Hello listers. I have a few questions related to programming on the mac. I frequently code in C, C++, Python and Java, and I often come across situations where I have to edit configuration files for a few applications, etc. 1. what is the best editor or IDE? I have tried using vim from the terminal but, I face a difficulty in navigating around the text and editing it. VO reads some text, when I take the curser to the place I want to edit and Hit the delete key, text from else where gets deleted. Am I doing something wrong? Is there any way to use xCode to open a blank file, code in the language I prefer(at least C ), and run the code? I guess doing this would help me use the auto complete features of xCode. 2. how do I edit configuration files using text edit or some other GUI editor? sinse vim was not of any help to me, I tried to edit configuration files in textedit using the open command from the terminal. but, in come cases, after editing, I get an error while saving saying " you don't own this file ". I am in the " sudo su " mode, stil I get this error. I request you to give your valuable suggestions or workarounds at the earliest as I am unable to do my course assignments and loosing grades. Thank you in advance. Cheers Venkatesh Potluri
