Re: So, what editor do you guys use?

Sublime Text costs $70. It'd have to be much more awesome than Editra for me to shell out for it.

You can use Sublime in trial mode indefinitely if you don't want to pay for a license. As far as I know, the trial version has all the same features. You just get a popup once in a while asking you to purchase a license. I've only seen it once or twice so far, so I don't find it that annoying.trooper6 wrote:Sublime Text costs $70.

Really? I'm also a mac user but I've never had issues with editra.Arowana wrote:trooper6 wrote:
I've tried using Editra, but it has issues on Macs. Maybe I will try Atom too in the future.
Hmm strange, maybe it's my computer then? I'm experiencing the same issues that were described here (I have a retina display too, if that's what's causing it). The font problem in particular is a deal breaker for me - my eyesight is terrible, so I need to increase the font size a lot.Sleepy wrote: Really?

Occasionally if I try launching a script via ren'py to editra it'll crash but it always works on a reload.
You can find it under RenpyLanguage in the package installer (Tools -> Command Palette -> Package Control: Install Package -> search for RenpyLanguage). It was actually developed by Zetsubou here on LSF, so they're probably a good person to ask if you have questions.trooper6 wrote:Side question: how would one find the Renpy plugin for Sublime text if I wanted to try it out?
IIRC, the trial is indefinite, with all of the same features. The limitations are that you can't run dev builds (so you need to wait for new features to trickle down) and you get a popup every 100 saves.

I think you need to install the package manager first. Simple enough to do though.Arowana wrote:You can find it under RenpyLanguage in the package installer (Tools -> Command Palette -> Package Control: Install Package -> search for RenpyLanguage).

You can (judging by the fact that JSHint has added itself to my right click menu). I haven't looked into how to do it though.indoneko wrote:Ok, I was tempted by Tempus' comment about Sublime and tried the portable version of it. It's nice... but I wonder if I could add any command to the right-click menu (like... for example, the toggle block comment which is available by right-clicking in Notepad++ ).
Make sure to look through the plugins available. There are a lot to sift through, but a little bit of googling helps to find what's worth installing.Tempus wrote:Just dropping in to say I got so pissed off with WebStorm that I switched back to Notepad++ then got mad at that too and tried Sublime Text 3 and it's really nice! Only have a couple days experience with it but it's great so far. Thanks for mentioning that.
Oh, I had to look through the plugins immediately to do the most important thing: choose a theme Really nice how easy it is to do that once you get the hang of it. The only (minor) gripe I really have so far is the expand selection commands don't really do what I want, nor do any plugins. I may have to look into writing my own.Zetsubou wrote:Make sure to look through the plugins available.

There's a shortcut for this -- select the text you wanna comment out and press shift+ctrl+/ to put it in a block comment. You can also comment out the line your cursor is on (without selecting anything) by pressing ctrl+/indoneko wrote:Ok, I was tempted by Tempus' comment about Sublime and tried the portable version of it.
