Best program for coding c?

For small programs on my linux server I use vim over ssh.

Nano. Vim distracts very much to code with its keyboard-shortcuts.

I agree with you in that point. But nano hasn't got code hilighting, has it?

As I remember, by default nano hasn't any syntax highlighting, but you need to set it in a config file. Within the config file you can do something like this:

Code:

syntax "xorg" "xorg\.conf$"
color blue "[0-9]"
color green "[^A-Za-z0-9](Screen|Driver|Option)"

you can use regex to help yourself to find a specific string. If the string matches with the regular expression, it will be highlighted with the color you specified.
The first one:

Code:

color blue "[0-9]"

will highlight numbers as blue; the second one:

Code:

color green "[^A-Za-z0-9](Screen|Driver|Option)"

will highlight some of the keywords (Screen, Driver, Option) as green.

Visual Studio is the most preferred if you're on windows.

I like Visual Studio,i always use it

i love SX too
