VIM editor

Post by revelator »

cant seem to find the thread where someone wanted to use vim as a quakec editor so ill post here in case others might find it usefull.

http://www.2shared.com/file/Hh-7qs6J/Vim.html

freshly compiled version with python perl ruby and cscope support :)

cscope might be handy when editing quakec since it parses all calls of some function to another so its real easy to find instead of having to remember where everything is ;)

its normally intended for C/C++ but i found it could even parse basic functions to some degree so have a go at it :)

i included both the gui and the textmode version and an abundance of plugins. theres also an inf for installing it as default editor and a reg if you just want it in the context menu.

Hi. I use vim with ctags for a long time. But cscope is certainly more powerful tool. Thanks for tip!
Also, I use C/C++ syntax highlighting for qc files and it looks just fine...

Vim is great. It's programmable editing approach reminds me of Blender (pressing "s10" You scale selected object 10 times).

Don't sweat it :) I bet half of the world thinks we speak russian in czech rep. I don't blame them, it's same language family after all... But we don't use that wacko russian alphabet :)

vim is primary intended to be just editor, but it's SO flexible and programmable, that you can make whole IDE out of it. Also, there is gvim - GUI version of it!

I když naše řeč je ruštině pro cizince asi hodně podobná. :)
(Foreigners found our language similar to russian, I guess.)

And it has easy mode.

True. Do You know about some other frontend other than gVim?

It would be cool to have vims IDE similar to that of NetBeans or Eclipse.

Author of Vim recommend how to edit more efficiently

OFFTOPIC: (I am testing Aptana Studio 3 for coding Javascript and it looks as nice IDE.)

geany http://www.geany.org/

primarily an editor but actually usable as an ide :)

also has numerous plugins for all kinds of stuff like latex / ghostscript / java etc.

it uses gtk2 but if i remember correctly the installer installs the runtime
also.

or relo (one of the older) http://www.fifsoft.com/relo/

started out as an ide for borlands free 5.5 compiler. new version also handles mingw / cygwin / watcom.

then there is codelite http://www.codelite.org/ which started out as a plugin for source highlighting but soon became its own ide.

primarily uses mingw but can use pretty much any compiler. even NET.

codelite comes with cscope/ctags default.
