Look at the source code. It is FOSS, after all.

>lightweight

??????????????????????

>using a web browser for writing code

Install Neovim

Install https://github.com/Shougo/dein.vim

Follow the instructions to set it up

Recommended plugins:

- NERDTree

- YouCompleteMe

- Syntastic

- vim-airline

YouCompleteMe's instructions include setting it up for Go.

Learn neovim: Open Neovim, and type ":Tutor" (no quotes)

If you care about telemetry your best bet is to not use any Microsoft products. I would expect the type of person to care about telemetry would also be the type of person to train and become a god at vim.

I use VS Code and love it, but only because I don't care about telemetry.

I'm at work and will probably have a look this weekend

>>799743

I'll take a look

>>799746

True, I'm just pissed it still exists, my work does medical related things and they dont even realize that I shouldn't have a pro edition of win10 because I need enterprise to actually turn off telemetry.. Their liability I guess

Use emacs or vim. I don't know why would people want to use editors like vs code, sublime or atom.

>dark color scheme, I am such a pro

>intellisense is so amazing

>look at me I am coder

>check out my github profile

>only progressive people are welcome here, be sure to adhere to our code of conduct

>yea I write open source with my bros

>electron is my favorite GUI framework

>linux lol, get a real OS

That's the kind of person I would imagine uses those editors.

>>799748

It was just recommended at work, I use a dark scheme for my eyes, but I have no loyalty. I havent touched vim or emacs, was always daunted by the huge scale of ambiguity, and most workplaces have had me use visual studio or eclipse

>>799753

>was always daunted by the huge scale of ambiguity

You don't really need to learn everything to start using those editors, saving/opening files and moving around is enough to get started (15 minutes to learn emacs tutorial or vimtutor). If you prefer editors for mortals look at kate, gedit or geany those are nice as well (lightweight, no telemetry). The reason why I don't like those "new" editors is the community behind them. Yes autistic reason, but if you search for something related to those editors or community of its users you will get a load of:

>>799734 (OP)

use this instead, free actual lightweight open sores editor that requires no learning curve and can be customized as you want

don't shit on dark color schemes faggot

t. badeyes

>>799769

This plugin enhances TA quite a bit imo.

>>799768

At work now, I'll get a good laugh out of those when I get home. I loved geany though a few years back.

>>799769

I'll check that out after another look at shougo vim mentioned above.

Thanks fullchan!!

If you work in dark environment then dark schemes make sense, but if you're in well lit place there is no benefit using dark color scheme. I see many people using dark color schemes in broad daylight, cranking backlight on their laptops to the max instead of using lighter color scheme to improve contrast between text and background. It's all about readability, using dark colors just for looks is stupid.

>>799777

>willingly going into well-lit places

get the fuck out normalfaggot.

>>799747

you said it was lightweight.

it isnt.

therefore you are retarded.

Neovim user here. Learning Vim is like learning a new language, you use keyboard keys to communicate with your text editor. Here is a good writeup on the topic:

https://gist.github.com/nifl/1178878

First thing you want to learn is the basics, the tutor will get you up an running in less than an hour. From there on it's all about "sharpening your saw" (i.e. customize the editor to your liking) and learning more about its features. Don't try to just copy-paste someone else's config, instead use Neovim vanilla and when you catch yourself thinking "there should be a better way" look for a solution. It took me about a week to get really comfortable in Vim, but after settling in it feels just so right. Again, it's like learning a language, you want to get the basics, then keep using the language and learn to form more and more complex sentences. Here are some good Vim videos to watch after you get familiar with the basics:

It's programming text editor for people who don't like to program, who just do it for the fashion. It's like having stores selling punk merchandise, it goes fully against what punk stands for, but idiots who like the fashion have deep pockets.

>>799778

I don't see any connection between normalfags and well-lit places. Are you pretending to be some faggy vampire or something that you need to live your life in the shadows.

>>799777

>using dark colors just for looks is stupid.

no captain retard, you just need good contrast which can be achieved with light or dark schemes.

light background is distracting and hurts your eyes because your pupils expand by looking at the light background all day.

>>799796

>pupils expand when looking at something that gives out lots of light

No major retard, that's not how it works.

>>799795

>I don't see any connection between normalfags and well-lit places.

Of course you wouldn't, normalfaggot.

>>799734 (OP)

Use a real text editor. Try vi (not vim, but regular old vi) or ed.

Stay away from Emacs, it's the Gentoo of text editors.

>>799781

Going back to a thread you saged to make a subjective point of what constitutes lightweight.. Edgy

>>799831

I'll keep that in mind, I wont touch emacs

Saging for the obvious derailment of the battle of light vs dark mode, I use dark mode, I don't think about it, then again I use f.lux all day long anywho, probably overkill.

nice damage control vs code shill

It's as worth using as Golang

a poopy rupie? on my /tech/ board??

it's more likely than you think!

agreed. all the kool kids are using remacs

so OP which editor are you using now?

>Inb4 vscode

>>800923

Work didn't give me a choice, still using geany at home, but honestly thw intellisense is so nice. I wouldnt mind digging through the source and compiling my own vs code platform that checks for my tin foil hat worries about telemetry

>>799831

>preferring vi over emacs

Chords > Modal

>b-but muh emacs pinky

Learn to remap your keyboard. Control should be where alt is and Alt should be where capslock is.

Sorry but we use Vim
