Highlighting Text Editor

I need a text editor (for programming pourposes) that supports the following features:

  1. Multi-Language syntax-highlighting
  2. Mult-plataform (UNIX/Windows)
  3. Graphical Interface
  4. Square Block of Text selection

On windows, I use ConTEXT, but, it is not Mult-plataform (issue 2). On Linux I use Gedit, but, fails on issue 4.

Is there any editor that suits all these needs?

EDIT:

Issue 4 is, select a square (or rectangle if you wish) like this:

aaaaaaaa|aaaa|aaxxxxxa 
bbbbbbbb|bbbb|bbbxxxxx
cccccccc|cccc|cccxxxxx
Solution

  • Multi platform? Emacs or gVim.
