Checking out Sublime Text, and it does, indeed look pretty cool. However -- opened up my first Python file: colorizing, auto-completion, nift stuff did some indenting -- AARRGG! tabs!!! with tabs set to 4 spaces! Surprising given the python scripting.... So I went into the preferences, and changed: "translate_tabs_to_spaces": true, but I couldn't see how to do that in a language-specific way -- i.e I definatly want that in Python ,but may not in other modes. I also found: "indent_to_bracket": true, which I think is what I want... So -- much better, but still not great indenting support: I really want <tab> to mean: "indent this line right"-- funny how the little things make a difference. (NOTE; Peppy does this very well, as I think emacs does, but many editors do not) Now I need to look for iPython integration -- I see various posts about it on the web, but it's not clear if anyone has it working well. I also note that it used different key bindings on different platforms -- darn! that's a pain, one of things I look for in an editor is that it works the same everywhere (and works everywhere) I think I'll give it a try for real work, though. -Chris > > Another thing to consider is Sublime Text 2 can be extended via a plugin > architecture using Python if you want or need to tweak / customize it's > feature set. > > The core app was written in C++, so it's pretty much smoking fast compared > to some of the other Python editors. > > Plus there are a bunch of open source plugins to use as well. > > It runs on Mac, Linux and Windows, and your license allows you to run on any > or all of the OS's that you need too as I recall. > > For $60 it's a real good value and the developer keeps pounding away at > making it better. > > -Kevin > > > > Kevin LaTona > STUDIO SOLA > Web | Mobile Development > Seattle WA USA > > http://kevinlatona.com/ > http://studiosola.com/ > http://linkedin.com/in/kevinlatona > > > > > > > > -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [email protected]
