UltraEdit is a powerful editor for windows. I have successfully run it and its installer under wine. You might want to consider that. For a linux app there is Kate. Its basically the same as kde's advanced editor with a more features. I dont know what version of KDE you have installed, but the latest version of KDE's advanced editor seems to have all the features you requested. Right clicking on the right side of a line of text moves the cursor to the end of that line of text, not where you clicked. You can change the font, and the CR/LF/CRLF stuff.
