Michal :verified: :btw:I challenged myself to implement a code completer for <a href="https://toot.kottman.xyz/tags/TextAdept" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TextAdept</a> editor in <a href="https://toot.kottman.xyz/tags/Lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lua</a> based on <a href="https://toot.kottman.xyz/tags/llama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#llama</a> 3.2. It ended up being <100 LOC total.It feels pretty fast considering that it's running on modest <a href="https://toot.kottman.xyz/tags/Arc750" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Arc750</a>. And it's interesting to see the different "code" it makes up every time it's run.

Anachron :void:I think its time to get my hands on the user customizable lua based <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/terminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#terminal</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/texteditor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#texteditor</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/textadept" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#textadept</a>.<a href="https://github.com/orbitalquark/textadept" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://github.com/orbitalquark/textadept</a>

Michal :verified: :btw:I love the <a href="https://toot.kottman.xyz/tags/TextAdept" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TextAdept</a> editor - <a href="https://toot.kottman.xyz/tags/Lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lua</a> based, fast, minimalist, very extensible.I wanted to write my yesterday's thread and split it up into 500-char chunks.So I made the following small change to core/ui.lua:@@ -309,7 +309,8 @@ - local encoding = buffer.encoding or '' + local sel = buffer:get_sel_text() + local encoding = (buffer.encoding or '') .. (<a href="https://toot.kottman.xyz/tags/sel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sel</a>>0 and ' Sel:'..<a href="https://toot.kottman.xyz/tags/sel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sel</a> or '')TADA! Now I just have to select the chunk and immediately see how many bytes I've written...

Michal :verified: :btw:After years of having to use "real IDEs" and hyper-modded Vim at work, I downloaded <a href="https://toot.kottman.xyz/tags/TextAdept" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TextAdept</a> again, started it up... and fell in love again. Or is it nostalgia?There's somethig amazing about the minimalist-but-very-usable, quick, responsive blank slate, which you can customize precisely as you want it.Diff two files side by side and show the diff in a new view? Few lines of <a href="https://toot.kottman.xyz/tags/Lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lua</a>, `keys['ctrl+alt+D'] = diff` and it's done. GUI and TUI(curses) versions available, gonna be tweaking tonight...

Anachron :void:Now that my wayland and pipewire transmissions are done it's time to get <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/qutebrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#qutebrowser</a> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/textadept" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#textadept</a> set up.I am stoked. Soon I will have a setup that I can completely integrate into my workflows. Writing a mastodon reply inside my texteditor on fullscreen? Here we go. Sending websites to my CLI bookmark manager? I am ready. Theming my browser like my OS? Cant wait. So many things possible.

Anachron :void:Today I've added a <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/donotdisturb" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#donotdisturb</a> mode to my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/voidlinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#voidlinux</a> setup.Will create a workmode soon that uses a pomodoro timer.Still left is a migration to a new editor, <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/textadept" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#textadept</a>.

Kir Axanov... sad to admit, but I think it's time to hop to other text (source code) editor :( Considering the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/neovim" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#neovim</a> now. Can you give some advice / links to docs or configs? Some time ago I tried to use <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/spacemacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#spacemacs</a> and fell in love with its idea of semantic keybind chaining. But with all the plugins used it became too slow and sometimes buggy. Also, like to code configs with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#lua</a> (thanks <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/textadept" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#textadept</a> 😢).*Top languages I need support for: md, html, scss, js, ts, bash, python, plantuml.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/dev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#dev</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/CodeEditors" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CodeEditors</a>

Kir Axanov<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Textadept" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Textadept</a> 12 defaults to QT. But I really like single-instance with GTK version... but I also want to use QT... ... so, I hacked a bit and here is a singleton for TA: <a href="https://github.com/ioplker/ta-configs/commit/29c94f0ec37842ee3c46907ccd73e3d9a958bacf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://github.com/ioplker/ta-configs/commit/29c94f0ec37842ee3c46907ccd73e3d9a958bacf</a>(think you can use it with TA 11 with minor adjustments)BTW, I use <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/i3wm" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#i3wm</a> for focusing on TA window and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/fswatch" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#fswatch</a> to monitor filesystem changes to open new files.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Unixporn" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Unixporn</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/PDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#PDE</a>

