Good source code editor?
« on: February 17, 2008, 11:35:38 PM »
Okay, the last bit of HSPascal I was using is now dead to me:  The IDE doesn't work in OS4.

So, what's a good editor that will work in OS4 for editing source code?

Basically, I need:
-  Automatically open the files I'm working on at startup
-  Ability to set and go to 'bookmarks' without using the mouse
-  Ability to open a duplicate window (of the current file) without using the mouse
-  Hopefully some automatic window arranging
-  Runs on it's own *public* screen (so I can run a shell on that screen too)
-  Lots and lots of keyboard shortcuts!  Especially good text manipulation ones.
-  Ability to jump to a line by line number
-  Line number/character number display
-  Automatic indenting

What I don't need:  Special C source code functionality.  I don't code in C, C+, C++, C#, C*, C-, whatever.

Well, in HSPascal, let's say, you go to line 153, character 8, and set Bookmark #8.  Now, you go somewhere else, then, call up Bookmark #8, and BAM, you're back on line 153, character 8.  And, you can automatically go to the last changed character, too.  I think they took this from the TurboPascal IDE.  I seem to remember in that one you could automatically go to the last cursor position too, which was helpful.

Where can I get a demo version of CygnusEd newer than 1987?  I'd sure like to try it out before I commit to buying it.

Where can I find CubicIDE at all?

Sometimes this act stems from the simple fact that a person is required to stare at a computer screen for 8 hours a day for 260 or more days per year. Symptoms include loss of vision from macular decay, increased procrastination to get projects done on time, and heart palptations from too much coffee.

There appears to be a very new version, just no demo for it.  The only demo I can find is from 1987 and on Aminet.

 !  I hate that IDE.  I used to have to use it for a living.

I still can't even cross-compile for OS3 with OS4!  The OS3 version of 'as' crashes under OS4, and I can't compile a 68k version of 'as' for OS4, because the configure script for binutils locks up my Amiga!

I'm going to try as many as I can, I plan on sticking with whichever I choose for a LONG time :-)

Well, so far I'm not liking CygnusEd.  5 seconds into it and it's inserting garbage characters and copies of my text as I type.

Other than that, it seems to have some nice features.
It sure would take a while to get used to the weird non-standard window layout, although I'm not sure it's really a bad thing.

It does support 'bookmarks', only they're called 'marks'.  And, I don't see a way to quickly display a second copy of the same file without loading it from disk as a seperate file.

Selecting text is kind of a pain.
And, there it is.  I just crashed it.  Got a DSI trying to select text.  I guess I can't say I didn't see it coming.

I wouldn't be completely surprised.

But, are you running the v5 demo?

I just tried and I can't make it crash again.  But, I always get garbage characters when I edit the last line of the file.
