It’s been my text editor of choice since I’ve started learning C.
I use the comment and quoter plugins quite often.
I also like how it points out little mistakes in my code as soon as I save it.
It’s only recently I found out about the built in command line by pressing meta+B
before that I used to have 2 windows open, 1 for editing, and one for compiling/executing
I’m guessing I’ll discover loads more nifty little features as I go along
Here to second micro. Being a recent-ish windows convert, shortcuts feel familiar. In complexity i’d place it below nano, and in productivity i’d place it in between nano and vi. And that’s fine for my use case. I actively search for it if (more like when) i’m stuck in command line.
Other than that i use Kate because it comes preinstalled.i don’t do coding so never needed something different.
Honestly? I use Joe. I grew up with Wordstar, and Joe has a delightful mode for us who still mourn the loss of that wonderful text editor. Joe is the first thing i install on any new setup. Sure I could use Vim, but Joe has twenty plus years of muscle memory you can’t quite shake.
I used to use a programm called Paperclip to word process, especially vs WordStar for speed - so I know what you mean! I haven’t touched that for years - but it wouldn’t take much doing to re-engrave it on my fingers…
Vim/Neovim. It’s a pain to learn but now I can’t imagine using anything else. Totally customizable and seemingly capable of just about anything you can think of.
