It has cross-platform editing, four UIs, eight syntax themes and integrates with HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and Node.js. Atom is a free, open-source text editor that bills itself as being “hackable to the core,” allowing for multiple customizations. Take Atom, one of the more popular IDEs/editors.

Vim has a small footprint, low latency, fast startup, allows for more screen space, customizable and most importantly, once the muscle-memory has been ingrained, it’s nearly impossible to switch to something else.Ĭontinues Carter: “Our fingers are often the bottleneck between thinking up code and getting it in the app, so that’s where folks look to optimize shortcuts.” It seems silly but that kind of pivot takes energy.” I got the job, a family, and side projects. It takes energy to pivot to a new editor.

On an emotional and professional level, I can’t really afford that. “Since then it’s become a question of ‘code speed.’ If I start with a new IDE or even switch to something like Emacs, I’ll slow down.
#Notepad++ plugin manager move winow license
“The reason I avoided IDEs to begin with was that back when I was getting into Vim, like a decade ago, it was an extra license to look into,” says Vim user John Carter (not of Mars). It’s the same reason I am still using Notepad to compose and not some fancy text editor or CMS tool. As my father would attest, using his Microsoft Zune long after its support ran out, if it ain’t broke… While there are many IDEs on the market, there’s no reason to use one if you don’t have to use one. The consensus among many Vim/Emacs users creates a picture many tech users from a certain generation would be familiar with. Vim and Emacs users, once at each other’s throats, seem to have implemented each other’s keybindings (a thing they actually do) to take on a common enemy - any modern IDE. It’s less a war at this point than a grumbling shuffle of ingrained habit and stubborn resistance to change. The endless war between Vim and Emacs users has continued ad nauseam over the years. And, though we hate to say it, both have reached a point where neither seems to really want to fade off into the sunset. Both are used in coding, editing, and administering systems.

Emacs, as we well know, is a “maze of twisty little passages, all different,” (an old programmer’s joke that came from the game Colossal Cave Adventure) while Vim (and Vi before it) offers an arrow-controlled universe of keyboard shortcuts. The origins of this war harken back to Usenet groups in the 1980s, a time when Vi and Emacs were the primary tools used for coding. We love what we grew up with, be it Star Trek jokes, Vim, or Emacs. Like a dog refusing to walk on wet grass, there always seemed to be a bit of resistance to changing up a routine. but rather all files in one window.Developers are a finicky bunch.

Those are all entirely different than what I'm asking. The 'combine' plugin doesn't do anything close to what I'm asking, and it can easily be seen if one take the time to read the description on the author website which says:ģ files (1.txt, 2.txt, 3.txt) can be combined to one file

When I search for this all I find are a bunch of false positives including stuff about:įYI: Though it can be a little ambiguous, I've tried to take the ambiguity out of it by clarifying - with a clear example - what I'm asking. Whenever I search for "join", "merge", or "combine" I keep getting text/document operations instead of view/display operations.
#Notepad++ plugin manager move winow windows
A working solution must move all open file tabs into window A and remove windows B & C, such that window A now will contain all 18 tabs. A has 10 files open, B has 3 files open, and C has 5 files open. So, to be ultra clear, lets say I had three Notepad++ instances/windows/views open, and lets refer to them as A, B, and C for ease of discussion. By "the same thing", I mean not 'merging' all open documents into one document, but rather merging multiple documents dispersed across multiple Notepad++ instances (windows) into one windows. What I'm asking is if Notepad++ has configuration settings, a keyboard shortcut, or a plugin that will accomplish the same thing. A different extension, OneTab, merges all tabs into one tab by converting the individual tabs into hyperlinks - that is not what I'm trying to do. I use an extension called JoinTabs and it works great. When you have Chrome browser open, if you have many different "windows" (as in "open in new window" vs "open in new tab") open, as I often do, it is useful to be able to join them all into one single window, leaving each tab intact.
