UNIX and Linux Applications

I'm looking for a c++ IDE and/or Text editor with split screen abilities like what you see below with notepad ++. Having the ability to split your screen is very helpful when comparing code.

I have tried geany which chokes VERY badly when trying to compile multiple files. I have tried kate which doesn't have a compiler. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

xterm + nano + gcc? open as many windows side by side as you want.

I would like a c++ IDE and/or gui Text editor. I want a program that I can split screen with. It is hard to compare code when you have multiple windows open.

I don't know of a graphical IDE with the features you want. What's so intimidating about typing text into a black window instead of a white one?

I was playing around in Eclipse trying to get the C++ plugin to work, so I would have one IDE for both JAVA and C++. Maybe it will work for you!

The diff has some very nice optional presentations for comparison. I like the one where lines are prefixed =+- for same, new, old. I also love diff3 -e to merge changes from a common starting point file and two modified files using ex.

A coding style with many lines really helps all tools, so start designing, and adhering to, a nicely indented, one line per parameter, assignment or boolean predicate style. Alas, comma lists and other infix operators mess this up a bit with list-level operators intruding into the list elements, unless you go newline-crazy-ugly (I've seen it)!

Oh, for a language with lists externally notated, like:

Code:

.
.
.
OR(
 z == 3
 bool_variable
 c > 7
 AND(
  d == 9
  e < 100
  bool_returning_method()
  )
 )

It is hard to compare code when you have multiple windows open.

Could you explain how to set it up please?
