Good text editor for Linux

[AbsolutZero]

I've been using Nedit http://www.nedit.org/ for development for a couple years now, but I was wondering if there was anything else better (Linux). What I'd really like is customizable key-bindings for common fuctions like copy/paste, save, etc.. I have a MS natural kb and my left pinky is pretty d@mn tired of holding Ctrl-s to save code :frown:

It takes some time to get used to, but it works really well.

Yeah, once you learn vim/vi, you will fly through text like you never have before. No super repetetive pinky pain inducing key combos either. Don't try emacs 😛

But you have to use Ctrl-<key> combos to save/quit/etc, which is exactly what he is complaining about.
