How to use CKEditor as simple code/text editor?

Is it possible to use CKEditor as a simple code/text editor?

What I would like to provide to my users:
- html editing (CKEditor in rich text html mode)
- css editing (CKEditor in simple text mode)
I have separate html and css files.

I couldn't find a hook to start CKEditor in a "simple text mode".

Required features in "simple text mode" (wish list):
Save, Cut, Copy, Paste, Print, Undo, Redo, Find, Replace, SelectAll

Thanks for your support - Klaus.

Thats really the anti-thesis of what CK is for! There are editors that are designed for code editing though. Have a google
editarea

The idea was to have an identical UI for both tasks "html editing" and "css editing".
But I agree - it's better to use different editors.
separate file types = separate tasks = separate editors
EditArea seems to be a good choice.
Thanks for the response - Klaus
