man indent

 

[Affinity]

beh
did not know it comes with the box

 

[anti]

or use vim..

 

[Affinity]

vi is designed for the days of a monochrome monitor with no mouse

hey hey hey, more excuse to make tutors accept one-line C codes

 

[Affinity]

I would jsut tell them it looked fine on my editor.. don't know what's wrong with yours.

By the way.. I recommend pico (or the clone nano) if anyone ever needs to do text editing in command line

 

[underthesun]

Yeah, I also do code using pico from putty. Mainly for compiling assignments. But man, text editors in linux are (not-user-friendly xor not-powerful). Nedit is easy to use, but not user friendly. Vim and emacs is the other way around. I long to use my windows text editors there

 

[Affinity]

I think that's same with windows... the only good editor I've found for windows is Ultraedit.

Kwrite is satisfactory for me.. it has regular expressions

 

[anti]

hey, I said vim, not vi I like using arrow keys to move around.....

Actually I admit I use gvim. No purist here

 

[sunny]

I use ConTEXT or JEdit..both very fine editors.

 

[underthesun]

I used to use winsyntax everyday, but then moved to crimson editor. Is there any other editors that support view splitting like it (and textpad)? Actually, splitting to more than 2 sections (like Nedit) would be really cool, cept nedit dont work for windows :/

www.jedit.org

Split to your heart's desire.

 

[underthesun]

looks like i'll give jEdit a try, .. my first ever experience using a java-based text editor

i have used vim everyday for the last 6 or so years. at first i only knew how to enter insert mode and delete lines but bit by bit i have learnt another command here and there and know i can do quite a lot.

hands down the best version of indent i have used is the one that ships with openbsd. i only use it on others code though, you should get in the habit of properly formatting your code as you type it. it has saved me uncountable hours of heartache and stress.

 

[doe]

oh if you want to split in vim its

ESC
:split [filename]

and it will open up the other file and split the window

use ctrl-w-w to toggle between split windows. you can split more than once.

 

[underthesun]

is that splitting one file (which is like editing one file, save the effort of scrolling up and down to go to different segments of code), or viewing 2 files in 2 split window?

ah, i see, you can do it in gvim. Just realised ctrl+w works differently on different mode. Awesome, im gonna be trying this now.
