Hello! I've been crossing things out on my TODO list. I've recently picked up Colemak. Next I wanted to learn Vim or Emacs. I was leaning towards Vim, however one of its benefits are sticking to the home row. With Colemak, the home row has been changed. I realize that I could remap the keys, but assigning the functionality to diffe...

I am starting to learn the Clojure programming language. Are there any recommendations for Clojure editors/IDEs on Mac OS X?

My Visual Studio (2008) Editor has stopped to underline Errors (this nifty wavy red lines). I can't really tell when, but it can be related to the installation of .Net Framework 3.5 SP 1 or the MVC Beta (which I guess is unlikely). Furthermore have I installed and uninstalled both CodeRush and Resharper for evaluation purposes (decided n...

I'm looking for an alternative, since I find emacs difficult to use. I'd rather use an editor that supports all the usual shortcuts I'm used to, such as arrow keys to move the cursor around, CTRL+SHIFT+RightArrow to select the next word, etc. Basically, I don't want to have to relearn all my familiar shortcuts just so I can use emacs. ...
Hi, I'm trying to find an editor (or some simple JavaScript - preferably jQuery) that will allow me to edit the contents of a textarea.

I like them a lot because it's pretty easy to work with them (once you learn how) and make the editing bulletproof. One of the things that I'm storing in my configuration are Python scripts. It's possible to edit a Python script in a StringColle...
