#49821 — Important features for editors

SubjectImportant features for editors
Message-ID<0eab9d68-da63-41b0-bad4-d7b4457128ce@googlegroups.com>
I am researching on editors for my own reference. I found that each of them has some features that other don't, but I am not sure which features are significant/necessary for a GOOD editor. What features do you a good editor should have? Keyboard shortcuts? Extensions?

Thanks!

When possible, it's polite to supply a link to the page where it's 
described or can be downloaded.  In this case,

http://www.sublimetext.com/

It looks pretty good on the web page.  The main negatives I can see are:
     It costs $70 per user
     It can only be purchased with Paypal, which I won't use.
     It's available for OS/X, Linux and Windows, with a single purchase
     The eval/demo is not time-limited (currently)

The positives
     It can be customized, apparently in Python
     The simple customizations are specified by JSON files
     Current download is version 2, but there's a version 3 beta, and if 
you buy now, you won't have an upgrade fee.

......

Note that the OP didn't ask which is a good editor, but which features 
make a good editor.  I'll post a response to that in a little while.

Considering that there are plenty of free text editors around, I don't
see any reason to steal one. If you want a pay-for editor, pay for it.
If you don't want to pay, use emacs or SciTE or nano or something.

Boy oh boy! You really are a slow learner Nicos. You have just offered to commit a crime and to include dozens of others in that crime ON A PUBLIC FORUM. Please think before you post.

Ahh, I see. Committing crimes is O.K. as long as
    1. I think I help other with it and
    2. I do not talk about it.

Yep. That's a great attitude towards life.

For the record Steve, let me say, I find Robert Kern's objection barely sufficient.

And yours less than that.

Note that you are not objecting to the crime but to the public expression of it.
Just look at your objection from the angle of a police officer, and you will see that it can certainly be construed as abetment/collusion (or whatever is the legalistic jargon. Obviously IANAL)

For the sake of covering my own arse let me say:
1. I have earlier described Nikos as a petty-criminal and consider myself justified.
2. I have earlier described condoning him as collusion and I reiterate that claim.

And I add
3. The collective actions of this list will help determine further whether he climbs or descends the criminal ladder.

Beyond that I reiterate what I said earlier in this thread: These discussions  'in-band' are counter-productive.

Setting up something like an invite-only yahoo or google group or some such to discuss this is free and takes 5 minutes.

I would have offered to do it but some people like Joshua Landau seem to think I am interested in world (aka Python-list) domination so not offering.
I was actually going to suggest that Steven d'Aprano do it. However before I could do that, he said (in CoC thread) that policing is not possible. Saddens me...

So I am suggesting you do it.

If I am invited I will contribute my 2c. If not, no objection: I dont consider myself a very important member of this list.

And yes: I hope you will consider rewording your objection, if not anything to cover your own you-know-what-where!!

Rusi,
Frankly, I don't give a tinkers cuss whether Nicos gets a visit from the police, FAST or the Greek secret service.   Like too many others, I gave him some advice and within 24 hours he has demonstrated that he didn't see any value in that advice.  Fair enough, it's not my problem. 
For my part, I have pointed out the folly of his ways and now reiterated, maybe too politely, that he has let himself down again.  Robert Kern had already given him a blunt response that such communication is unwelcome and I felt no need to reinforce it. 
If the police or any other authority are 'on my trail' they are welcome to visit my house where they will find absolutely no trace of any kind of crime (unless they check how badly I've ignored the need to redecorate). And just for the record, the lack of evidence of crime will not be because I covered it up really well but because "there ain't none guv".
I absolutely agree that the ongoing debate about Nicos' behaviour and the finer points of how various members of this list have reacted has become more than a little tiresome and it is high time it moved to another medium.  However, with no guidelines in place and no sanctions available, any discussion - on or off list - had precious little value. I still think the CoC idea has some merit but with just a few notable exceptions the response has been pretty lukewarm. Likewise,  I don't contribute much to this list - as a newcomer to python I don't have to much to offer - but I mostly enjoy being a small part of it and I would be happy to make a contribution to the CoC if I felt that the end result would be both useful and welcomed.

Which crime is that? Presumably you mean an actual criminal felony, not a 
mere civil offence. Under which jurisdiction?

If piracy is a crime, and not just a civil offence, then surely so is 
libel. You have just accused Steve Simmons of collusion in a felony, 
based on absolutely no evidence at all. That's as clear a case of libel 
as I've ever seen. Although I'm not sure that the damages should be 
terribly high -- there's little evidence that anyone treats your 
ridiculously exaggerated claims about other people's supposed crimes as 
anything but hot air.

But, putting damages aside, according to what passes for the reasoning 
that you have demonstrated here, your committing libel would make you 
equally a "petty criminal" as Nikos.


Speaking of petty, this whole witch-hunt is getting ridiculous. Don't you 
have something more productive to do? Accusing people of colluding in 
crimes because they fail to be sufficiently zealous in "objecting to the 
crime" is nuts.

Even if some of us *have* violated license agreements (which you
shouldn't assume is the case - most of us here are happily using free
software), it's still something that you shouldn't advocate in public.
Would you walk into a crowded room and start hawking a Kryptonite gun
("guaranteed to kill Superman, then you can go rob all the banks you
like") regardless of who's listening? No, you sell it quietly on the
black market. You certainly don't say "Hey, you guys have robbed banks
before... haven't you?", because that's certainly not going to be true
of everyone, and even if it is, it doesn't change what you've just
offered.

No, I don't.  Ever.  And I imagine many others on this list are the same
way.  If I don't want to pay asking price for a product, I won't use it.
 Period.  There's an open source solution to almost everything.  Learn to
use that instead.

Since many people on this list are in the business of making software, I'd
be willing to bet you are in the minority here. (The rather despised
minority, based on previous comments).  Even people that strongly believe
all software should be free would avoid Sublime Text (or start an inspired
open source project), not crack it.  Example: look at the history of git.

What you are doing (and offering to help others do in a public forum)
damages the very product you claim to like.  Commercial software is
maintained and improved by the funding provided by product sales, which you
deprive them of by your behavior.

The original offer was misguided at best, but this attempted defense that
casts everyone else down to your level (and avoids admitting wrongdoing) is
reprehensible.

Morality aside, why would I? Today I bought 8 games on GOG.com for about 
$22 - drm and virus free and easy download and install. If I get 10 
hours of fun from 2 of them, I'll be happy. This is not to mention free 
Python and LibreOffice as my primary work programs - suppported by hg, 
TortoiseHg, 7zip, and others.

The only thing missing from this great editor is the ability to upload 
your python scripts to a remote web server.

They should embed a plugin  for that like Notepad's NPPFtp plugin.

Other that that its all complete, and it has help built-in system to 
help you with the syntax of the commands as you write them.
