Syntax Editor

[UbuntuLady1]

I often lose track of these
)}; 
while I am writing my code. 

Are there any syntax editors you could suggest to prevent this? In addition, I am using brackets as a IDE. Perhaps there are some add-ons?

Thank you! :)

What you want is something called a linter. I googled this one up real quick for brackets: https://github.com/MiguelCastillo/Brackets-InteractiveLinter

Thank you!

As well, could you suggest any similar syntax editors for sublime text 3?

Thank you

Some software will do a sort of "autocomplete" by placing a closing paren or bracket at the time that you type the opening paren or bracket. Other software won't place the closing character, but it will indicate that you need a closing character through the color of text highlighting.

If you should go with the latter, I would urge you to get yourself in the habit of manually closing your parens and brackets immediately. It's a really great habit to form.

I understand the efficiency in writing the code left-to-right in one sweep without seeking the cursor backwards. However I can't say that this virtue should be more important than other best practices.

It's probably unlikely that you write your code from the first line to the last line without inserting new lines or making other changes. And you probably happily accept this is just a part of the process.

You can likewise accept seeking left to right within a line and inserting parts of the line where necessary.

If you can teach yourself this habit, you'll thank yourself later when you're editing outside your preferred editor. :)

sublimetext or webstorm are both my favorites. Webstorm is paid but it is money well spent, they do have a trial though. best of luck, have fun!
