That is because of the filter command in ed, vi, vim, You can start programs running using the filter command in ed, vi, or vim, and if the program misbehaves, you can kill it without killing your editor.

Someone above said they don't like editors that won't die when you press Ctr-C.

Not so good if you are on Windows I imagine. This is good if you are on Linux and know it well or want to know it well. It has a filter command and with it all the programs that are installed on Unix/Linux become your IDE. The reason ed(1) is so simple is because it doesn't replicate anything that is already offered by the OS. ed(1) is so simple it has just 8 man pages and no config file, by comparison to master vim, you must read > 2000 pages. Then I got the simple bug due to the Handmade Hero influence and and moved to ed(1) which is vi's predecessor, vi is vim's predecessor. I was always thinking about what keys to push next. I used vim for a couple of years, but found it too complicated and never got good with it. See this thread from an old emacs fan who damaged her hands: I have tried many simple/IDE editors and I always return to vim.Įmacs I would advise against. But as you can see, Casey's productivity is far high using it. ed, vi, vim, if you know all three you will have a familiar editor on every platform.Īs much as I try, I would never be as fast as Casey using any editor.Īs emacs. Some programmers are just passing ships in the night on the OS they use, so they learn the editors that will always be there. Cross platform programmers don't want to learn a new editor every time they switch platform. The reason vim is one of the most popular editors, is because you can find it on every platform. Ow! I just cut myself on the edginess of your posts. His productivity with emacs isn't noticeably higher than any other programmer using any other common text editor. In other words, vim is a cult for people who succumb easily to the sunk cost fallacy.Īs emacs. Isn't it easy to start, since it's too different of actual paradigm of "code editors".
#GEANY EDITOR FORUM INSTALL#
I haven’t install Wine.BTW, vim isn't a editor to "try" you pick it and use it for life. Both of them take a lot of memory and I’m still not used to them. I have a habit to name my Folder and Files name with the long name so, when I change my directory, I need to type it again or use arrow keys (it’s still annoying).Ĭan anyone suggest me what Text Editor that similar to TextPad? Or, is there any plug-in for JEdit so, I can compile and run without through terminal? Please, do not suggest me to use IDE such as Eclipse or even Netbeans. I’m not really enjoying the UI and even the worst part, I need to compile and run through terminal. I tried to use JEdit, but I was not comfortable with it even until now.

When I tried to save a file, the following message popped up: Error saving file. Since I installed jdk into my first distro (it works prefectly fine), I did realize that JEdit was installed simultaneously. 1 Sep-20-2018, 12:47 AM Im very new at Python and the Geany text editor.
#GEANY EDITOR FORUM CODE#
Usually, on Windows, I am using TextPad to write Java code as I can compile and run Java using TextPad (not through command line).

Firstly, I am really new in Linux and openSuse 11.2 is my first distro.
