Is there a comparable editor like orange edit for Linux users?

Unfortunately no, new_learner.
Sometime ago I tried to write some syntax highlighting definition files for Gedit, but the things didn't worked as I expected, and I gave up.
-
why not use some virtual machine that can install some windows system ,at which the orangeedit can installed ?
or use wine to run orangeedit? -
As OrangEdit runs on .NET Framework, I don't think it could work properly on Wine (or Mono, for instance).
The virtual machine solution is the best way to go.

I've been told that KRC4s with KSS 8.3 have a syntax-hilighting file for KRL that works in NotePad++, and N++ works under Linux. But that's just a hilighting file, not really a full "helpful" editor like OrangeEdit. Although sometimes I want to strangle OE when it's trying to be "helpful," especially with how it keeps trying to complete IF statements for me when I don't want it to.
-
In fact, since KSS/VSS 8.1.x, the (V)KRC4 have a hidden Notepad++ under the path:
C:\KRC\UTIL\OFFLINETRACETOOL
I'm attaching the syntax definition file found there.
Notepad++ works very well under Wine, but it isn't robot oriented like OE, and some of its plugins (like SourceCookifier) rely on .NET, so in this case we have the same problem.

Extras -> Options -> KRL Syntax -> Uncheck the "syntax completion" box.

for work I only use windows and my editor of choice is Notepad++. I made my own syntax highlighting. I really like Orange edit but it is so slow to load, I don't use it often (I am a speed demon and if computer can't keep up with my expectations, I blame software).
-
The best thing I could find was Vim with https://github.com/KnoP-01/krl-for-vim plugin installed.
-
@ DrOetker: Thanks for mentioning my plugin here.
Since not many people appear to read the general section, let me point to my thread about krl-for-vim and rapid-for-vim here.

Pretty interesting, KnoP
I've tried to use Vim centuries ago, but didn't succeed.
Anyway, as a Linux user myself, is always good to know some alternatives.

massula: go through vimtutor (just hack that into any terminal) and you should be able to do any task. You will be slower at first, since vims concepts are much different and unusual. To use vim efficiently you need to bring the motivation and willingness to read and learn (the help is great! :help user-manual is a good start) vim deeper. At some point I just refused to install anything else but vim. I learn faster when I'm forced to ;o) Imho it was worth it. Oh, and if you are on debian or ubuntu make sure you use vim-gtk or so. Just not vim-tiny!
Edit: Sublime may be an alternative for people who don't like vim or emacs. https://github.com/XAMPP/SublimeKRL

Thanks for the tips, KnoP.
Maybe I will try it again. Just for the note, I've tried EMACS also
So, few years ago I've made syntax highlighting files and snippets to use with Gedit (so I would have sort of a cross platfor tool).
But Gedit becomes too sluggish when You enable some plugins, so I gave up.*
I bought a license for UEx (UltraEdut for Linux) when it was released, but the first releases were buggy, so I also gave up. I've installed a demo recently, and the things are naturally better, so maybe in a closer future I will try it again.
I will take a look at this Sublime config file.
*EDIT: other reason to abandon Gedit is, to create a new syntax definition, you need to edit a gtk sourcefile, and point that new syntax file, and sometimes it broke when I updated my computers.

Started to test Notepadqq, an Notepad++ inspired text editor.
Doesn't have all the features that its "muse" has, but looks promising.
