Suggested code editor for LXDE

Post by macmurdo »

I am a new guy. Could anyone tell me of a code editor (i.e. Sublime Text, Atom) for us on the 32bit system? And where may it be obtained?

Most Linux operating systems come with one installed. As to which is the best you have to decide that for yourself. There are plenty of reviews published on which is the best. Just use your web browser and favorite search engine. For instance: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/best-linux-te ... for-coding

You can use the Vi Editor for editing the code there are many of the reasons to use the Vi editor

1. It’s always available.
2. It is very efficient, minimum keystrokes to accomplish anything.
3. It can be used for any editing without fingers leaving the keyboard.
4. It can be used remotely via ssh with very little or no degradation seen by the user.
5. By using “set -o vi” in my .bashrc or .profile files and having the correct configuration in .inputrc file I can get vi editing in shells and most text inputs.
6. I can take advantage of the UNIX philosophy of combining specialized tools which do one thing well synergistically.[/list]

here i listed some of the Vi editor command that might help you
Below are some Vi commands-

i – this command will allow you to Insert wherever your cursor is (goes into insert mode)
a – it will allow you to write just after the cursor (goes into insert mode)
A – it will allow you to write at the end of the line (goes into insert mode)
ESC – this will allow you to exit the insert mode
u – it will allow you to undo the last change
U – it will allow you to undo all changes to the entire line
o – it will allow you to open a new line (goes into insert mode)
dd – it will allow you to delete the specific line
3dd – it will allow you to delete 3 consecutive lines.
D – it will allow you to delete the contents of the line just after the cursor
C – it will allow you to delete the contents of a line just after the cursor and allow you to insert new text. You can press the ESC key if you want to end insertion mode.
dw – it will allow you to delete the specific word.
4dw – it will allow you to delete 4 consecutive words
cw – it will allow you to change the specific word
x – it will allow you to delete the specific character at the cursor
r – it will allow you to replace the specific character
R – it will allow you to overwrite the characters just from the cursor onward
s – it will allow you to substitute one character just under the cursor and then continue to insert
S – it will allow you to substitute the entire line and begin to insert just at the beginning of the line
~ – it will allow you to change the case of a specific character
