Ask HW: Simple code editor?

Posted by neytsevi58 on Friday August 13, 2021 @03:21PM
from the self-post dept.

I am looking into zen code editor, with no code auto complete, no extension, too many colors, that can beautify code.

Vim it's to hard (maybe), VS Code too many distractions, Atom same as VSC

How about nano? It's very simple. https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-use-nano-text-editor/

Definitely recommended, and available on nearly every platform.

I think Sublime Text is pretty simple https://www.sublimetext.com/. I still use version 3 because it's enough for me. You don't have to install any packages, can hide the sidebar (I do); just have a simple window.

Regarding autocomplete, I made my own. You can add files which contain only the words/keywords you want.

Barebone VSCode is pretty minimalist. You can also hide everything in the side/bottom toolbar. Remove minimap and tabs, etc.

Gedit or nano. But I’d just learn the basics of vi/vim, as it’s on every *NIX system.
