This is pretty much it(for ruby developers atleast….). ido absolutely rocks(even if you are an iswitch guy, you definitely want to give this a shot)!!! It makes switching buffers/finding files/commands…. Ido: This is really a ‘must have’ add-on. Window numbering allocates numbers to every window in the frame, and allows you to navigate seamlessly with M-(x is the window number). Window-numbering-mode: If you are planning to use emacs with ecb… don’t miss this one. IDEs like IntelliJ Idea let you define templates which can be used for generating well structured but repetitive code. This one lets you define snippets(some developers call this feature live-templates). It runs your tests in place and has a few sensible defaults like running test every time you save the test/spec file. Test-runner: This is a killer even though it doesn’t look like one. This has a few shortcuts that are very useful for people doing RoR webapps. Rinari: This is the ruby on rails addon which i really love. (i keep pabbrev disabled, once again… personal preference) Ruby Mode: This defines Ruby mode(major mode) and has Ruby electric(minor mode) etc….
RUBY ON RAILS EDITOR FOR WINDOWS FREE INSTALL
Install cedet before you install ECB(ECB needs cedet). It gives you a few other great things like method browser and stuff.
RUBY ON RAILS EDITOR FOR WINDOWS FREE CODE
Mac users have a few options here, i used Carbon Emacs(personal preference).ĮCB(Emacs Code Browser): This is a brilliant replacement for TextMate sidebar(the little window on one of the sides that acts as a handy file browser) in Emacs. Being an ex-TextMate-user, i think a lot of other TextMate guys willing to try Emacs may find this post useful… So here is what my setup looks like….Įmacs(mac version): The editor itself. I spent last few days setting Emacs up to my taste… and having used it for a few days now, i got so addicted to it, that i have deleted TextMate altogether from my Mac. Infact nothing comes close to a well tuned Emacs. with sensible tweaking, Emacs is capable of outshining anything else(yes… and that anything else includes TextMate). (i have a bunch of reasons, but i will keep those for another post), however, a ruby developer using TextMate would find it difficult to live with a not-so-good editor(especially so, when moving to other operating systems). I don’t feel too excited about my OS X Leopard anymore and im planning to move back to Ubuntu/Debian…. Besides that, it is not available for all operating systems(those who have used TextMate know its available only for MacOS). Ever since i started using TextMate, the fact that it was a non-free ware and i couldn’t hack it kept me uncomfortable. Im a GNU/linux fan to the core, so sooner or later this was gonna happen.
