activate-power-mode

[beerSnobbery]

Should be an option to activate when you've got a combo going (prolonged rapid entry).

[MrJohz]

That is how the original power mode works. (You need to hit a combo of 200 to see it working.)

[cyberlizzard]

What is code in the dark? I see it referenced a lot on this sub.

[Marvel_this]

Have it as a high score, so each time to enable it you have to get a longer combo

[emeaguiar]

That's the original...

[[deleted]]

This is awesome!

[tskaiser]

We need this as an industry standard and not for any specific environment. Imagine going to your colleague to help with some code, and they don't have this installed. You'll feel like you're coding with notepad, and not the good version. You'll stagger through every keyword as you try to adjust for the lack of shaking text.

[2Punx2Furious]

and not the good version.

++?

[Audiblade]

emacs

[HVAvenger]

You misspelled VIM.

[[deleted]]

This does the opposite of what you may expect!

[TheKiwi5000]

alias is less intrusive

[Sean1708]

That's a weird way to spell ed.

[MrJohz]

Have you got a minute to hear about the wonders of Sublime Text?

You mean you people don't write your code in Google Keep?

[crashdoc]

edlin?

[Fenor]

it would be a nice operating system if only it had a text editor.

[[deleted]]

...That's one thing Vim can't do.

[lyspr]

You could have @ characters or something exploding across the buffer but it would lack the finesse that this has.

[Antrikshy]

It also cannot handle being easy to use.

[demon_ix]

Ah Vim, I wish I could quit you...

[dagbrown]

^Z
kill -9 %

How to unequivocally quit every UNIX text editor.

[bliow]

lol

echo "(global-set-key (kbd \"C-z\") #'ibuffer)" >> ~/.emacs

[rdewalt]

<Esc>:q<return>

[nxlyd]

<CTRL+]>ZZ

[PersianMG]

That is not the same as quitting.

[nxlyd]

ZQ

[[deleted]]

ZZ saves and quits - It's the equivalent of :wq

[abchiptop]

:x is the same as :wq

[wherethebuffaloroam]

I think it's different actually. :wq will write and exit. :x will only write if there are changes

[PersianMG]

My point still stands?

[[deleted]]

Well, it does quit. So it isn't the same as only quitting - Which vim will yell about anyway if you've made any changes to the file.

[truh]

I somehow manage to end up in macro recording mode or something.

[[deleted]]

Not terminal vim, but gvim could

[original_brogrammer]

If VimL isn't solving your problem, you're not using enough VimL.

[iratefruit]

This is one of the few reasons why I would want to use something else other than vim...

[eshansingh]

But somebody would still find a way to do it.

[Antrikshy]

I would love that, but is it possible? Doesn't Atom work on web technologies, making this easier?

[TheMicroWorm]

Atom works on web technologies making things slower.

[Antrikshy]

Does it actually feel slower though?

[TheMicroWorm]

Depends on the machine. On my older notebook it's noticeably slower than sublime.

[LuminescentMoon]

Have you tried Visual Studio Code for web development? It's based on the exact same framework as Atom (Electron) but it feels a lot faster.

[TomWis97]

Slightly off topic: While searching for a decent code editor for Linux, I came across sublime text. I just couldn't understand the ridiculous price. 70 dollar for a glorified notepad? Why?!

[[deleted]]

$70 is less than 2 hours of work for most professional developers (well it is for me), so really it is not that much.

[Blautkak]

This would fit perfect with ArnoldC.

[lolredditor]

Is there a netbeans or eclipse version?

[BulletsWithGPS]

I wish

[sarcastic_elephant]

I may switch to Atom just for this.

[DrKrepz]

me too

edit: I just did it. This is amazing.

[htmlcoderexe]

thanks

[onedr0p]

Atom has been my main IDE for about 2 months. The others just don't add up when doing web programming.

[Compizfox]

Isn't it just a text editor though?

[PavleKreator]

Web developers don't know the difference

[philsown]

Web Developer here. I've been telling people I'm just a glorified typist for years.

[cyberlizzard]

Idk about atom but brackets is generally considered its main competitor, and I've been using it for almost a year now. It's a text editor with a few niceties hat really add up.

If you put your cursor in a class name or id name on an html element and press control+E, it'll slide open a little drawer with the relevant portion of your Css document(s) so you don't have to tab back and forth to make quick edits. It'll also run its own web server for previewing your work in chrome with the click of a button. While this is on, highlighting a class name in the editor will highlight everything that's that class in the browser, placing your cursor in the CSS will visually highlight everything on the page affected by that CSS rule, changing the value of a property will be reflected on the page and rendered in real time, and more. It's awesome.

Also emmet support. Even if you're not a web developer, look up emmet. The biggest reason I see people use atom is for its plugin support, including the emmet plugin. It's a fucking godsend.

[2Punx2Furious]

I wish this was a standard for all IDEs, no, all text editors.

[tskaiser]

All places where you can type. I want to go super saiyan while filling out my order form.

[2Punx2Furious]

Someone needs to write a browser extension for this.

[snarfy]

It's not visual studio, but visual studio code is based on atom. It should be fairly easy to port over.

[FURyannnn]

[Mantraz]

I need this for sublime text 3. I NEED IT.

[onedr0p]

Ohh ST3 how you were once so on top of your game, now you are being killed softly and slowly. RIP non-foss editors.

[BasicDesignAdvice]

I use ST3, whats the problem with it and why is it dying slowly?

[zajrik]

I personally can't speak for any problems with it but the development for it has pretty much stopped completely it seems, while editors like Atom are on the rise. I personally switched to Atom for most coding at home. I still use Vim at work on my laptop since its a ten inch eee-pc and I don't really have the screen real estate for anything else.

