Kdevelop as a Rails IDE

Question

I would like to use Kdevelep as a Ruby on Rails IDE as I'm using Linux. How do I set up Kdevelop to enable this?

Answer 1

You could use Kdevelop or Kate, although I don't know that there is a big community of support for these editors. If you are on Linux you are best to check out VIM, it's the 2nd most popular editor for Ruby/Rails (with Textmate being #1).

There is a really good writeup on how to set-up VIM at:

If you use VIM with all the various tpope and NerdTree plugins you'll pretty much be set.
