Anyone using emacs with BlitzMax

| Is anyone here using emacs to edit BlitzMax code? I've really come to love emacs for editing php and text in general, but haven't tried it with Blitz. |

| This post was not posted in the linux forum by mistake, so no need to move it. emacs is an open source text editor that's been around for ages. I was not thinking of the Apple eMac. While emacs runs on Mac and Windows, I'm pretty sure it's got the biggest following among Linux users. :) |

| Yeah, I guess the moderators are mostly Windows junkies... ;-) Can't say I've ever been tempted to try emacs again since my Amiga days. I could never get my head around all those keyboard combinations. I much prefer vi (yes, really!). As a programmers editor, it really rocks. |

| I've looked at vi a bit too, but not spent enough time with to learn how to use it properly. I can edit text, but only know a few of the commands. I've mainly used it to edit config files on servers where emacs is not installed. :) If I find the time, I might sit down and learn how to use it effectively. Do you us vi to edit BlitzMax code? |
| ||
| Not really. I can usually get away with gedit or similar. I use vi for "work" stuff on unix/linux - Informix 4GL, shell scripts, etc. To use vi, it would really need some syntax colouring. |

| I'm using geany but for c++. I tried emacs but couldn't find a shortcuts sidebar which is essential for me so I gave up. I might as well just use gedit if there's no shortcuts. |

| TBH i dont think i could go back to an oldskool text editor except in a non graphical emergency. |
