I like editing my files by throat singing the binary straight through the microphone. Anyone else?

"If you like me, then you may have just started out writing code with whatever text editor or IDE your teacher used." My teacher: Notepad

who's part of the vscode squad?

waiting for the vim and emacs users to arrive...

A great shortcut to remembering many keybindings is to understand the Vim "language" of action-movement-object, basically a "verb-preposition-object" structure or, in easier words, "do what to which bite of text". Easy "verbs" to remember are yank (y), put (p), change (c), delete(d) Easy motions to remember are around (a), inner/inside (i) , surrounding (with the plugin vim-surround, letter s), to (t/T), find (f/F), visual (v). Easy objects to remember are word (w/W), sentence (s), paragraph (p), plus a bunch of code objects. Most of these are mnemonic - the key fits with the words. Now you just need to put them together into "sentences" diw = Delete Inside Word (but not surrounding spaces) yis = yank (copy) inner sentence ci) = change inside parantheses d3w = delete next three words v3fe = highlight (visual) to and including the 3rd occurence of 'e' forward v2Tk = highlight to, but not including, the 2nd occurrence of 'k', going backwards It's like talking to your editor - each key sequence is a sentence.

Bill gates: The best text editor for programming is “notepad”

It's maybe a matter of preferences but nothing is like VS Code

My editors/IDE - > For python - Pycharm For Web development- VS code For android app development- Android Studio

Unrelated, but can we get a sneak peek into your haircare routine lol

I use Atom, mainly because I like the interface and the fact I can open a second pane to the right if I'm comparing or shamelessly plagiarising code. The fact I can select what language I'm working in and it gives me pointers and autofill on variables / functions in that language is a huge time saver.

East or west visual studio is best.

hey, i respect you, you are the youtuber who isn't just a youtuber, your work is qualitative, you don't just make videos, it is clear that this is your passion and tbh, when i watch your videos i get more attracted to coding and i feel very cool with that. Good job!

Other editors are for sure capable of doing editing, but VS Code is like a universe with infinite possibilities.

The two text editor thing is pretty spot on and I never really thought about it until now, Atom + Gedit are my go to. I tried out VS Code a couple of years but I think my laptop is too potato to run a text editor that's that heavy while also running all my other web dev stuff.

Kate in Manjaro and KDE distros is unparalleled, just uncharted by many developers

Been using VS Code as my main Programming text editor and sublime as my the default text editor. Sometimes the smoothness and how fast sublime is really made a difference when you just want to look at that code without editing it. I love them both😍😅

Personally a Sublime Text guy. I just like the simplicity of the interface and how it doesn't come with any plugins out of the box so that I can install and have what I need and nothing more. I also use neovim for my single line code changes when I'm in the command line (which is pretty often) Edit: As of late I've been using a combination of the two (Sublime / Neovim) using a plugin that runs a Neovim instance in the background for perfect vim "emulation" (not actually emulation since it's actually Neovim). This way I can enjoy the plugins and graphical interface of Sublime, and the fast/efficient text editing of vim. If I have a really big project then I've been using more sophisticated IDEs like PyCharm or IntelliJ

As a total vim head, after taking all points into considerations, I believe a new programmer should have vim as a quick fix text editor and vs code as a primary code editor. To make the learning curve a little flat for vim, and then slowly switch from VS to vim. After doing the same thing for over 6 months, I swear I can't move back to any other code editor anymore, The on;y reason why I even consider going back to VS is to handle conflicts in GIT. because I am still learning the ropes of git handling in vim.

Vim for life ❤ once u get the hang of it, u wont use any other text editor... 🔥❤

Generally I can't understand English speaking but you're speakşng wery well and I could understand easily without subtitles.Thank you!

Y'all missing out on (doom) Emacs :^(

Meh, gonna stick with the Jetbrains suite, the code analysis and how the IDEs understand my code out of the box is beyond everything else.

the more text editors you use, the less chance you have of ever having a tutorial u cant follow

Relative programing noob here. VSCode and Kate 4 lyf. I love Kate text editor so much it's silly, but there's nothing quite like it.

Cool video, also, totally awesome that your starting to get more sponsors! The hard work is really paying off, keep it up!

This was very helpful. Thank you so much. I am also just getting started out in coding and a BS degree in CyberSecurity, and this stuff can seem simple but is very overwhelming. Once again, thank you. I love your channel. Great content.

I dont know how speed was sublime instead of vim

I just use editors base on the type of project. For js/ts/html Vscode For PHP/Go/ big projects Sublime For quick fixes /competitive programming/everything else vim

I spent about 3-4 months learning firstly touch typing, then vim, then emacs. There were times when I wanted to give up and just use vscode, but now I cannot imagine my life without emacs. The key features of emacs: it is extremely lightweight, so opening a large project takes a fraction of a second. And it is easy to open multiple instances of emacs. It has incredible keys mechanics invented by spacemacs devs, I mean things like SPC d f pressed in sequence, which stands for "describe function". This is at least the case in my setup. And what's great - you can assign and memorize significantly more key bindings, than in conventional editor. Another great thing - you can launch emacs in terminal. There probably are unique features in vscode that emacs can't do, or does badly, but my heart belongs to emacs.

