What is the official text editor of /g/?
data:text/html, <html contenteditable>
>inb4 everyone posts a different text editor
>>54915337
vim. And only vim.
And sometimes Notepad++.
I write all my code in comment textareas.
Emacs was here, Vim is a faggot
Notepad++
lol!!!1!!1
>>54915430
I am the vim user from earlier. Tell me about emacs.

What kind of a text editor does it have?
Miktex
>>54915477
It can go from being as minimal as you'd like to being a full blown IDE.
>>54915488
What kind of system requirements does it have? Do I have to install Gentoo?
>>54915337
notepad ++

>>54915500
It should work on pretty much anything made in the last 10 years.
>>54915535
20 years, actually.
>>54915535
Do I need USB foot pedals to avoid emacs pinky?
>>54915555
You might like evil mode or spacemacs.
All of the functionality and customizability of emacs with the keybindings of vim.
joe, acme
>>54915337
notepad++ is nice.
vim for single file editing, emacs + evil for larger projects

>>54915500
Sure, you can install Gentoo within emacs if you wish
>>54915573
>keybinds of vim
aka none
that is why even nano is better than vim.
>>54915703
Same here. Editor wars are beyond me.
Emacs (with Evil mode)
>>54915703
Yeah, this is basically me. Except for C++. I'm too used to Visual Studio for C++.
>>54915337
for .txt and things that need a fast fix / check and are mostly text based without formating = notepad++
For formatting text, taking notes - writing my ideas and so on - Microsoft office, but libre would also suffice - I just pirated office for now.
Notepad :^)
nano, because everyone is too retarded to remember shift-colon-r-enter, or that [insert] is a thing
>>54915337
gedit
>>54915337
Vim

/g/ in a nutshell.
>>54915384
microsoft word
i fire up a virtual machine running windows 10 running a virtual machine running windows vista running a virtual machine running gentoo, running a qemu session emulating windows xp, running a virtualbox of osx 10.0 in which i use the original TextEdit.
it's that good.

“Ed is the standard text editor.”
Ed, the greatest WYGIWYG editor of all.
ED IS THE TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA! ED HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF EDUCATED AND IGNORANT ALIKE FOR CENTURIES! ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS!! ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR! ED MAKES THE SUN SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!!
When I use an editor, I don't want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless help screens and cursor positioning code! I just want an EDitor!! Not a “viitor”. Not a “emacsitor”. Those aren't even WORDS!!!! ED! ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!!
TEXT EDITOR.
When IBM, in its ever-present omnipotence, needed to base their “edlin” on a Unix standard, did they mimic vi? No. Emacs? Surely you jest. They chose the most karmic editor of all. The standard.
Ed is for those who can remember what they are working on. If you are an idiot, you should use Emacs. If you are an Emacs, you should not be vi. If you use ED, you are on THE PATH TO REDEMPTION. THE SO-CALLED “VISUAL” EDITORS HAVE BEEN PLACED HERE BY ED TO TEMPT THE FAITHLESS. DO NOT GIVE IN!!! THE MIGHTY ED HAS SPOKEN!!!

Nano forever and ever
vim in a bash terminal. If there are other options that make my life easier ( a nice LaTeX studio thing or Visual Studio for games ) I'll use those with a vim configuration if I can find it, it's only because I've gotten used to it.
>>54915337
vim or nano
>>54915337
notepad++
>>54915726
But why?
nano when dealing with autism OS
notepad++ otherwise
no other answers are acceptable
>>54916403
does anything in vim do autocomplete suggestions or anything like that? in particular, when i'm writing in latex and doing something like \cite{...} i want my editor to help me find the shortname that i'm looking for.
sublime has a plugin that does this, but that's just about the only feature that's really keeping me from switching over to vim full time.
>>54916235
What?
>needing to learn retarded keybindings to pretend to be productive
Modern keybindings cover all possible use cases and aren't a pain in the add to learn. On top of that, they're nearly universal across any piece of software created within the past decade. So my answer would be either Sublime (cause Atom is a slow ass meme) or Notepad++
>>54916811
this is /g/
ed
>>54916758
vim has autocompletion plugins, but you need to find them
>>54916758
The good news is, yes, vim does have an autocompletion plugin (many, actually)
The bad news is that it will take you a month to set up
>>54916728

enjoy your automatic newline textwrap.
notepad++ is on linux, as notepadqq.
>>54915337
i just use word
UltraEdit, because i don't want to spend 3 months learning Vim or Emacs.
>>54916844
yeah googling around it seems like that's the case. the big issue is that while i *do* have a home server setup thing that i sometimes write on, i also use git, so the immediate advantage to vim over sublime for me (that i can ssh into a remote machine and use vim) is sort of negated - i can just ssh into that machine, commit+push changes, and then pull on my local machine, then open it in sublime).
maybe someday in the distant future i'll just buckle in and get everything set up perfectly. but it really doesn't seem like a high priority thing for me right now...

Why do you have to have approval from your /g/ overlords? It's like you wanna "fit in" or some shit dude. I personally use Emacs but find what works for you.
>>54915337
What the shit is with the clipping on the T, X, and T in that picture at the top left of each symbol? The fuck? Why?

>>54915337
Emacs.
VS code
Sublime
Atom
/g/edit or Sublime for light software development or VS Code for Git integration
Emacs for autistist, VIM for m-muh hackers and nano for CL babbies.
Emacs (best editor base) with Evil (best actual editor)
