Have you tried vim

[pitupepito2000]

Hi,

I'm posting this because a lot of users probably haven't tried it. If you haven't you don't know what you're missing. It provides you with so many features for editing. It focuses on being efficient for editing.

Here's a linky where you can get it from:
http://www.vim.org/

Second best editor ever.

Oh yeah, wrong forum.

 

[helpme]

I use it everyday

 

[Chaotic42]

Meh.

I give it a thumbs up. I like jed for regular editing better.

 

[bootymac]

I thought you were talking about the Vim cleaner, and that thing is also BADASS.

VI and/or VIM > emacs

I use vim all the time.
try typing
:syntax on
it highlights perl, verilog, etc.
There is also gvim

 

[n0cmonkey]

vi > vim

I'm actually thinking about learning emacs. vi is great for simple configuration files and coding and whatnot, but emacs looks like it might be better for actual writing. Not sure though. Gonna play with it for a while.

I messed with VI a long time ago to write HTML, but then I got spoiled with Coffee Cup HTML Editor +++.

I'm getting into some serious scripting at work and so far only using notepad. I may have to look at vim.

 

[kevman]

pico > vi/vim.

 

[oboeguy]

Wait, there's something other than emacs out there? :Q

Seriously, there are people out there who live in emacs... "M-x shell".

vi... <shudder> What does vim offer over the original?

syntax highlighting
multiple levels of undo
colors

Probably a bunch of other things, but I don't use it often.

The emacs vs vi debate is silly. vi is just a text editor.

pico is non-free, and doesn't seem to have any of the advanced features of vi.

Pine is non-free also.

nano is GPLed.

I thought about posting in another forum, but figured that a lot of people in this forum probably wouldn't even know about it, and that's why I posted it.

By my status as an elitist a-hole, I had to mention this was in the wrong forum. Obviously that fact has not kept me from participating.

It's still the wrong forum.
