nedit will do all that. All the editor settings can be changed from its
macro code, so you collect up all the settings you want (easy, the
integrated help is good) and bind it to a keyboard shortcut and/or
menu entry.

I said before that nedit has other issues, but I'm still looking for
something better. All the KDE/gnome stuff sucks, and I'll put my flame
suit on before saying that the GNU stuff (emacs, viXYZ) sucks even more.

One big advantage of nedit is that it is an X11 editor that runs
extremely well over ssh (forget KDE/gnome stuff) and only needs basic
X11 libraries, so it doesn't fire up all the desktop stuff. And it's old
style, so no being-smart rubbish turning into being-smartalec useless.
What it shows you is what is in the file. File type? Type? What??
