Subject: Enhanced Ruby editor

All,

I know this subject has been mention a few time recently but I'll ask
again and hopefully I'll be specific enough that its new.

I've been using SCITE as my main code editor.  I'm not a developer
just a sysadmin so for the scripts that I use VBscript and Ruby it
fills my need and then some.

My needs listed below for the curious and to keep the alternate editor
suggestions to a minimum
* Lightweight (smaller is better)
* Cross platform (I use linux at home)
* Free
* Multiple tabs for many open files
* Handles a fair number of language for syntax highlighting
* Customizable (color schemes and added shortcuts for svn use)

Recently I was working with someone on some VBscript and I noticed a
feature that I had forgotten existed in VBscript editors.  That
feature was a drop down box to switch between various functions.  I
know that VBscript is different from Ruby but I was wondering if there
are any Ruby editors that have something similar to traverse class
definitions or blocks or any of the other Ruby structures.

I imagine that a person might be able to customize SCITE to add a
feature like this but aside from not knowing LUA I'm also a relative
coding and Ruby novice.  So I'm asking the group if anyone has seen or
knows of something similar?
