macOS Simple code editor for Fortran?

[Spanky Deluxe]

I've been using TextEdit to write my Fortran programs recently and I was wondering if there are any (free) programs for editing Fortran programs? I don't need anything with syntax checking etc, the compiler does that for me. Something that'll deal with indents easier and have a line number display etc. I guess something a bit like the Xcode C editor.

Any suggestions?

TextWrangler, my favourite all-purpose, free text editor, supports Fortran colour coding, I think...

That is absolutely perfect! Thank you!!

There's also Smultron http://smultron.sourceforge.net/ which is an either-or kinda thing. Either you like and use it, or you use something else.

Cheers Sayer. I'll give it a try too!

Every programmer, especially Fortran programmers, should use vim. Or emacs if you prefer.

Syntax highlighting, line numbering, powerful edit functionality, and free to boot.

Seconded. Read and write Fortran every day. Nothing but vi(m).

Every time I mention it around here I seem to get flamed. I guess now that someone says they're writing Fortran they're already passed how "hardcore" people think vi(m) is.

I often like to think of myself as the resident VIM scourge of the MR forums.

there is also emacs running in the terminal window - just about as hardcore as vi

There needs to be a vim vs emacs poll.

Perhaps that'll rouse the old passions that fueled the usenet flame wars of old.

Dude you have to make one. Sorry, but I really have nothing constructive to add to the original topic... Vim FTW =]

Hey, what about pico?

Loyalty to Pico may be judged to be an idiosyncrasy for idiosyncrasy's sake.

For the OP, TextMate while not free (especially if you're an American suffering from a weak $ to € exchange rate), is a popular option and rightly so. It is very pretty, and you get syntax highlighting, code folding, and number of other things.

Fortran isn't included by default but a Fortran bundle is available from the Macromates SVN repository. Install scripts for Fortran, Ada, and may other TextMate bundles are available here (just cut and paste and run them in your terminal):

It's worth the trial download.

aquamacs. http://aquamacs.org

It's an OS X aqua port of emacs.

This has been the answer to all my text editing needs.

Pico > Vim .
