Well standard xterm will only support 16 colors, so that setting will tell Vim not to try anything fancy.

You can set vim up to use t_Co=256 but that's still not going to work with color schemes that use hex codes as colors.

Oh well.

I tried PyCharm and found it to be really slow when launching and loading projects. Plus I couldn't figure out how to get auto-complete to work with Tab instead of Ctrl-Space (I'm probably ******ed though). Wing seemed snappier & more intuitive to me but that was a pretty early release of PyCharm.

Amen brother.

lol.

Oh well, it's a living!

I use gvim so the colour scheme is easier to change.

lucius, wombat256, and xoria256 all seem pretty reasonable in terminal mode for html+css+js. I much prefer a light background oriented scheme but at this point I have to settle.

Do you guys use anything else other than nerd tree, some type of snippet plugin, and some type of tag wrapper plugin?

very late response to this

i'm not exactly sure what youre looking for, but stylish will "skin" any site you want. i dont know about inverting the actual colors of the site, but its as if it has its own css that it overlays over everything

I hear you on the slow startup. Its probably faster now that its more mature, but still not ideal. All of JetBrain's IDEs are based on eclipse so they have that inherent slowness to them.

Hey guys,

Since Holdem manager doesn't work with Linux, I've always just used Windows exclusively (for everything, including coding.)

I've always just used Dreamweaver since I have a license. Now that poker is "over", I want to start using Linux more.

What is my closest alternative to Dreamweaver in a Linux Editor? (I know most people think Dreamweaver sucks, so any Linux recommendations will do also. I'm going to check out the recommendations made so far in this thread.)

Thanks

First you need to choose a religion. Are you planning on using KDE or GNOME? That could affect recommendations a bit (and kick off our first flamewar in the new forum).

Also, has anyone here ever used SlickEdit (on any platform)? If so, I'd love to hear why it's worth $299.

I'm most likely going going to use GNOME. No specific reason other than it being the default for Ubuntu (AFAIK.)

I could be convinced either way though.

omg GNOME what an idiot... j/k :P

For WSYWIG editors for linux I hear good things about SeaMonkey (although its a browser, irc, html editor all in one) and nvu. Here is a list of a few more in case you want to explore, and note these are probably available in your os's package manager.

edit: In all likelihood you won't find anything better than dreamweaver.

what plugins do the vim guys use for autocompletion of class names found in other files in a project's directory tree? also is there a plugin for following class names/functions to where they are declared?

I'm not an expert on plugins but I believe ctags is what you are looking for on the second one.

I downloaded Eclipse for C/C++ but not sure if I need to download any extras. Just beginning with programming. It asks me to set up a cross compilier but not sure what to put in there. Any help appreciated. In the meantime I'll google and go through some tutorials.

After reading a bit I'm not sure if I should get Cygwin, gcc or MinGW. Also thinking of going back to using Ubuntu instead of Windows, and if I read correctly I wouldn't need those? Only thing is I think Holdem Manager still does not work with Linux. Pokerstars and Full Tilt does though if I use Wine right?

I also posted this thread if anyone has advice.. Dual Boot or Virtualization??

Thanks, I ended up downloading exuberant ctags and it was exactly what I needed. It isn't a real plugin just a program that reads through your directory and generates a tag file for all the classes/functions etc.

Correct. Vim has built in tag support, but you need to generate the tags file first. Its a pain to setup, but works very well when its done.

A few of my other Vim gems:

Tab completion - https://github.com/ervandew/supertab
Better buffer explorer - http://www.vim.org/script.php?script_id=42

Well I'm finally taking the time to learn VIM and its pretty fun. I think I will be sticking with it. I will definitely be much faster

What were you waiting 3 years for? Welcome to the bright side!

My coworkers have to do a lot of HTML and stuff like that, and they all use Notepad++. Honestly, I think it is a pretty sad editor. I feel like someone tore my arm off when I try to use it.

I've been learning a bit of Vi (because how can you improve on perfection, amirite?) since that is the "universal" server editor. Not bad really, and it isn't that hard to get a hang of if you are coming from Emacs as many of the key bindings are similar to each other. I only know the basics so far, but it is a nice editor. I'm not sure how I feel about switching modes. On the one hand, I kind of like having the ability to not think about what mode I'm in, but on the other hand, I kind of like the key-combos. Not planning to explore it enough to make a switch, but I certainly wouldn't discourage someone from using Vim, though of course, I like Emacs.

For some reason I found the bolded to quite funny, brightened my day.

Because you must make quite a commitment to learn it. I never wanted to devote the time until now

I think Notepad++ is a very solid editor as a Notepad replacement

sublime text 3 with VIM mode = best of both worlds

I have heard that the VIM mode in Sublime leaves out of a lot of commands. Plus there is discussion on their forum on whether or not the author has abandoned it, given his disappearance over the last year

There is a new project to clean up and refactor the vim codebase to basically turn the base vim into a library that can be extended and use more modern guis. They've raised over $30k towards the project. I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out:
https://github.com/neovim/neovim

I guess then you would be able to have a legitimate, real vim plugin for Sublime or any UI for that matter