Michał SP6MR<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@governa" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@governa</a> there is another lightweight editor which I think doesn't get the attention it deserves: TextAdept! It is really small, extensible yet surprisingly easy to use. <a href="https://orbitalquark.github.io/textadept/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://orbitalquark.github.io/textadept/</a> <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/texteditor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#texteditor</a> <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/textadept" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#textadept</a>

lonequantumMy new text editor is now <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/Textadept" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Textadept</a>. <a href="https://orbitalquark.github.io/textadept/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://orbitalquark.github.io/textadept/index.html</a> I see it like the little brother of Emacs, with <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/Lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lua</a> instead of Emacs Lisp.

RetroEdge.Tech<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@be" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@be</a> <a href="https://floss.social/@alcinnz" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@alcinnz</a> My app is basic and I want a retro feel. Wish I could use GTK2 (there are a few current projects that still use this, I believe, such as <a href="https://distrotoot.com/tags/textadept" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#textadept</a>)

RetroEdge.TechI plan on writing my app cross platform, with the vast majority of potential users on Windows with a second target being Linux Mint. I have done some Linux scripting and basic programming. I have never tried to do much in Windows. Will be setting up a Windows system, installing <a href="https://distrotoot.com/tags/Lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lua</a> and <a href="https://distrotoot.com/tags/Textadept" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Textadept</a> and trying out some basic parts of my app logic. I am not excited about programming for Windows, but it is a reality that the people who need my app are using Windows.

RetroEdge.TechI'm really liking programs configurable in <a href="https://distrotoot.com/tags/lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lua</a> like <a href="https://distrotoot.com/tags/wezterm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wezterm</a>, <a href="https://distrotoot.com/tags/textadept" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#textadept</a>, lite-xl, vis and more. I haven't yet done much programming in Lua, but upon doing quite a bit of research Lua may be a good fit for the programming project that I mentioned earlier (simple backup program with wizard-like prompts that would be helpful for my typical customer). I was initially wanting to program it in V <a href="https://distrotoot.com/tags/vlang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vlang</a>, but upon reflection that may not be good due to the language not having reached maturity.

MacxCool :arch_linux:<a href="https://distrotoot.com/tags/Textadept" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Textadept</a> is fast becoming my favourite GUI text editor. <a href="https://orbitalquark.github.io/textadept" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://orbitalquark.github.io/textadept</a>

adnan360<a href="https://mas.to/@adalbertsen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@adalbertsen</a> Great! I love Sublime. Too bad it's not open source. 😭 I use <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Textadept" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Textadept</a> now most of the times which is close to sublime with this config: <a href="https://notabug.org/reback00/ta-config" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://notabug.org/reback00/ta-config</a> 😍

Another interesting editor (much less known and hacked) that follows the same ideal design but with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lua</a> instead of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/elisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ELisp</a> is <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/textadept" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TextAdept</a>.Despite the arguably better defaults and less portable dependencies, it's a awesome work.Yet you shouldn't need a language in an editor.

→ @Shamar@framapiaf.org<a href="https://mastodon.social/@ekaitz_zarraga" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@ekaitz_zarraga</a> As I grow older, I look for simple tools that can do one thing well. I don't like to configurations. I want things to adapt to my way of reasoning, not the other way around.For example on my Debian machines I don't have any Desktop environment, just a slighly hacked <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dwm</a> + <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dmenu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dmenu</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/geany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Geany</a> is pretty simple, and still can do too much things I don't use, but I've learnt to ignore them.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/textadept" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TextAdept</a> is another awesome <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/editor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#editor</a> I like a lot: I could move to it, but TBH hadn't time.
