execute the currently open program source code
with a specified interpreter that also offers me the possibility of
specifying some parameters,
vim can do this with :!. I tend to write the file with vim and switch to
a different shell in screen and use that to run the code.
That's what I want to avoid.
For example, in TextPad I just press Control+Shift+E, it appears a text box
where I can type the command line parameters, and I press enter. The results
(STDOUT and STDIN) are placed in a new document window, so they are
accessible for selecting them, copying them, pasting, etc.
Switching to a new shell and typing the command line for running the program
requires much more keystrokes, and the result is not automaticly placed in
an editor where it can be accessed as well as possible, so it is not a very
good method.
find/replace using regular expressions with a
simple combination of keys, and very few other things.
I feel like there is a way to do this in nano, but I don't remember what
it is. Ireally like vim for this because it supports the same s///
operater as perl php etc. I believe gedit can do this too.
Is gedit a modern editor like the Windows ones, or an old style one like vi
or emacs?
certianly the way vim works is different from gedit / notepad etc,
howeverthis makes it very powerful. it sounds like you might want an IDE?
If so I would suggest taking a look at eclipse it was reasonably ccessible
under linux atleast so far as my one quick look went.
Yes, actually I want an IDE, but under Windows I don't like Eclipse and
Visual Studio at all because they are too complex, with too many useless
windows and panes, and this is not a big problem, but they start very very
slow.
A simple editor like TextPad/UltraEdit/EditPlus starts in a fraction of a
second, while Eclipse takes very many seconds to load. Does it happen the
same under Linux or it works faster?
Thank you.
