Hey y'all, I'm looking for suggestions on what IDE to choose for I2P tinkering. I'd entertain a cli but on this FreeBSD box I have KDE set up so gui would be great also but not required. I'm curious for reccomendations and one or two reasons why compared to other IDEs you may have tried.
RN
if you can't respond because +m you can PM me also
not_bob
emacs
RN
ok, not_bob and top one or two reasons you like that over others?
not_bob
Auto code highligitng.
not_bob
Multi-document support.
not_bob
Support for having "windows" open in the same console.
not_bob
Multipul windows.
not_bob
A built in file browser.
not_bob
And, if you really want, you can enable vi key movement.
not_bob
And best of all, you can script it using lisp.
not_bob
That wasmore than one or two...
not_bob
When I write code, I do it in vi, or emacs.
not_bob
That's as close to an IDE that I ever use.
RN
thanks! (not a vi fan, I'd rather nano+highliting)
not_bob
Emacs can use normal arrow keys for movement.
not_bob
Or, you can use ctrl+f, ctrl+b, ctrl+n, ctrl+p to move around as well.
RN
emacs noted on my list.
not_bob
You can also move a word at a time.
RN
I remember in the past people mentioning netbeans, intelij-idea, and eclipse
not_bob
I have never used those, so can't vounce for them.
RN
but typically I haven't messed with code that's more than one or two files, so nano has served
not_bob
Anywy, open emacs and run through the tutorial, it explains operation.
not_bob
You can even run a linux terminal, or freebsd terminal inside of emacs for testing things.
RN
that sounds like a useful feature
not_bob
You can split the screen in any direction you want, resize the windows.
not_bob
And this is all in a text mode window. It has a GUI as well.
not_bob
I never use the GUI mode.
not_bob
If you launch it with the command line argument -nw, then it goes to text mode even if x11 is detected.
not_bob
It can also view images when you run it in x11 mode.
RN
sounds great... bookmarked site. gotta afk for a bit. hope to get a couple more suggestions or opinions. thanks again not_bob. :)
not_bob
Anytime.
not_bob
I'm afk as well.

if you want a fully fledged ide, RN, try vscode, or codium.

if you want something a little more lightweight as a complimentary editor, try bluefish.
