An IDE with debugger that uses less than 256MB of your memory? D'oh. How much free memory do you have? I guess you're running windows and then maybe some services, apache, have one or two browser tabs open...

I don't think and IDE is the right choice for you, if you can't get a better machine.

I'd go with a lightweight but good editor like notepad++ and do the debugging with FirePHP. Allthough already Firefox, Firebug and FirePHP could get you to the limit.

PSPad does not have a debugger but otherwise is quite speedy.

I encourage you to use Zend studio, Eclipse or Netbeans. They may be very bloated and look very slow. They still are faster because of the shortcuts build in.

Eclipse

  • Ctrl + Shift + R : Open file
  • Ctrl + O : search method in class defenition
  • Ctrl + . : Jump to next error
  • Ctrl + , : Jump to prev error
  • Ctrl + h : Search workspace
  • Ctrl + k : Jump to next occurence
  • Ctrl + shift + f : Format code
  • Ctrl + l : Jump to line

Netbeans

  • Alt + shift + o : Open file
  • Alt + shift + f : format code
  • Ctrl + shift + f : search workspace
  • Ctrl + r : refactor variable

neither of those will work acceptably with 256 mb.

When you mention Eclipse: Aptana is great "distribution" for Eclipse. But I still prefer NetBeans, much more polished.But as ax suggested neither of those will run on the machine written above.
Josef Sábl
Vim requires a fraction of the resources any of these do and has these shortcuts and more.

@Lucas Oman. In eclipse you can specify the editor to be VIM. You will have the power of both worlds
