[Capistrano] Re: Editor for Capistrano
Hi Thanks for the replies, I am not yet ready to give up on vi/vim but thought it worth asking. Maybe a bigger problem for me is not the editor but the environment or lack of understanding in how to use it. I got used to pressing F9 or Ctrl+F9 to run/compile code while using Delphi and I really liked the integration and abbility to step through my code. At the moment I have a putty session for my various files I edit using tabs in vi, and a putty session running screen for the servers I deploy to using capistrano and a third putty session for executing my capistrano tasks. This works relatively well but I would welcome other suggestions for env improvements or being more effective. I find screen very usefull but it breaks some of the bash keybindings which I use often. I know I can change the keybindings but I want to stay standard to easily adapt to new environments.

[Capistrano] Re: Editor for Capistrano
I forgot to mention two other things that I found extremely usefull in Delphi... that I miss in vi an easy way via keyboard shorcut to jump to the function/procedure definition and the ability to dig into the code... if I used a pre-declared function/variable/constant I could jump to the piece of code where it was declared even if it weren't part of my application which was powerfull and an excellent way to learn.

Vim can do that, too. Read the vim help stuff about tags. I don't use it much now, but when I was writing Java code several years ago I used it all the time. - Jamis On 1/28/09 3:39 AM, Gerhardus Geldenhuis wrote: I forgot to mention two other things that I found extremely usefull in Delphi... that I miss in vi an easy way via keyboard shorcut to jump to the function/procedure definition and the ability to dig into the code... if I used a pre-declared function/variable/constant I could jump to the piece of code where it was declared even if it weren't part of my application which was powerfull and an excellent way to learn.
