Text editors

My preferred text editors are Sublime Text (GUI) and micro (TUI). Both are cross-platform and ship with sensible keyboard bindings.

My configurations are shown below. These follow well-established conventions for C code; other languages have different (worse) standards. I do not use any extensions.

Sublime Text


{
        "ui_scale": 1.2,
        "font_size": 11,
        "rulers": [80],
        "tab_size": 8,
        "translate_tabs_to_spaces": true,
        "detect_indentation": false,
        "word_wrap": true,
        "ensure_newline_at_eof_on_save": true,
        "spell_check": true,
        "dictionary": "Packages/Language - English/en_GB.dic",
}

micro


{
        "autosu": true,
        "colorcolumn": 80,
        "softwrap": true,
        "tabsize": 8,
        "wordwrap": true,
        "tabstospaces": true,
}
