NEdit, the Nirvana editor, is a text editor and source code editor for the X Window System. It has an interface similar to text editors on Microsoft Windows and Macintosh, rather than to older UNIX editors like Emacs. It was initially developed by Mark Edel for Fermilab and released under a restrictive licence, but later relicenced under the GPL-2.0-or-later (plus Motif clause) and became an independent open-source project maintained by a team of developers. Nedit was also distributed with the IRIX operating system.

Nedit was also distributed with the IRIX operating system.

NEdit is extensible through a C-like macro language, and it features automatic indentation and syntax highlighting for a wide variety of computer languages. NEdit can also process tags files generated using the Unix ctags command or the Exuberant Ctags program.
