What is your editor/coding environment fashion setup?

Here is mine and I am very proud of it:

Termite terminal + dvtm (like tmux) + Nano with semi-custom syntax files.

Left language is C, right top C2 (c2lang.org), right bottom my build-system

    Nano is great.but I also think it's default syntax highlighting is bad.i also had to use custom syntax files.which made it better.also I would like to have a key binding set to auto complete for existing variables.

    Just wandering why you aren't using Vim if you're already into terminal based editors? I've heard there are plugins and stuff to make it better.

    @magnusi okay I'll bite - what do you use C2 for? It sounds interesting for sure, especially since I'm a C dev at heart (though I had hoped for a decent string type).

    tmux + customized vim

    @OfficerHalf I am helping with its development and write some small utility programs with it. I really like its syntax, but I admit that it it is still pretty early for it to be used for big programs.

    @magnusi gotcha. I'll definitely keep an eye on it.

    @dreik I dont need any fancy plugins for my stupid C programs and am too lazy to learn an editor that is so different 😁

    Tbh maybe if I didnt spend an offline summer a few years back with a system that only had Nano, things might have been different

    @zmzmuazzam98 yea, luckily writing syntax files is pretty easy in nano. I do agree that such keybind would be nice

    Tilda with zsh + Eclipse for debugging. So convenient when you have a hard time alt+tabbing around ;)

    GNOME-terminal + zsh + vim. I have i3-wm, so I don't see a need for tmux (or any other terminal multiplexer). Other details: GCC + gdb + Makefile + git.

    @elgringo what would I gain? I only have nano for editing small files, short Rust code and all my C programs. For bigger things, I have micro. It took a lot of configuring, but nano does it's job properly

    @elgringo using a professional editor wont make you professional, the same way, using nano wont make you any less professional. While you are busy arguing about text editors, other people are getting their job done in nano.

    @elgringo my comment wasn't ill-willed, I was genuinely hoping you can convince me :D

    All *nix clones by default have vi installed.

    Yes nano is easy to learn, what happen when the system you ssh only have vi and you don't have sudo permissions so you can't install any other editor?

    Have fun.

    @elgringo Good point, although nano is very common, vi is omni-present.

    I can still use ed when necessary :D
