Which editor for Ubuntu?

[ninetto]

Hi, could somebody suggest me which editor to use to write c++ programs in Ubuntu? I have launched Kate and another editor whose name now I do not remember, but they seemed too poor to me: they are just text editor, I couldn't even use different colors for comments, keywords, etc. etc. Have I not looked carefully enough? By the way, even if I would use Kate, how would I compile then and run my c++ program? From the terminal? In case the use of Kate would be suggested, could it be possible the sequence of commands to be described and a short description of them?

Then I have installed on my laptop eclipse - I've grabbed the information to use it from the net - but it looks like I can create only Java applications... I am confused, I am still very ignorant of these things and it look like I am doing a lot of errors..

You need to install Eclipse CDT.

Code::Blocks is also an option, but only when using the nightly build:

@ Athar thanx, I did "add new software" it seems it's working

@ ResidentBiscuit that's it: Vi is the other editor I had tried (actuall GVim, but from the information collected from the net they should be more or less the same (can you confirm?)), but how can I use this program, that looks just like a normal text editor, to run then c++ programs?

@ both thank you very much!

Just compile it through the terminal, then you can run it

But, I was halfway kidding. Vi is really, really, basic.
