act like a haker

Your job.

Run it on a headless server to edit config files over ssh?

Complain

edit text

May I suggest this for anyone looking for a decent commandline based text editor?

After years with vim I have finally decided that I'll switch to Atom.
r8

Be free.

You need to write a blog post about it and then post it to HN. Make sure to mention some conference.

It's free as in freedom and free beer
also it's required by posix so available on any posix system, so if you are using a system that you do not have admin rights in and/or that you are accessing through ssh you don't have the luxury to install and use sublime but you have access to vim.

I use Atom for everything desu, unless I have to ssh or very quickly need to edit something, then I use Vim or nano.

get the file to local machine, use comfy sublime to edit and put it back?
but paid is better than free
logic

VS code is better in every conceivable way

Just open the file over sftp

>VS code is better in every conceivable way
No tabs.

I'm not against software having a price, though I find the concept of purchasing a text editor to be absurd.
I'm against proprietary software. If I would like to change the software, or build it on a system that it is currently not supported for I can not because a) the source is not available and b) if it was available, it would also need a license that permits me to change the source.

There are countless alternatives that are not proprietary which render sublime obsolete. It eludes me that people use sublime.

but sublime is written in python, an interpreted language

ok then remove the part about "build it on a system that it is currently not supported for", one is still unable to change the software.

take Autism to the next level

Why

lost your time with inane configs and shitty shortcuts

wut?

Tell me how, senpai.

yeah, fuck off

not him but I found this baka-user

fuck off back to with your windows

Nevermind, found a better method kawotakochi sepachi anons, just use this autohotkey script


LWin & f::

WinGet Style, Style, A
if(Style & 0xC40000) {
WinSet, Style, -0xC40000, A

} else {
WinSet, Style, +0xC40000, A
}
return

It's time to install a less shitty OS friend

Insult me, and then tell me what to do

...install gentoo.

Run in a console.

It's also nice to run your editor on one machine and have it working nicely instead of copying configs and syncing all over the place.

Vi is installed on just about every machine you will encounter, so having a non shitty editor when your fixing a issue with a server (like a broken /etc/network/interfaces ) it's handy to know the basics.

When's emacs fork so it sucks less and has less Richard Stallman?

Emacs is great but really lags behind some of the modern features vim and other editors have.

> Sr-speedbar barely works, and won't open on multiple emacsclient frames.

Seriously, a left side file browser and code hierarchy barely works in a programmers editor. Like wtf
