What is MadEdit?

MadEdit is an Open-Source and Cross-Platform Text/Hex Editor written in C++ and wxWidgets.

MadEdit can edit files in Text/Column/Hex modes, and supports many useful functions, e.g. SyntaxHighlightings, WordWrap, Encodings (UTF8/16/32,Big5,GBK...) and WordCount.

Features

MadEdit can run under Linux, FreeBSD and MS-Windows platforms. Edits files in Text, Column and Hex modes. In Hex-Mode, MadEdit can open large files which size is up to 32GB (INT_MAX*16). Users can change the encoding of files at runtime like Web-Browsers. Supports many encodings, e.g. Unicode(UTF-8, UTF-16/32 with Little or Big Endian), Big5, GBK and S-JIS etc. Supports Unicode CJK Ext-B. If users input a character that is not supported by current encoding, this character will be converted to U+XXXX. Unicode format. Regular Expression search & replace (by using Boost.Xpressive). Opens multiple files on single instance. Supports syntax-highlighting of many programming languages, e.g. awk, C/C++, CSS, diff/patch, D, DOS Batch Script, Flash ActionScript, HTML, Java, JavaScript, JSP, Lua, Pascal, PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby, UNIX Shell Script, x86 Assembly, XML, Fortran, TeX/LaTeX, Squirrel, C#, Visual Basic, ASP(VBScript), SQL, Verilog, VHDL.

Along with wxMEdit icon wxMEdit there is another fork of this editor: https://github.com/LiMinggang/madedit-mod I see no binary packages yet, but it looks quite feature-packed if you're able to build it from sources.
