Programmes editor

Hi there,

just wondering, I am looking for a good programmers editor, I use vim now, but for programming it isn't ideal, I tried emacs, but the two editors have the same disadvatages (both came from shell editors where the are very good, but I want gui when programming) any ideas? I use kde, so a kde editor would be great.
Now I use kwrite as programmers editor, but I am looking for one to do automatic indentation (also when I place a closing bracket '}' it should jump back) A function list would be helpfull, but integration with make etc isn't necessairy. What are you using? What about Kate or KDevelop?

And don't flame about emacs or vim!

Hi,

Well.. Kate seems good... nice and fast... but if you want a full IDE you should go with KDevelop... I also heard that you can use vim as the editor in KDevelop (best of both worlds?) but have not tried it myself...

I myself use emacs|vim most of the time

If you want a GUI when programming, you could always use gvim, as it sounds like you're most used to it.

There is a "kvim" KPart being developed for use in i.e. KDevelop (among many other KDE apps), but I don't know how far along it is.

I use VIM and this script for programming... For me, it works well:

Hope this isn't too OT but...

XEmacs is actually a very modern IDE--the problem is that most of the cool IDE-type features are turned off by default. If you're interested, check out func-menu and some of the other extensions. I think someone posted about a nifty java ide extension in one of the recent vi vs emacs vs ... threads as well.

ive used kdvelope before and it worked nicly for me the makefile generation and doc skeletons were kinda snappy for whipping out projects

They're fast, and KDevelop is very nice, but the one thing I didn't like KDevelop was how hard it was to specify multiple build targets. For the project I'm working on now, I've had to generate three shared libraries and a main executable; I couldn't find a way to do that in KDevelop. So I went back to manual Makefile generation

i used to use joe, but now im hooked by vim. if you definately need a gui, i dont know what to say, but if you're looking for something that is nice (extremely easy to use, but without syntax highlighting), i would use joe.

Hi, I'm looking for a good (free) php editor that will run nicely on Gentoo w/ KDE 3. Does anyone have any suggestions? A good editor is one with syntax highlighting, function/class/method auto completion, project management, etc.

Is there anyone developing php applications on Gentoo? What are you using?

I'd appreciate any ideas. Thanks!

Defenately emacs with php-mode. You can get php-mode here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=18584

Put:
(load "/home/you/.emacs.d/php-mode-102.el")
(require 'php-mode)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.php$" . php-mode) )
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.php$" . php-mode)auto-mode-alist))

in your .emacs file.

try nedit, and down load the pat file (pattern file) from nedit for php (php4).
Vi/VIM both have syntax highlighting for php.
If you use Nedit, to incorporate the php pat file, run it from the command line first:
nedit -import nameofpatfile
then save the defaults and it'll be there for ever and ever and ever...okay at least until you remove the nedit files from your $home.

Get Quanta+, its in portage already!

It runs in KDE, it has syntax highlighting and its not only PHP3/4, it does javascript and html and CSS as well.

The ultimate Web development IDE.

and its not one of those wysiwyg editors either

I use nedit everyday :-]
its really cool : macro support, perl like regexp, ()/[] matching, etc...
also note that there is a php-html pattern to have highlighting for php and html at the same time...

i think Vim is the right way to go.. you learn how to use it once and use it for the rest of your life.

works on every platform. if you are ever stuck with some computer and you dont know what is available you can always drop to Vi and use it. Having experience with before hand will give you a great advantage.

in short, Vim is great, IMHO.

dont listen to these ppl

you want a GUI, project manager, upload wizzard, syntax highlighting, auto-completion, easy preview all in a nice KDE3 window, Quanta+ is the way to go.

I promise you wont be dissapointed
