain. One gotcha is that the
paren-matching doesn't handle lisp comments (semi-colons and
#|'s) and can match the wrong paren if the code has unmatched
paren's within comments. Things I like about nedit are the
features you'd expect in any modern editor: multiple undo/redo,
open many files at once, rich search/replace, etc. I had ctags
working at one point, but couldn't make it handle CLOS
defmethods. I read of nedit's nc but haven't investigated what
it could do for me. Other tools I use (but not integrated with
nedit) are tkdiff and a web browser pointed at the HyperSpec,
cltl2, our local documentation, and of course lisp interpreter
features such as the debugger, tracer, stepper, etc.
Let me know what you turn up.
