New Kids on the Blog: Zed – Ein Texteditor greift Visual Studio Code an

Es tut sich was in der lange Zeit durch die erdrückende Vorherrschaft von Visual Studio Code gelähmten Entwicklerszene für Texteditoren. Hatte ich hier mit CotEditor einen vielversprechenden, kleinen Editor für macOS vorgestellt, kommt nun Zed und ist bereit für einen Angriff auf Visual Studio Code (€). https://kantel.github.io/posts/2026051401_zed/ #Zed #Texteditor

Kate (KDE Advanced Text Editor) to edytor kodu źródłowego opracowany przez społeczność wolnego oprogramowania KDE. Kate to edytor kodu źródłowego z podświetlaniem składni dla ponad 300 formatów plików i regułami składania kodu. https://biznes.linuxiarze.pl/kate/ #linux #osx #windows #texteditor

please find below some interesting resources that relate to how the people's permacomputer project could adapt FORTH for its purposes.

thank you everyone for your thoughtful and constructive suggestions over the last period, as we have been considering FORTH.

it seems the scene is very active, and has lots of ideas.

# TI-FORTH Screen Editor

"You will find here a new screen oriented editor for TI-Forth.
For people with other systems, TI-Forth is a fig-forth with some
computer specific extensions. The goal was to write a small
editor with a lot of futures, like autorepeating keys, overtype
and insert, some limited form of cut-and-paste, single-stepping
through source, execution of Forth from editor. Results are
below. Compiled code adds below 2K to system stuff".

I'm not sure how many of you tried I Write Like after I started posting about it. And it's ok, I'm enjoying it here anyway. Still, it would be nice to have some feedback, so it would help a lot if you voted.

Some fun for those who reach their word count goal in I Write Like.

#writing #goals #software #Markdown #texteditor #IWriteLike

a question for #texteditor experts here.
One feature which killing me while using #nano editor is the missing possibility to delete the code at once (not using Cut, though).
Therefore I am thinking about switching #cli #editor .
Which ine would you recommend, suitable for the - still - #terminal editor beginner?

Thanks for your input!

Here's another tool in I Write Like. It shows you how easy it is to read your text. It also calculates the estimated reading time.

@dirtycommo got the main idea of the editor worked out here -- need to figure out how controls are going to work...

I don't care for #emacs or #vim , I use #nano . Am I smooth-brained for saying this? I don't care.

I type. Code run. Me happy.

#texteditor #linux

so i have been learning #sam and #acme properly and oh my god. acme is the best editor i have ever used. i love the fact that it really is an os interface in its own right. i have been completely underutilising it. i now have a setup on my second desktop at all times.

sam just seems like ed on steroids with a lot of the acme benefits of the mouse interface.

i am using acme for actual work or writing and i use sam for quick edits or config files.

CotEditor: Ein schneller, leichtgewichtiger Texteditor für macOS

Manchmal benötigt man einfach nur einen schnellen, kleinen #Texteditor. Wenn man in einer Datei nur eine kleine Änderung vornehmen oder auch einfach nur hereinschauen will, dann sind die großen und leistungsfähigen, aber auch behäbigen Boliden wie Visual Studio Code oder PyCharm einfach ein Overkill. Daher war ich mehr als neugierig, als mir ifun.de #CotEditor als ihre meistgenutzte Mac-App vorstellten. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2026042201_coteditor_7/

I always use the Analyze tool on the finished draft. Mostly because it's fun, but also because I track changes in my writing style this way.

One of my favorite tools in I Write Like is Read Aloud.
I need this tool the way singers need those in-ear monitors. You have to hear your own voice. You can't get this type of feedback unless you have a special tool. It's like getting an extra sensor that helps you shape your work.

The text editor a fan is building for me got another upgrade. This release candidate introduces a separate command line tool to convert LibreOffice and MS Office autocorrect configuration into the new AME autocorrect configuration format. https://github.com/stefano-pogliani/AME/releases/tag/v0.2.0-rc3 #Text #PlainText #TextEditor #LibreOffice #OpenSource #Markdown

Ah yes, another ode to a glorified text editor with a keyboard shortcut fetish 🧙‍♂️. As our dear author waxes poetic, we can only marvel at their "intimate" connection to a program that’s basically a Rubik's cube for masochists 🧩. Surely, the world will stop turning if the mighty #Vim ever exits stage left 🎭.

More features added, some bug fixes, and now even a proper mdoc man page. Take a peek at the first actual beta of kg, now with enough features to be useful when editing system files or doing simple fixes, on remote systems where a full blown GUI editor does not work.

I’m loving how this text editor is turning out. I was never satisfied with modern text editors so I teamed up with a person to fork one and improve on it by adding basically what I want out of a text editor for fiction writers. Screen reader focus has been improved upon launch. There is now a tool to convert LibreOffice autocorrect files to the autocorrect file that works with this program! Now we are working on exporting to Shun Manuscript Format and auto capitalization because I am lazy and do not always hit the shift key. https://github.com/stefano-pogliani/AME #PlainText #TextEditor #LivreOffice #Accessibility #OpenSource #Programming #Program
