Here's an example:
Author: "Hello, user of my software. You are using it for free, which is fine, but I'll starve if you don't give me money. It's fine, though. Not starving would be nice, but I'm not mad at your for not giving me money."
User: *feels guilty*

That's manipulation. If the author wants money for his software, he should sell it and not distribute it for free. Otherwise, the user shouldn't be manipulated to buy his software.
If you're going to reply to my post, consider posting an (preferably working) example - 99.7% of time time, I already know how to implement the feature theoretically! ;) I don't learn very well from references, etc....

I use ZeroBrane Studio IDE not just for playing with Love2d, but for all my Lua development (including the development of the IDE itself), although I'm clearly biased here.

It's not as polished as ST2 in terms of search/navigation/styles, but it does run on Windows/OSX/Linux and provides integrated debugger, remote console, stack and watch views, love2d/lua auto-complete, and live coding.

That looks pretty nice! I'm in love with Sublime though, it's a great editor. Some people may find it having too many functions, but I'm loving it. ;)

It should, as long as it's in Unicode. I tested it myself: http://studio.zerobrane.com/images/unicode-console.png

Well, I tried sublime text thinking: "I'll try it, but no way is it going to be better then notepad++." 15 mins later:
New Google plus status: "Sublime text is so awesome!" :awesome:

But seriously, sublime text is *AMAZING*. I suggest if you haven't tried it out, you do now, otherwise, you're missing something awesome.

Really ?
Convince me, what specific features have you experienced that you never had with Notepad++ ?

  • Auto indenting. This is a big deal for me.
  • Goto anything. In the small project i was testing it on, this isn't such a big deal, but for larger projects it's great!
  • Rename multiple variables at the same time.
  • Projects. They save all the files you were working on, where you were in those files, unsaved changes, ect.
  • Batch edits. This is something i wouldn't use often, but it would be very useful sometimes.
  • Lots of plugins.
  • Cross platform.
  • F7 runs the current project in *any* way you specify.
  • Snippets. Save code templates for later reuse.
  • Open entire folders, instead of just files.
  • Auto complete for parentheses, brackets, ect.
  • Looks way nicer then np++
And that's why I switched to sublime text.

EDIT: Haven't gotten a chance to us this yet, but it has autocomplete