I've been using Neo(vim) for the past 2 years, coming from VSCode, once you setup your plugins, key-bidings your good to go, I've worked on big projects without any issues or loading time, and the good thing is that have the same configuration locally and on the server, so I hace the same flow.

Jeez the quantity to quality ratio if nuts! Keep up the good work man!

The problem is, comparing text editors is not an apples to apples comparison anymore. The main focus of each editor is different. VS Code comes from Microsoft, and their motto is that an editor should be usable for most scenarios right from the start. VS Code does exactly that. This is why it comes with Git integration and a terminal emulator built in since most people use it. Atom's motto is that it should be as minimal and modular as possible. By default it is just a text editor and nothing else. You have to install Git package, terminal package, syntax highlighting language definitions, the IDE package if you want to use LSP, then for each language you want, a language server. It's bare bones out of the box, but allows you to customize each and everything. Sublime Text and Notepad++ has the same motto. They just want to be text editors and nothing else. Although both of them offer extensions, they are pretty limited in what they can do too. However, initially Sublime Text is macOS only and Notepad++ is Windows only. Other editors like Gedit and Kwriter (Linux users will know them) and TextWrangler (a fantastic simple editor for macOS) fall in this exact category. Vim focuses mainly on editing. It's extremely focused on power to the advanced user. I agree that the learning curve is a bit big, and required me to spend 3 whole days just to learn the basics, but 3 years later, today I find myself editing files almost 50x faster than with other editors. It is customizable to the core, that you can configure each and every shortcut to make it feel like it's not Vim anymore. One Vim user cannot work at the same speed on someone else's Vim setup since most of us configure everything to our own liking. I'll add Emacs too since people frequently compare Emacs with Vim, but I'd say Emacs is not a text editor. It is a complete mini OS in itself. It even has got it's own music player, a web browser, an email client and a movie player too. It aims to be an IDE instead. And with package evil-mode, you can get Vim inside of Emacs and this is what most people does.

I really love your intro as well your content straight to the point....

When you just installed kite, and the first video you watch has kite as the sponsor: Me:....... Well.... It's a coincidence..

for me, for python coding there is nothing even close to atom. So simple, bautiful and powerful. Also for C++ I used to code in codelite, but when you start to do something more serious you start to use more complex stuff. At work I was told to use Qt creator as a redactor for C++. I hated it at the begining, but now I don't know how I lived without it the fact is that you will like the editor you use to code in, while you are not forced to move to another

I use VS code as the main editor. sublime to work with large files, it is easy to format data on large files. vim whenever I want to make any small changes in single files. This works great for me.

Honestly I find Sublime text most usable. It is *very* ligtweight (unlike electron stuff) and has a lots of features that I find useful. VS Code leans more to IDE while Sublime is mostly an editor.

TextPad is a great editor for Windows. It's old but it can handle very large files (unlike almost all other editors) and it opens really very quickly. And TextPad also has a very nice macro recorder. It's been my favorite as a second editor for many years. My first editor is VS Code 😏 But I actually use both editors on a daily basis.

tack kalle! vilka bra videos du gör! har precis börjat att koda, helt ny :D /Emma

"Kite is tye best auto-complete!" me: *laughs in copilot*

I am in love with Sublime Text

Here is something that most coders don't seem to consider: Beauty. Of course, that's very subjective, but to me, Sublime Text just looks best. I love how the UI looks and feels. I love the Monokai color scheme. (I'm aware you could probably get that one on other editors as well) And it's capable of all I need. I'm fine as long as I have multicursors and configurable keyboard shortcuts. And loads of Plugins to choose from.

I'm really loving all of your videos. Also you're intro is soooooo good

Atom was actually pretty decent when I played around in it. Very similar to VS Code.

sublime hits me with nostalgia

I am absolutely in love with Atom.

Kalle been uploading so much but I am enjoying the content honestly

I use Code - OSS (Visual Studio Code without the proprietary Microsoft junk) for big projects and web development (live server + auto-reload) and vim for almost everything else (scripts, small programs, manipulating text files). I sometimes also use Kate to just view a text file while navigating through the GUI, otherwise cat is enough

I learned vim to prevent RSI in my shoulder. Now I have RSI in my fingers. lol

If I did my maths right the total in 01:15 is 143.3...

I'm in a profession where I program in C++/fortran/python all the time. I've tried every major editor under the moon: VSCode, Atom, Sublime, you name it -- and by 'try' I mean forced myself to learn/exclusively use it for weeks. I am not as fast/productive on any of those as I am in (heavily customized) vim. Emacs is a close second -- and org-mode is humanity's greatest invention.

