Hello, I'm also using emacs with auctex, currently using reftex, but will have a look at ebib. -m On October 24, 2016 5:14:02 AM PDT, Michael Eidenbenz wrote:

Hi,

I use emacs with the spacemacs distribution. To manage my bibliographies (and also images) I use ebib (http://joostkremers.github.io/ebib/ http://joostkremers.github.io/ebib/) instead of reftex.

Regards, Michael

Hi all,

I just edited http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Text_Editors, reordered, updated, killed some discontinued programs etc.

I didn’t delete wiki pages of outdated apps, though.

There’s still a lot of room for enhancement, e.g. the feature columns make no sense this way.

I’d like to know: - What editor(s) do you use for ConTeXt? - Are there any other editors with ConTeXt (not only LaTeX) support?

How about including the vim support files in the distribution (like the SciTE support files)?

I recently discovered Textadept, a relative of SciTe’s, also available for OSX - did anyone try to adapt SciTE ConTeXt support for that?

Hi, thank you for your contributions and sorry for deleting TextMate. Am 2016-10-25 um 18:19 schrieb Nicola :

- jEdit (http://www.jedit.org), good for TeX and LilyPond;

On OSX, jEdit is no fun. LilyPondTool for jEdit is deprecated (if it still works at all, it didn’t for me years ago). For LilyPond there’s nothing better than Frescobaldi (except Emacs, vi and ed, of course).

- TextWrangler (shameless plug: I wrote decent syntax support for MetaPost/MetaFun);

I’m still using that, too (but switching). Where can we find your support files?

- Atom (https://atom.io): I have not used it much, but it has lots of plugins, so chances are that there is some good TeX stuff.

After a short test I like it very much. Back in the early days of OSX I loved AlphaX (written in Tcl); I just checked: the project is still/again active (http://alphacocoa.sourceforge.net). There are really a lot of tiny details that makes an editor "favourite" or not. For me, it’s often the key bindings (they need to work with a German keyboard layout, TextWrangler fails at that) and behaviour like: - mark some lines, press Tab or Shift-Tab to indent/outdent (not: replace text with tab) - mark some text, type brace/bracket/quote to surround, not replace, the text - mark text, click-and-move to move (not copy), alt-click to copy - mouse movement/scrolling must never change the file/buffer (problem of many tab widgets) - just the right visibility of space characters (some editors highlight them too much) Good search-and-replace (with regexes) is essential; TextWrangler is quite usable in that regard, but it shouldn’t use an extra window. I loved Smultron’s search bar. I like TextWrangler’s list of open files as a side bar better than "tabs".

I didn't know that (I haven't used jEdit for a while). Too bad.

I used to be very proficient at writing in machine code and reading punch tape output, too...

I sometimes wonder how I could write those self adapting programs in 256 bytes on those 8 bit dev boards, programs that actually did something ... (no typesetting). No punchtapes but just 0/1 related sounds piped into a cassette deck. (Interesting what solutions one comes up with in internet-less times.)
