Why would you want to read or change code in something that can't then be used to compile and test that code without a lot of extraneous setup and inadequate debugging? The stuff I do end up doing on the command-line on a remote, headless station is so minor that literally pico/nano will suffice. Use a proper IDE for programming, and a text editor for the log files, it's the only sensible way. I don't get the requirement for using a text editor for programming. You end up having to remember all the shortcut key sequences which reduces the so called friendly editor to being just a pale imitation of vi.īut if you can't find vi, ed's not bad either. GUIs and mice might be ever so beginner friendly, but all that moving hands around kills the productivity. Personally I hate the stupid PC keyboard layout because some damn fool idiot put the key out of reach, whereas an IFT keyboard had it just outside the left shift key within easy striking mode. But this proved to be its great strength because if you can touch type, even of the random finger selection kind then its bloody quick to use because you don't even have to move your hands. They wanted to be able to use it on all makes of terminal so didn't rely on their being buttons available for all the functions they wanted. With vi the commands are fed in with the keyboard, originally because that was all that was available. Well not many people have a telepathy interface, so you've got to find a way to feed the commands into the editor as well as the text. > having to type in the commands to control the app as well as type in the text i'm typing doesn't make life easier at all. Re: There is only one thing a text editor needs Wow, this is just 5% of what it can do and I just don't have an idea about it. **org-mode, info-mode, tex-mode, w3m-mode ( a decent web browser) and you-name-ti-mode I do like vim (vi is too plain), does vim have an emacs mode? -) ** hey, it got a vi emulation mode, viper-mode. **predefined highlighting and indentation, regex highlighting etc **dired-mode, where you can do operation on files and dirs (with tram-mode via ssh remotely) And hey, you can still run pari-gp, (i)maxima, octave in in its own buffer and yes run-shell on a region with dc? precision calculator that can integrate, differentiate, convert units etc. **running every command with M-x with an autocompletion ** collection of text killing macros, can your editor know what zap-to-char is anyone? Capitalize, change-toupper/lower and so on. **very smart keyboard shortcuts, which you can configure and customize to your own liking **run-shell command on a region with or without an argument (M-1) M-| I mean a buffer is implemented, special buffers **grep-mode, you do grep command and get a *grep* buffer with the list of matching lines hyper-linked to the place/file **incremental (regex) search, where you get search results for a pattern while you're typing it in configurable regex system Most of it is Elisp, it is modular and 145Mb really worth it! Here is why for me, personally: Printf "-\nTotal for emacs: %.3f Mb\n",sum/2^10īTW, why does ELReg text parser mutilate the text so bad and both pre,code tags are so ugly? First, think how much space does it take? How fast does it load? Run this( in Emacs with M-! or M-1 M-!)ĭpkg-query -Wf '$\n' |\ AMOF, I don't really play games in Emacs. Since, even if you use it, you don't really seem to know it. Then move your cursor over the corners of the square and watch the X,Y coordinates.Taking this as an insult. Ok, now let’s start off with a square, but before we get all random on this thing… Try putting in a simple, but rotated simple black square that is 100 pixel coordinate points wide by 100 pixel coordinate points high. Now you should have your nice little mouse cursor canvas coordinate helper back.