I use nano as my quick switch / fix editor. Just open up terminal type nano and boom opened

Vim has unseen potential. It blows every other editor out of the water!

Hey Kalle! I got the live bootable Linux working! Thanks!

I wait for your videos! ❤️So glad I found you in this pandemic!

Fzf for vim and you have the file navigation solved! Just map it to C-P. Vim is worth learning, not as hard as it seems. For people getting started, get the plug-in for vscode :)

I liked to used VS Code for main project where Notepad++ for small or quick changes since right clicking on the file gives option to "Edit with Notepad++" 😁

If you want simpler version of vim that's very intuitive then I recommend micro text editor. Hope you will like it :). I used it for the past 3 weeks and I love it (even for big projects especially with extensions)

Vim has a GUI with a full menu and icons, and with Windows-like key bindings. In Windows it even creates a link (or batch file) with all the familiar Windowsy switches called EasyVim

This video is perfect! I hopped on here to find an alternate to VS Code because I'm working on a large project and VS Code has become really slow.

This video just came out at the right time...coz I was doing a pretty hectic research on what to use and why to use but this video ended all that hassle and now I know what to do. Thanks for the video...it helped a lot!

You might install vim extension for vscode :) Best of both worlds.

> "The ultimate guide" > Describes the most basic of features of 3 most well known editors.

I love how entertaining u make your videos :)

If everyone took the time to lean vim there would be no other text editors. After vim EVERY other text editor feels like Microsoft word... Except emacs. 😎

I have programmed since the early 80s. Used all kinds of text editors including vi. IDK why anyone would not use and IDE today. vim is great as a text editor, but its not and IDE!

The editing of this video is superb. Same with photography. Congrats. On the content's side, I suggest diving deeper next time. Include some unusual options, for example, or obscure ones. Emacs, even if not popular, is a traditional option to considerer.

vim is based around "modes" which lets you use the keyboard to its fullest. For example, you can navigate by word, paragraph, blocks ... Vim also has macros to record and reapply any sequence of keys. VSCode sorely needs macros. Vim is very productive once learned. I use vim when I'm not writing Typescript. For TS, VSCode works well.

VS Code always on top! Sucks that it doesn't have support for Swift tho

This was a really honest review. VS Code is my go to code editor. And vim for my quick editor. I also edit a lot of file over the ssh and vim is perfect for that.

In my experience, notepad++ is much faster when opening a large text file compare to Sublime. Notepad: **coughs**

I used to use SPFPC very heavily. Wish they had a native Linux version. (Began using it in 1980 on a mainframe) before that it was a keypunch machine hahah

Kalle you missed nano. 😂😂😂 well i use it as secondary editor

I've seen people use sublime text in every video I've seen And I was like damn I need that editor I got to know that it is called sublime text right now

Love daily upload I don't want it to stop

I am using sublime text 3 and vs code . Sublime text color scheme is very attractive. But working on django I am using pycharm. Rarely I am using notepad.

Next Up: Why Word Doc is the best text editor for computer programming.

vscode is good for most languages but it does lack on html/css. I do LOVE it for python tho

You're a teacher who teaches me how to teach myself 👍👍

Atom with its packages and community is just perfect for me

I'm on vim full time since 3years

pycharm is perfect to me 😍😅😂

Excellent Video and approach. Very good suggestions! Cheers

Other than how long it takes to learn vim, I use it for both small and large projects. Extra boost when you combine it with tmux.

vim can literally do everything that every other editor on this list can

God, I love that intro music.

RIP ATOM 😢 I just loved the feel of it.

Sublime Text was my first. It is amazing. You have to know vim to make your life easier.

I use VS Code and Notepad++ too!

Where are the nano fans?

I have some suggestions for video:- 1-what all things we need to ensure for selling an app. 2-what are the good requirements for a pc or laptop. 3-starting a business as a developer.

VS Code is 100% sure best for me, it’s super good and ability to have access to all project resources from it, it’s just something amazing

No way he's using Kali Linux LMAO

Next video, Best Python ide for programming maybe usefull tools at the end

vscode isnt that heavyweight. boots up within 3 seconds. (on my nearly 8000 line project) while other editors boot up in like 2 seconds, you get the point

vscode takes about 800MB, so if memory is an issue, you can also try slick-edit, which comes in between vscode and sublime-text.

Have been loving Vim for the past 10 years, but Atom with vim-mode-plus and ex-mode recently with caught my attention. With centralized package installation, it's brilliant. Though, my projects are relatively modest, so... just perfect for me ^^

r we just gonna ignore kali linux's wallpaper in the background

one thing about Vim i didnt hear mentioned: never having to move your right hand to your mouse is more effective! (i do not use vim, but i understand this)

I switched from VSC to nvim to finally Sublime and couldnt be happier. Been on Sublime for 4+ months and I dont think it misses anything that VSC provides. I can have 8ish tabs opened during debugging and side-by-side mode with 4+ columns is all you could ever need.
