Hi, all, management summary/TL;DR: what (non-emacs) programming editor do you *nix users use for hacking on fossil?
Details... as of tomorrow it will be 6 months since my medical leave started for an inflamed elbow nerve (caused by too much typing), and i will finally be returning to work and FOSS (in a reduced capacity at first) as of June 22nd :). (That Fossil starts with FOSS is purely coincidental... never noticed until now.) As part of that, as much as i hate it, i am going to have to drop emacs. My symptoms have been 95% restricted to my 2 left-most fingers, namely those which operate Shift and Ctrl (emacs being very ctrl-centric and programming making heavy use of Shift for symbols). (Yes, there are shift/ctrl on the right-hand side, but my muscle memory refuses to be re-trained in that regard.) Rather than simply customizing emacs to no end i am looking for educated suggestions regarding an exceptional (but non-emacs-like) programmer's editor. Of course, there's vi[m] and friends, but it's been 20 years since i've even bothered to look at other editors than emacsen, and am somewhat hoping that someone can point me to a good non-vi/non-emacs programming editor/environment. Requirements: - must run on linux. Need not be a console app, but that's a slight plus. - must be multi-buffer/tab capable. Completely customizable buffer splitting/sizing is a big plus (i normally split emacs into 3-5 visible buffers of various sizes and orientations). - incremental search (Ctrl-s) is a big plus. - shouldn't make over-use of ctrl. (Alt is okay because my thumb operates that one.) - must keep me in the editor (from switching apps/windows) as much as possible. e.g. the ability to compile (and, ideally, navigate build errors) at a keypress. - syntax highlighting is a must. (yes, i'm spoiled by that.) - don't really care which UI toolkit (if any) it uses. Any suggestions for kicking one of my longest-running habits (emacs) are much appreciated. (Maybe just use vi bindings in emacs?) -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
