Solved Any text editor like this?

[wolffnx]

Any good text editor like editors/leafpad basic,fast with a toolbar and made in gtk2?
there is a few around there but source code and for Linux

editors/gedit comes to mind but it's using GTK3.

Visit x11-toolkits/gtk20 at FreshPorts and see editors/* on This port is required by: part (would need expanding Library dependencies: sub part).There are 12 ports listed, including hex editors and IDEs. There could be more, which optionally support Gtk2 instead of default one.

I have editors/mousepad installed for when I need a simple GUI text editor (mostly "text viewer" for me).
However, for real text editing I always use editors/vim in a console...

Very fast, but not fulfilling all your requirements: X11 standard xedit

leafpad doesn't have too many dependencies. Have you tried building an older/GTK2+ version on FreeBSD?

XFE has a built in text editor. You might find that to be suitable?

editors/leafpad depends on x11-toolkits/gtk20.
So I thought OP wants something for comparison or to switch to.
And XFE you specifie would be x11-fm/xfe, right?

you get me wrong, I dont want compile leafpad with gtk2 support
I want other editor like, leafpad but with a toolbar and gtk2

XFE is a full good file manager, I liked a lot, but I prefer someting made in gtk2(for icons,colorset,etc)

Its not very clear.

Leafpad seems to match those criteria (Gtk2 and toolbar). Perhaps mousepad? Similar codebases.

Yep. Pretty much the lightest file manager (and text editor) I can currently find.

Sometimes I searched for a lightweight filemanager, without success.
I need it from time to time, when I have a lot of image files and want to see screenshoots to select one.
But not anyone shows screenshots.

Mousepad is fine but is gtk3/4

Update:
I download the source code for mousepad 0.4
compile with gmake and tweak the configure file to disable gtk3
now:
??

maybe you can just s/gtk30/gtk20/ in the Makefile of the port? (Sorry, never bothered about gtk versions, so no idea if they are easily interchangeable)

I try in the Makefile from the port but stills compile with gtk3 (FreeBSD 14.1) , maybe in some version of mousepad they drop gtk2
