I need a text editor for linux with the following features:

  • Syntax Highlighting for PHP, Javascript (most have these)
  • Autocompletion of braces, parenthesis, and
  • Most important of all, editing via FTP.
  • Even more important of all, have a 'keep alive' function when editing via ftp. I have a not so fast internet connection and many editors connect, save, and disconnect everytime i save the file.

The keep alive function that notepad++ has is a life saver. I've tried jEdit, but there isnt a keep alive feature.

I'm using Komodo Edit v 8.5. Features:

  • PHP (and many others) live syntax check and completion of parenthesis, etc
  • FTP/SFTP/FTPS/SCP (I don't see SSH options, but I'm new to Komodo, maybe there's a way)
  • You can use it as simple editor or with project manager
  • There's a paid IDE version of Komodo also, you can try it as well
