Notepad equivalent for HTML coding & right clicking.

Well.. textedit does plain text technically.. but there are a lot of nice text editors out there... Textmate ($), BBedit ($$$), Textwrangler (free), Smultron (free), SubEthaEdit ($), Hyperedit ($), taco html idk go to http://macupdate.com/ and poke around.. also visit http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=171456 although there is always pico... vi, emacs.... etc...

Right click with single button mouse is... ctrl + mouse click.

 

Control clicking is equivalent to right clicking, and you can use Text Edit to code your HTML.

 

FYI, TextWrangler, mentioned above, is free and quite nice.

 

You use Notepad for HTML editing? Hmm ... right, ok.

OS X comes with TextEdit, but TextWrangler (a free download) is better. It has context sensitive formatting so you can more easily distinguish tags, attributes and content.

 

I personally use Taco HTML

 

I used notepad for HTML editing on windows. It was fast and didn't crash. No ummmm... features though.

I use TextWrangler now. So far its my favorite OS X exclusive app. I found the color coding anoying at first (that's why I stuck with notepad with windows) but I love it now. If you're looking for a mac ftp client and haven't found one yet, I'd recomend cyberduck. Its free also, and a wonderful app.

 

I found a solution

Go to system preferences. Selected keyboard & mouse. When to trackpad tab and near the bottom I checked "For secondary clicks...blah blah blah". Give that a shot.

 

Assuming you have a Mighty Mouse, you can turn on two or even three button use under >system prefs>keyboard & mouse>mouse. If you have something like a MS optical plugged in then it'll default to two button use and only let you set speeds and which button is left...
