That's no text editor - it's a space station!

almost• 16 years ago

That's really cool!

teamonkey• 16 years ago

I was hoping it would look like Dwarf Fortress. :(

Now all it needs is a text editor and it's done.

That rainbow mode also looks useful.

That's nice.

I use

  emacs -Q -f list-colors-display

to find out the color codes

I immediate tried to find to find a script for Vim that does this, I found this: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2150

That script is in need of some serious optimization, it reduces load times for anything with CSS in it (read: any HTML page) to a 5-second plus wait.

Try it on a large HTML file.

Each time I see a post about Emacs, I get jealous because I prefer Vi's text editing.

If only there existed a good modal editor with a good scripting language behind it...

I keep hoping that Yi (http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Yi) goes somewhere, but it doesn't seem too active.

Have you considered viper-mode?

PieSquared2• 16 years ago

Aye. I've used both Vim and Emacs (Emacs less so, but it was my main editor for a few months, so I feel comfortable if not proficient with it), and once I realized neither was what I wanted, I switched to Viper mode.

But, somehow, I never really adjusted to it and now switch between Vim and when necessary Xcode.

I discovered this gem in HN, but allow me anyway refer to it, as it's most appropriate: http://xkcd.com/378/

Too awesome. Really, too awesome.

BTW, I installed it and it runs with Aquamacs or the latest GNU emacs distribution, but not for the command line emacs that ships with OS X. Fun stuff.

mhd• 16 years ago

In the context of org-mode, that's actually quite useful. Did anyone ever hack some kind of canvas for emacs? Would probably work either by hackishly including changed images in the buffer or by embedding another X window.

There. _Now_ it's a kitchen sink!
