Source Code Text Editor Suggestions

<< < (3/3)

CalYY:
Try Kon editor: file name tabs, can adjust character width for line numbers, syntax highlight for about 10 programming languages. Can create hotkey macros.

Zed, text mode has the nicest syntax highlight, custom macro keys. Line number on status bar either at top or bottom

I use both constantly.

Including project symbol find, rebuild with simple keystroke, jump to compile error with ctrl up/down (IIRC). But for simple editing tasks I use MED (config.sys, ... or simple one ore two C source file projects). MED is my default even when I'm searching in toolkit header files for some things (DataSeeker) and with one click MED opens at the line where the symbol searched was found.

Conclusion - big and complex source project clearly VS. For all other tasks MED.

Btw. VS does not start when Virtualbox is already running. You've to start it before.

VSE is something I'd love to put my hands on. Too bad it is impossible to buy it anymore.
Guess I'll install VAC 3 and 4 ASAP and use more than one IDE.

I have to say, Visual Studio IDE have been improved greatly - weren't it for the need to port .NET on OS/2 (absurd task, mind you) I'd love to rebuild Visual Studio Code on our platform.
But we'd need .NET (which is basically a superset of SOM, even if not related)...
