Ultimate Editor

What I'd like an editor to do for me is help out with how the page looks. One I set up a page that looks half-way decent - even if I use stock templates or style sheets - I can always plop the code in later by hand and that's no biggie. It's just that initial setting up of tables and stuff that is kind of tedious and I want to get away from that so I can concentrate on the code.

Personally, I would love to find an editor which had colour coded code ability, a nice windows cut/paste/undo/redo feature, much akin to say Homesite, but the most important thing would be that it can simulate a telnet connection (or any connection for that matter) to the web server im working on and use it just like the current editors view/use/display the local hard drive. When you save a file, it instantly saves it on the server. Ive seen some editors which have a supposed publish option but they are either very lame, or made by microsoft (nuff said). I like the ability to have a simple keystroke(s) to instantly update the file so I can reload it direct off the webserver and test it out. Infact, I didnt mind how nedit worked when I was running my FreeBSD box at home, but it too couldnt allow me to work on remote files live. Chris
