I'm teaching (or trying to teach) computer programming to a grad-student. Her previous experience amounts to little more than writing spreadsheet formulae. Which IDE or text editor should I recommend? Please bear in mind that: I only meet my student about once a week. She uses Windows and I use Linux. She doesn't have a community of...
How can I copy a line 10 times easily in Emacs? I can't find a copy-line shortcut or function. I can use C-aC-spcC-eM-w to laboriously copy the line but how can I then paste it more than once? Any ideas before I go and write my own functions. ...
I got addicted to notepad++ on windows and I've recently moved to Ubuntu. I'm missing a tool as such. ...
A good while ago, I read an article by the creator of viemu, clearing up a lot of the misconceptions about vi, as well as explaining why it's a good idea (and why it's been very popular for the last 30 years+). The same guy also has a great set of graphical cheat sheets that teach the basics a few bits at a time. I'm convinced. I've b...
I recently installed vim-enhanced , but I can't find any article/tutorial related to it.All I could find is a page that briefly describes it's new features , along with several RPM's to download . What exactly does it have to offer to scripting languages that regular vi/vim can't ? Thanks ...
I recently started using Eclipse at work for my Java servlet projects. I've been using jEdit for years, which is a uber-powerful text editor. It has syntax highlighting, but it doesn't have any language-specific features like code completion and intelligent refactoring. I'm finding that's hindering my productivity. I desperately want...
I am interested in what people use as their text editor, and would specifically like to know what is the feature of vim that you like the most? In answering, please state what you mostly use vim to do, sysadmin tasks, programming, and in what language you mostly program in. ...
If I open files I created in windows, the lines all end with ^M. How do I delete them all in once? ...
Some things that I personally find as shortcomings in the MATLAB Editor: virtually no code completion available does not run OS native (on MacOS) - but in X-Environment (shortcuts, copy&paste problems, keymappings, non intuitive window-managing) virtually no refactoring tools Are there alternative editors with these features? ...
I would like to modify some Derby DB's structure, do you know any good (multiplataform) editor for doing this? thanks! ...
I know there is nothing called the best Java IDE (eclipse, netbean,...) each one has its own speciality but when it comes the GUI Editor (visual Editor) there are some interesting items out there i would love to know which one is the most recomanded thanks I am not asking for a full IDE, i am sking about any GUI editor or plugin for a...
I want to ditch my current editor. I feel I need something else. That do not expose my hands to the risk of RSI. I need to see why I should change editor. And it would be nice to believe, that I will be coding when I'm 80 years old. All the big guys out there are using Vim. The only Emacs guy I know are RMS. Paul Graham is a Vi dude. ...
I saw this same question for VIM and it has been something that I myself wanted to know how to do for Emacs. In ReSharper I use CTRL-D for this action. What is the least number of commands to perform this in Emacs? ...
When defining or calling functions with enough arguments to span multiple lines, I want vim to line them up. For example, def myfunction(arg1, arg2, arg, ... argsN-1, argN) The idea is for argsN-1 to have its 'a' lined up with args1. Does anyone have a way to have this happen automatically in vim? I've seen the align p...
What is the best C++ IDE or editor for using on Windows? I use Notepad++, but am missing IntelliSense from Visual Studio. ...
What would be a good alternative to Visual Studio ? Free or non-free, but a free program definitely makes a better choice. So what do you guys use ? If anything like that exist... ...
Hi, i've been programming a while in D (http://www.digitalmars.com/d/) now. I prefer it to Java because it is faster. However, i have not found an Editor that supports Code-Completion and Debugging (Step-Over, Step-Into, Breakpoints,...). Do you have any suggestions? P.S: gdb did not work. ...
When I use CTRL+h I end up on the Java Search tab. I would very much like a shortcut to go directly to filesearch instead. Is that possible? EDIT: It turns out that there exists a general preference - "Keys" - where you give "File search" a hot key. Eclipse Ganymede doesnt have any "include unbound commands" checkbox, but that doesnt ...
I use maxframe.el to maximize my Emacs frames. It works great on all three major platforms, except on my dual-head Mac setup (Macbook Pro 15-inch laptop with 23-inch monitor). When maximizing an Emacs frame, the frame expands to fill the width of both monitors and the height of the larger monitor. Obviously, I would like the frame t...
I am a recovering Emacs user, who is trying to ease into Eclipse usage. (Since I'm encouraging the rest of the team to use it, I guess I should at least try to get along). My current excuse is that it hurts my eyes. I'm currently using the excellent zenburn theme in emacs, and would love to find it for eclipse. However, I find that chan...
