Never, but I used vi a couple of days ago.  What else to use when you have

Once you have learned it for that purpose, you find it surprisingly usable
for others  But the editor I really like is Geany.

I use Textmate on the Mac and its clone E editor on the PC for everything
like this. I am sure the free Text Wrangler on the mac.

 It pays to learn emacs or vi, since you'll probably be using ssh to

Since it started as a fork of MC's open source editor, my custom text 
editor originally had support for emacs key bindings.  But recently I 
was cleaning up the code and opted to remove that support, since I've 
not come across anyone (except Scott Raney g) who's used emacs in the 
last decade.


How often do you use emacs?

Do others here use it?

How essential would you consider the option of supporting emacs key

Richard,

I dont think it is feasible to support emacs keybindings on a custom  
editor, they are deeply related to emacs workflow. It is easier to  
support GNU nano (aka pico) keys, they are easy and simple


Cheers

Oh, those. Yeah, my dad had one. He sold it years ago.

sorry.  I must have used it in the early 80s on my Beehive terminal but...

The MC IDE did a good enough job to satisfy uber-geek Raney. :)  He had 
a lot of code all over the place to change menu keys, field behaviors, 
blind searches, etc., and of course switched the engine's global 
property emacsKeyBindings to true.


I don't have enough experience with emacs to weigh in on how complete 
his support was, and until I come across others who use emacs I'm 
inclined to just let it go.


But it's one of those things that if it's as simple as flipping a global 
prop and modifying a few handlers it might make a nice bullet point - 
provided anyone might actually use it, of course.

I use emacs every day. It's my editor of choice for editing html, text 
and (for now at least) .irev files.


When (if) tRev gets support for editing script files like irev (and 
assuming it has the kind of revtalk features I'd expect) then I will 
most likely switch to it for 95% of editing .irev files, and only use 
emacs occasionally. I'll still use it for text, html, etc.


essential ?  No.
very nice ?  Yes.

I haven't tried your custom editor, or indeed MC, but I assume it's only 
basic emacs key bindings that are supported. If you have support for by 
example  macro definition, programmable macros, etc. then I am *truly* 
impressed  :-)   But even basic key bindings / features is pretty 
helpful - that lets me think about what text I want, and my fingers make 
it happen without the brain being involved.

Re: [OT] JavaScript editor?

Aptana is based on Eclipse. So how you like aptana is based on how you
like Eclipse. It is a robust product and their free offering is very
nice. I've installed it here but still, a simple text editor like
TextMate does the trick for me.

aptana: http://www.aptana.com

I think that more important than the javascript editor, it to decide
on javascript libraries to use or create your own. Javascript still
just text, but for us, used to xTalk, it can be a lot of text and
techniques to do the most simple things we take for granted. So the
base library is very important.

 You can get one of several editors for use with Firefox, all of which

Re: [OT] JavaScript editor?

TextMate for creating javascript files (TextMate is like BBEdit but cheaper)
Firebug for debugging them.
Panic Coda is a nice all-in-one solution, but I don't use it.

It pays to learn emacs or vi, since you'll probably be using ssh to
the server and thats is probably what you'll have in there.

Good javascript libraries in AFO (Andre's Favorite Order): ExtJS 2.0,
MochiKit, Scriptaculous, YUI, Dojo.

Keep this near your radar, new version of ECMAScript is getting ready
and will support some very nice things. Current version of javascript
supports continuations which makes easier to build web apps.
