You don't need IDEs for everything. Use any text editor. KWrite, Gedit, nano, whatever.

There is the bash plug in for GVim at http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/s...?script_id=365. It isn't really necessary, but it does offer built-in code snippets and script templates to kick start the scripting process. There is a PDF of the keybindings it uses at http://lug.fh-swf.de/vim/vim-bash/bash-hot-keys.pdf, and a screenshot here: http://lug.fh-swf.de/vim/vim-bash/run-screen-1.png.

Geany does coloring for a lot of scripts including bash.
It doesn't do auto completion and syntax checking however...

I recently discovered jedit. It has a lot of great features, including syntax highlighting for about 140 languages, and a nice tree-like window pane where you can see the structure of your file systems and open files on the fly.
Your original post shows that you are using W7, and the good news is that jedit is multiplataform, which means that you can use it both in Windows and in Linux.
Here's the link to the download page: http://www.jedit.org/index.php?page=...atform=windows
If you happen to have another computer with Linux, you can download jedit from the repositories, via apt-get or aptitude if you're using Debian or Debian-based distro, or yum for Red-Hat based distros.
Here's the description of jedit as shown in my Debian box

Code:

gacanepa@debian:~$ aptitude show jedit
Package: jedit
State: not installed
Version: 4.3.2+dfsg-3
Priority: optional
Section: editors
Maintainer: Debian Java Maintainers <pkg-java-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Uncompressed Size: 8,196 k
Depends: openjdk-6-jre | sun-java6-jre, java-wrappers (>= 0.1.14)
Description: A plugin-based editor for programmers
 As one of the most feature rich editors available, jEdit boasts support for syntax highlighting in more than 140 languages. jEdit
 combines the power of Emacs, the user-friendliness of Kate, and the advanced editing features (such as vertical paste) of Ultraedit,
 to bring you an open-source plugin-based programmer's editor of professional quality.

 It is possible to define complex macros in BeanShell or Jython, or other languages that fit into the BSF. jEdit offers a powerful and
 user-friendly keyboard mapping system (including 2-keystroke shortcuts), making it possible to give jEdit a very Emacs-like feel, if
 you so desire.

 Its functionality is easily extended by the use of 'plugins' which can be downloaded, updated, and installed, all without exiting the
 editor. These include a built-in Console shell integration, which lets you execute interactive external commands inside your editor,
 as well as bind them to keyboard shortcuts. The FTP plugin lets you browse and edit files on remote systems over FTP or SFTP. Other
 plugins provide shells, object oriented structure/code browsers, or completion popups for Java, XML, HTML, Ant, LaTeX, Python, Ruby,
 Perl, C, C++, bash, Scheme, Prolog, and many other languages.

SciTE does at least syntax colouring. I have not yet explored whether it is extensible to shift the edit session to display the line corresponding to a bash error message but it looks powerful and extensible.

I also use and recommend geany, it has syntax highlighting (the most important thing) and a few other useful features. I also use it as a text editor and for C programming.
