ShiftEdit – Web Based IDE
ShiftEdit is a new online IDE built around ExtJS and Mozilla Skywriter.
Philosophy behind the project:

“The web-based IDE is one of the final frontiers of apps ported to the web. I would like to be able to develop from any computer or operating system and have the same experience without having to install software or create site definitions.” – Adam Jimenez
These are some of the main features:
Code editor
The editor component is based on Mozilla’s Bespin. It has support for:
- Syntax highlighing for HTML/ CSS/ JS and PHP
- Block tabbing
- Undo/ Redo
- Line Numbers
- Jump to line
- + It’s very fast
(S)FTP support
There is a built-in FTP explorer which support FTP and SFTP.
You can create/ rename/ delete files and folders. You can also set file permissions.
Find/replace
Find and replace works across current or all open files. You can do text searches or regular expression searches.
Revision History
File revisions are stored whenever you save a file. You can then look back through past revisions and view a diff comparison.
You can then restore to an earlier version. Very useful if you or a colleague breaks something!

The IDE works a treat, just like you say,
thanks alot.
This looks like a great web tool, certainly something I may look at when we are eclipse lets does not fit the bill
thanks for your share and your time which you spend for us !
I immediately checked the site out upon seeing this article. I was excited about the possibility of a feature-rich online IDE without all of the extras that Eclipse/Aptana and Dreamweaver have that I don’t use anyway.
I signed up for an account and logged in. I was immediately presented with a link on the main page: “Important changes to free edition”. I read them and was dismayed at the news that the free edition now only allows one site, and no revision history. I guess I understand that the developers need to make their efforts worth their while, and they provide a reasonable explanation about the resources involved in version history. Now it’s either the $400 for Dreamweaver, the free but complete Eclipse/Aptana suite, or ShiftEdit for $50/yr. ShiftEdit is a good price comparatively and it really only has the features that I would most use out of the larger IDE suites. Maybe I’ll fork over the $50 anyway. I have to play with it for a while first…
These tools are awesome, yet rather complicated for beginners. Nevertheless did I work through most of it and it helped me a lot.
