Programming and Scripting :: Favorite text editor?
I like JED. Works like emacs, but is smaller and faster.
I have tried VI several times, but just dont seem to get the hang of it.. If I have to I can edit with vi, but really rather not.
I prefer vim. It gives me anything that I would expect from a text editor and more By the way, have You tried to do a 'find text' in Beaver, is this so slow only on my computer or is it common ?
Has anyone tried to compile vim 6.4 with vimshell ??
vimshell
I'm planning to to compile it myself.
It is like vim-'window manager' , can't wait to use it.
And if there only was elinks.dsl... , yes I know there is links and glinks, but none of them has URI rewriting. I just like to type 'g' 'g' 'keyword' to find something on google, and I can have multiple shortcuts like the one above.
Like 'g' 'dsl' to go to DSL home page
And... sorry for the off-topic
you could make a bash function or script to launch links with a google search:
EDIT: scratch that...i posted a snippet before testing it...
Dear mikshaw,
that's not the functionality that I want.
In my opinion one of the greatest features of elinks that make it better than links2, glinks and links-hacked is that you can browse internet like this:
1. open elinks
2. press 'g' to get url box
3. type 'g keyword' in url box to start google search ( just an example, it can be anything you want)
4. press 'g' again and type 'dsl' to go to DSL Homepage
5. press 'g' and type 'fm' to go to freshmeat
6. and so on
You can set many shortcuts like the ones above, they can be set to get you to a site or can accept additional parameter, to create personalised search engines. You can get the same feature in Firefox ( i guess ) and in Opera 9. It's like 'search box' in address bar but IMHO it's better because you have faster access to many search engines and don't have to select different one each time you use 'search box' .
OK, this is getting too long even for an off-topic I guess
I've read that in links-hacked you can get similiar functionality with 'links lua' but can't get it to work
PS. And of course I still prefer vim.
If you're going to be in the command line you dont need anything more than nano
