One of the reasons I usually don't use an IDE for development is that I'm so used to vi keybindings that I usually end up messing up my text and putting in lots of ":w"s, and I can't use vi's powerful regex replace mechanism. Are there any IDEs that allow you to configure vi keybindings or use vi as the editor within the IDE? Related: ...
OK, so this is the background... I'm going to manually fix the multiple resource header files in our project. That involves fixing this value, among other things: #define _APS_NEXT_SYMED_VALUE ... that is automatically written to in (normally) resource.h. It's documented as having this purpose: _APS_NEXT_SYMED_VALUE is the next symb...
What steps do I take? Any gotchas to be aware of or tips to enhance the IDE experience that are specific to SQL Server when using Emacs? ...
In some editors there exist plugins implementing a feature called "hungry backspace" or "hungry delete". If this mode is active in a text editor then one hit to the backspace key will automatically delete all whitespace chars backwards from the current cursor position up to the first non-whitespace character. For example, this feature ...
The Visual Basic 6.0 IDE checks for syntax errors on-the-fly. Every time it finds a syntax error, it pops up an alert dialog. This feature is driving me crazy, as every time I try to cut and paste in the middle of typing a statement, I have to deal with this pop-up. Is there any way to disable this on-the-fly syntax checking? ...
So, up until today, when I tried to edit a read only file in VS2008, a dialog popped up giving me three options: Edit in memory Make writable Save a copy There was also a checkbox which read "Never allow in memory edits". Suddenly, it has stopped offering these options and simply will not accept any input in the editor window if the...
What is a good Scheme IDE for Windows? OK, I'll admit it; I'm not at RMS's level, and don't want to use Emacs or any character-based interface -- I want a graphic IDE with colorization, a REPL, and usable, in-line help for a specific, well-documented dialect of Scheme. I have searched around and PLT Scheme/DrScheme seems the best, but ev...
I'm a c# developer but have a job that involves some jsp code. I've been using notepad++ which does a great job in highlighting but I'm missing the intellisense and find it difficult to find the methods I need. What is a good jsp IDE for someone coming for C# that has intellisense? Update I tried eclipse and idea but both interfaces ...
There are many editions of Eclipse for Java development. I am trying out MyEclipse and am pretty impressed with the out-of-box experience. Before I get too comfortable with it, I would like to find out if it is the best edition available. Feel free to list free or commercial packages, but for the sake of other readers, please mention ...
I was always wandering why it is a big deal having version control support inside an IDE. I always preferred to use commandline/standalone version of version control of choice, and never found IDE integration helpful. I know it can be helpfull sometimes, for example to automatically keep track of renames, but I was bitten by version c...
The team in which I work has been getting problems with the visual inheritance of the forms in the Java platform. We want to develop a base JFrame with some controls in it and to have inherited forms from that base JFrame. The designer of the Netbeans 6.1 does not paint the controls of the base form in the inherited ones, so we can´t us...
Hi guys, At home and work I use VS2008. As I've only ever used Visual Studio for .NET development, I would like to expand my horizons and see what else there is on offer as an alternative to it. So what in your opinion is the best alternative to Visual Studio? Is there a viable alternative? ...
I want to play around a bit with FLASH for app development. I'm looking for a good IDE for that. Someone suggested Flash Develop. ...
It's hard to express how much grief and ire Zend has caused me already. The sheer amount of bugs is overwhelming. Maybe I'm just technically-impaired with everything Zendy, but I find it practically impossible to work on a remote server. What with the sudden hangs, the pop-up errors that seem to have nothing to do with what you're wor...
I am looking for a good Environment (GUI based Editor) for blackberry webapps. e.g., is there a Eclipse plugin out there ? ...
I'm sick of waiting hours for Flash to publish. .NET / VisualStudio projects are WAAAAY faster - is that only compiling the classes that have changed? Update: Does the Flash IDE re-encode all your sounds and images every time you publish? Can't it cache them somewhere? ...
what tool do you use if you want to synchronise a workspace between two PC's? For example you have a work PC and a laptop and would like to switch easily between working on one and the other at the end of the day. The Work PC has network (subversion) access, and the laptop does not so I am looking for some way to synchronise files betwe...
I have CustomForm inherited from Form which implements a boolean property named Prop. The forms I'll be using will inherit from CustomForm. This property will do some painting and changes (if it's enabled) to the form. However, this is not working as it should, the VS IDE designed is not being refresh to show the changes. But if I press ...
At home, I use CTRL+SHIFT+B or F7 or whatever key sequence initiates the build for my build tool. At work, this doesn't quite cut it. At my first job (an internship) we used a product called Visual Build, which I have come to like very much. It's the best build tool I've ever worked with. The down side here is that it's not free. At...
Does anyone know how to move the "Solution Explorer" tab in Visual Studio 2005? It's on the left, and I can't move it to the right. Thanks, Alan ...
