SlickEdit is a cross-platform Source Code Editor and Integrated Development Environment (IDE) by SlickEdit, Inc. SlickEdit provides Syntax Highlighting , code navigation and a customizable Keyboard Shortcut s. The latest version, 11, also supports Code Template s. HISTORY SlickEdit started as a source code editor with features such as syntax highlighting, code refactoring, Macro s, and key bindings (keyboard shortcuts) compatible with many mainstream text editors including Vim (text Editor) and Emacs . It has progressively been augmented with more features, such as integrated debugging sessions, to compete with mainstream Compiler s and Source Code Management systems as an IDE. In SlickEdit 11, Vi emulation was upgraded to Vim emulation. SlickEdit 2007 (version 12.0) was released in March 2007. Some of the notable improvements in SlickEdit 2007 include:
As of July 29, 2007, SlickEdit 2007 is at version 12.0.2 and cumulative hotfixes are at "revision 8", or "12.0.2 R8" for short.

OPERATING SYSTEMS SlickEdit runs on a number of Operating System s, including: SlickEdit's supported operating systems
(SlickEdit also supported OS/2 until version 4.0b.) SLICK-C Slick-C the proprietary Script Language of the editor. Much of the editor is actually written in Slick-C, and all the Slick-C source code is included in with the product. This means that the user can take a look at how things work and modify the behavior to suit her/his needs better. The language is C-like as the name suggest, though it has some elements from REXX (parse, say, ...). These REXX feature probably stems from the early days when the editor was making use of a REXX derived scripting language. SUPPORT In addition to direct support for customers, SlickEdit also hosts a web forum where users can help one another. SlickEdit support CRITICISMS As can be seen by the official support forum and latest change log, SlickEdit 2007 (12.0) was released with many bugs but numerous issues were fixed in versions 12.0.1 and 12.0.2. Additional bugs were fixed in hotfixes, which are bundled in a single file and is at revision 8 as of July 29, 2007. According to some, SlickEdit suffers from an overabundance of features.
