Text editor discussion

>an entire web browser for a text editor
scum

The editor you use doesn't matter or mean anything about you.

Starting to realize that maybe all those months spent learning, memorizing and practicing commands and keybindings for a fucking text editor could have been spent a little bit more interestingly?

Why use vim over nano when writing to remote documents?

What does Jow Forums think of Geany?

it's so obscure it doesn't even fall in the list

'' month to learn shortkey '' wtf

meme arrowing at its finest my dude

what does people have against notepad++ ? it's way more powerful than anything linshit has to offer.

sane person level should actually be joe, just as simple as nano except it's actually useful

>windows software as a work tool
no thanks

why don't lintards just admit it? you don't give a fuck about the functionality of the text editor, you just want it to be as obscure as possible and as painful to use as possible, preferably running iin a console with all keyboard commands and no interface.

>no interface
>implying that an interface is actually needed
>not taking advantage of the glorious keyboard shortcuts in order to be as fast as no UI would ever let you be
You must be at least 18 years old to post here

you literally did not say you use nano to be productive and say you're the sane one
christ this board sometimes

nano for linux related configurations.
geany for .config, .json, .xml, .yaml, etc.
A proper IDE for coding.

False. 4channel is family friendly.

I use scite, fucking use it, it is awesome

you have contributed absolutely nothing to this "discussion"

It's much quicker to edit with.

Kate is pretty much just a better notepad++

>not using nano for all file extensions
kek

hey how about people use whatever they want

for me, it's neovim.

Thoughts on Notepadqq?

Normal people: VS Code
Because you realized that using terminal text editor in year 2018/2019 is autistic and that you want to do your work efficiently and comfortably so you chose VS Code and move to do other things in your life

Where is ed? I don't see ed anywhere in this thread. Ed is the standard editor.

IDEs make you dumb dumb

I'm using VS Code with Notepad++ keymaps because I'm not on the spectrum

I dont disagree. I stopped using IDEs after my first real interview. They had me complete test in notepad and I realized how dependant I was on shit like autocomplete. I use notepad or gedit now.

The only thing I use a plain text editor for is as an extended Clipboard for medium-term storage. All it needs is tons of tabs, syntax highlighting/collapsing and to STOP FUCKING TURNING MY "Save Backups" SETTINS OFF EVERY TIME I UPDATE.

it takes a few minutes to get used to vim. Have fun opening >5GB text files without your browser, I mean text editor, crashing or taking minutes to open.

emacs + evil mode > *

I don't get the autism for nano. It's hot garbage and I would sooner opt for vi over it.

Remember that GNU Emacs was created by a jew and the vim BDFL works for (((Google))).

GNU Emacs started as a fork. Besides, Stallman is a self-hating Jew.

Kate and sublime, because I don't wanna waste my time with obsolete text editors, to look cool on the internet and instead focus on my projects

Based and katepilled.

The fact that you don't know them well enough to use them effectively doesn't mean they're shit

Nano is "I'm too dumb to learn vi/emacs but I still want to look 1337 using a terminal text editor like the cool guys in the desktop thread" tier.

Nobody ever uses nano as more than a simple config file editor in remote servers.

Oh no, now we have to download and install extensions manually. THE HORROR.
Even despise this semi-downside, it's still far better than archaic competition like vim or emacs simply because it's open-source and more importantly intuitive and easy to learn/use.

What really is the issue that you and others have with Emacs?

people hate and fear those that are better than them

>tfw you use an "Other" tier editor

I agree with you, I used vim half a year and started to doubt if it's actually any more efficient than standard text editing combos combined with Sublimes own spice. I really loved tho how Vim worked with my minimal workflow, too bad its a shit editor.

vim is bloat, use vi

I use vim when doing something serious or editing config files

Kate if it's just randomly writing an actual .txt file

wtf im switching to emacs now

How do you get good at vim, lads?

I want to impress my coworkers

Run the vim tutor. When you encounter a situation you think you could do faster, look for a solution. Don't just copy that solution, instead read it and try to understand how it works. Write sticky notes or some kind of abbreviated note with reminders on how to do things (How do I open/move to/close new buffers? How do I fold and unfold blocks?)

For example, to comment multiple selected lines you do the following:

Move cursor to start of line
Press CTRL+V
Select first character of every line
Press Shift+I
Insert comment character (It only appears on the line the cursor is on)
Esc (it now applies to all lines)

What do these things do? Why does it work? It's an amalgamation of smaller, easier to understand commands that solve a complex task together.

I want to reply to OP
>it doesn't matter, whichever allows you to be productive
But the data doesn't support that. From the same article, people writing in Go had a freakishly high success rate as well.
So while your choice of editor usually doesn't effect your productivity, it might effect your habits, way of thinking, and overall skills over time.
I think there's something about having to fuck around with plugins / packages which helps you understand things (your language and system, mainly), in a way which IDEs or notepad-ish editors don't

Never use arrows keys to move.
Turn on relative number so you can move faster by putting j or k.
w to move forward one word. b to move back one back.
use d with any movement command to delete up to the point you would move to with that command. many other commands like y work that way.
i to insert before character, a to insert after, I to insert in the beginning of the line, A to insert at the end of the line.
v, shift v and ctrl shift v for different visual select modes. can be used for mass editing, deleting, or copying.

It's probably because most people that use emacs are older and experienced programmers.

That gif is clearly an Emacs user.

I use wordgrinder

I want to make an editor that is nano/vim-esque

I imagine that people who use emacs successfully also tend to RTFM instead of hitting Google every time they have a problem.

>sublime
ok pajeet

I'd put it as the biggest contributor

microsoft = pajeet

Literally just a worse version of nano.