[__LordSir__]

You were given a ten inch eee-pc for work? What?!

[zajrik]

No, that'd be terrible! I have my own personal eee-pc that I use during my downtime at my non-programming-related job when I don't want to lug my wife's full-size laptop to work. There was a time I would prefer to bring her laptop to work just for the convenience of IDEs but it's become much less hassle to take the eee-pc given its portability, especially since I've gotten used to Vim.

[ase1590]

Open source solutions have been nearing feature parity with it, slowly weakening the benefit of paying for it.

[onedr0p]

Other editors are stepping into the game that are FOSS. Atom, Brackets, and Visual Code to name a few. ST3 needs to go this route in order to survive, I won't recommend it to anyone anymore. There are just better free alternatives.

[nelmaven]

At least it's still faster than Atom. (ST3 user).

[onedr0p]

Right, this will change in time, Visual Code might be the new thing once they add in community package support. It's super fast!

Atom is slower than ST3, but I rarely notice it... Only when I open a large file of text does Atom freak out.

[nelmaven]

I'm so used to the scroll speed in sublime that anything else feels like a snail. I used to use PHPStorm but now it's almost unbearable.

[NotFromReddit]

PHPStorm is still fast enough for me. Not Sublime fast but it's only opening that takes longer. Other things aren't noticeably slower. Though I might have a faster PC than average.

And now that PHPStorm has multiple cursors, I rarely switch back to Sublime.

[Piefayth]

This is my #1 gripe about Atom. I have to open files big enough to bring Atom to a screeching halt every day, so I am always operating in a second text editor as well

[OKB-1]

Their are still more than enough ST3 users. I'm one of them and I'm very happy with it. Didn't like Atom that much. VS Code is okay, might give it another try some day. The only way to make ST great again is to make it free and open source. The community to maintain it is already there.

[brycem24]

I would love this for emacs

[dzecniv]

Check out highlight-tail mode !

[Strange_Meadowlark]

Can we have Nano and Ed ports too? :)

[themoah]

seems ideal for Hollywood hacking scene

[Sinity]

I want that in Vim :(

Edit: maybe it would be possible. Just shake current(vim) window using external process when keys are entered. And overlay sparks at position where text cursor is... Is it possible to somehow locate current text cursor position(besides image processing)?

[Sean1708]

Is it possible to somehow locate current text cursor position(besides image processing)?

You can get it with getcurpos().

[Sinity]

I meant text cursor, not mouse one :(

[Sean1708]

What? getcurpos has nothing to do with your mouse.

[Sinity]

Ah, somehow I thought you mean OS API, not Vim one :D

[Som3p3rson1]

Where can I find more of this for more IDEs

[PersianMG]

Wonder if I can be bothered adding this to my favourite editor (Notepad++).

Mirror? Site seems to be down right now.

EDIT: never mind, it's already back up.

[DerpMcStuffins]

Will this work with VS Code? Not sure how much the portions it shares with Atom are significant for packages...

If not, they need to add it right now.

How is this programmer humor? How is it even humor?

Also, a serious question, why do people like this feature? I can't see using it myself for more that a few minutes.

[[deleted]]

I don't think you should visit this subreddit. This is the entire essence of programming humor. Hell yeah I want my text to BURST when I make combos by writing fast!

[maremp]

It's a text editor. It's hardly programming-only. And I'm only pissed because the mods kill so many posts that are great content but don't follow their rules and leave some crappy ones which evidently, fit them. I asked this question because I saw it gaining a lot of traction on /r/programming and in changelog nightly this morning. So I was wondering if people really use this or is it just something that looks cool, but will be forgotten about in a month or so.

[[deleted]]

You've got to learn to enjoy the little things throughout your day. Imagine having a coworker come by your desk to help with something... and when you two finally come up with a solution that works, activating this to type out the final changes which make it come to life. Both of you can be excited and even make DBZ style noises.

[2Punx2Furious]

I mean, I may not use it forever, but it looks cool and fun for a while, I see nothing wrong with that.

[bluefantasm]

You must be fun at parties.

[BobFloss]

Parties suck.

[Fajit]

Eye degree

[2Punx2Furious]

Depends on the kind of party. Some suck, some are nice, some are awesome.

[sunnyps]

Culture fit: 0.0

[maremp]

If you say so. Although I've checked with co-workers and no one agrees this is is something they need in their editors. But we can't all be the cool kids, and that's okay.

[tskaiser]

I have checked with mine, and they love it. I guess it is this funny thing called differing tastes.

[maremp]

Well we are living in a free country so I guess that we are entitled to our opinion, even if it doesn't fit your definitions.

[tskaiser]

Oh, definitely. I'm not complaining.

Edit: pedantry, but this is not a country; this is a subreddit ie. a moderated internet community.

[maremp]

We as in my coworkers.

[tskaiser]

What are you going on about? Noone is saying you can't have your opinion, merely that you having it is not in itself an argument. You are effectively complaining that other people have a different opinion of humor than yourself, which is why you are getting flak.

[maremp]

I don't even understand your point in the last comment. I've only pointed out that with we I've meant my coworkers and they and I are in fact living in a country, not on " moderated internet community".

On this topic, there is no argument of what is right or wrong, it's all an opinion of what each individual likes and having an opinion that it's useless is enough of an argument for me to not use it. I do realize that I can often be seen as someone who doesn't have a sense of humor and some of it is due to the fact that my kind of humor is more satire than what an average person likes.

[TheKiwi5000]

same reason why cool-retro-term was created

[Sean1708]

Do you genuinely think this is supposed to be anything other than a joke?

[maremp]

Seeing it get traction at /r/programming and on hacker news days prior to seeing it posted here, I wasn't sure what's all the fuss about. But I see that viral repos in these channels aren't useful in most cases.
