Emacs Code Browser

March 11th, 2004 · 10 Comments · Uncategorized

Did you know that (X)Emacs could do this? Now I just have to find a frikking package for my Debian Stable.

    Not bad – starting to look like Visual Slickedit. But it will never quite get there. (Sometimes paying for software has its benefits.) http://www.slickedit.com – best editor IN THE WORLD. And it runs on anyting from Linux to ZX Spectrum. If you’re serious about coding you’re already using it so I don’t have to convince anyone ;-)

    SlickEdit is not bad. I do have a license and frequently use it when editing C++.

    It’s Python support leaves much to be desired though.

    “It’s Python support”, Charl?

    I seem to remember that you wrote something about that yourself, once…
    Yes, here it is:

    argh argh argh argh

    That’s a typo, honestly! I knew what the difference was even before it became hip to rant about it!!

    Durn.

    Charl, you’ve mellowed out man! WOW. We tried you on your two known BIG RANT(tm) buttons, code editors and spelling/semantics. Neither worked. Impressive man!!

    Of all these types of (X)Emacs things, I found oo-browser to be the closest to my liking. I think it’s not very “standard” though.

  • Charl P. Botha

    I did play with oo-browser (at S3, when I was still the only employee ;) and found it powerful, but far too obscure and high-maintenance. At least with ecb, I can get quite far just by clicking on stuff. :)

    Just tried it with Emacs 21.3 on Windows. YEAH!

  • Charl P. Botha

    I can recommend XEmacs 21.4 on Windows and XEmacs 21.4.15 on Linux, both with the latest xemacs sumo package tarball and the absolute latest ECB hand-installed from ecb.sf.net.

    On Windows there were some bugs with earlier versions of ecb, especially with the directory browser.
