![]() * Integrate with compilers, interpreters, (), () * Let us navigate projects and edit source code It sounds like Atom is trying to hone what TextMate and Sublime Text had both started to deliver, though we can likely guess that that’s just the starting point.Ĭonsidering a larger list of modern programming environments (at the end of this post) we get an expansive view of the landscape of features we’d like to see our editors include. We can’t wait to see what you build with it. Atom is modern, approachable, and hackable to the core. A tool you can customize to do anything, but also use productively on the first day without ever touching a config file. > building the text editor we’ve always wanted. Light Table is based on exploring a future of building software.Ītom has some lofty goals too. He was inspired by Bret Victor’s talk (), and () on this path as the spark for Light Table: Smalltalk, Symbolics Genera, Logo, and HyperCard. What makes someone say, “Let’s just start from scratch”?įor Chris Granger, it was aspirations to change the way programming happens. What really interests me about new editors are the forces that bring these new projects to the surface. There’s no shortage of editors or opinions on them. So if these two recent programming environment projects are points on a line, where does that line point? * Both envision open-source communities of 3rd party plugins ((), ()). * Both leverage modern languages to implement the editor itself ((), ()). * Both offer a web-based programming platform targeting customizability ((), ()). Here’s some of what Light Table shares with Github’s Atom: ![]() In 2012, () () a project called Light Table, which I think was a recent mile marker on the same road as Atom. ![]() ![]() (Nice logo! \*wink\*) If you haven’t seen it, here’s (). Regarding "While our development team is good, they cannot fix issues they are not aware of": They are aware now :-) Keep me posted.Github () their project to create their own programming editor called Atom. I'm currently evaluating it as a viable editing option. So I am excited to try out the relatively new textadept-curses terminal editor. I'm sure I don't need to go into details here about why developers either love or (mostly) hate these editors. Up until recently there's only been Emacs and vi(m). I've been waiting over 15 years for a half decent terminal programmer's editor to appear for Linux. Regarding "Did you previously use SecureCRT/Windows with textadept?": No. But isn't SecureCRT for Unix/Linux mostly the same code base as the Windows SecureCRT? Regarding "SecureCRT has only been available for Unix/Linux platforms since v6.7": Sure. This was referring to the original date of creation of the performance problem thread in August 2011 see. Regarding "a long time": Sorry for the confusion. The disturbing issue and the steps to reproduce it are described above. Question: Could you describe in more detail your experience with SecureCRT and tmux vs terminal and tmux?Īnswer: I have noticed minimal performance issues - which are not so disturbing so far - between SecureCRT and tmux. The steps described above to reproduce the flickering problem are todo with screen redrawing. Question: As far as tmux goes, I can see in SecureCRT v7.1 is improved, but still slower with respect to scrolling, but I saw little difference otherwise when running it natively vs in SecureCRT (on CentOS).Īnswer: I haven't tested scrolling or been doing much scrolling. Question: Is the "Minimize drawing (faster)" option enabled or disabled? (Session Options / Terminal category)Īnswer: Flicker happens with or without this option set. terminal is "rock solid" with no flickering. As you press the up and down arrow keys to navigate in the box then SecureCRT will flicker "like there's no tomorrow" but e.g. A small box pops up with various a* word choices. Type 'a' and then Meta-Enter (ALT-Enter on my box see in SecureCRT you may need to map Alt-RETURN to \033\n\033\n to make this work) which tries to command complete the word a. The cursor should now be at the top left hand corner. Run the following command to generate a small text file and then edit it: 'll /usr/bin/ > /tmp/foo.txt. Question: Taking tmux out of the equation for the moment, under what circumstances do you see the poor performance/flickering in SecureCRT?Īnswer: Leaving tmux out of it: I got the latest textadept 6.6 beta from. Question: What operating system is SecureCRT installed on?
