Hi All. First off i'm a linux newbiew, but donno if this go in the newbiews section or not.
I'm currently learning C++ and am looking for a programming editor that offers the
three things listed below:
1 - Syntax highlighting - whi8ch most do seem to have
2 - Line numbers - again all seem to have
3 - automatic indentation after you put those curly braces in - you know, { and }
Every editor i've looked at/used has the first two features but not the third - or mabe the option needs to be turned on and i can't find it. Anyway, can someone please, help me or recommend an editor.
Thnx
Most editors I have used have all the options you are looking for. Some have them all enabled by default and in others, you have to configure the editor to use those settings/options. The most common editors are VIM and Emacs. I personally use KATE on KDE and sometimes VIM.
Yeah, kate is my favorite as well. (though I prefer emacs to Vi)
kate also has a neat plug in which is a CPP object browser
(well, not in ubuntu...but it's there if KDE is built from source....*grumbles about using this broken disto*)
on top of kate is the KDevelope IDE (which uses kate as the editor) for a more feature filled C++ coding experience (though not so great for learning C/C++)
