![]() Regarding "While our development team is good, they cannot fix issues they are not aware of": They are aware now :-) Keep me posted. I'm currently evaluating it as a viable editing option. Textadept 11.2: Textadept is a cross-platform text editor designed especially for programmers looking for a fast and lightweight tool to assist them in their daily work. So I am excited to try out the relatively new textadept-curses terminal editor. I'm sure I don't need to go into details here about why developers either love or (mostly) hate these editors. Up until recently there's only been Emacs and vi(m). I've been waiting over 15 years for a half decent terminal programmer's editor to appear for Linux. Regarding "Did you previously use SecureCRT/Windows with textadept?": No. But isn't SecureCRT for Unix/Linux mostly the same code base as the Windows SecureCRT? Regarding "SecureCRT has only been available for Unix/Linux platforms since v6.7": Sure. This was referring to the original date of creation of the performance problem thread in August 2011 see. Regarding "a long time": Sorry for the confusion. The disturbing issue and the steps to reproduce it are described above. Question: Could you describe in more detail your experience with SecureCRT and tmux vs terminal and tmux?Īnswer: I have noticed minimal performance issues - which are not so disturbing so far - between SecureCRT and tmux. The steps described above to reproduce the flickering problem are todo with screen redrawing. Question: As far as tmux goes, I can see in SecureCRT v7.1 is improved, but still slower with respect to scrolling, but I saw little difference otherwise when running it natively vs in SecureCRT (on CentOS).Īnswer: I haven't tested scrolling or been doing much scrolling. Question: Is the "Minimize drawing (faster)" option enabled or disabled? (Session Options / Terminal category)Īnswer: Flicker happens with or without this option set. terminal is "rock solid" with no flickering. As you press the up and down arrow keys to navigate in the box then SecureCRT will flicker "like there's no tomorrow" but e.g. A small box pops up with various a* word choices. Type 'a' and then Meta-Enter (ALT-Enter on my box see in SecureCRT you may need to map Alt-RETURN to \033\n\033\n to make this work) which tries to command complete the word a. The cursor should now be at the top left hand corner. Run the following command to generate a small text file and then edit it: 'll /usr/bin/ > /tmp/foo.txt. Question: Taking tmux out of the equation for the moment, under what circumstances do you see the poor performance/flickering in SecureCRT?Īnswer: Leaving tmux out of it: I got the latest textadept 6.6 beta from. Also, as TA doesn't show any icon in Windows by default, be advised that various graphics are available in its core\images subfolder, including a 32x32 icon.Question: What operating system is SecureCRT installed on? Oh, and TA is able to recognize file types by extension, 'shebang' ("#!/path/to/exe") or any first line pattern. Some quick notes to minimize the estrangement one might feel when using TA for the first time: there is no settings, preferences, or configuration dialog - the closest thing you'll get is the save/load session file menu options although TA is able to work with multiple documents, it doesn't show tabs for them - to see its document list (buffers in TA lingo), type CTRL-B lastly, don't dismiss TA as an arcane entity from the Open Source netherworld - try it and you'll surely be impressed by how lightning fast it is. Nevertheless, TA appears to be natively portable via the use of its '-u' command line parameter (but since it expects a full path passed to it - for info, see the _USERHOME function explanation at - I put together a minimal yaP launcher, available at ). 0718.html, possible obsolescence discussed at. TA has its own PAF launcher, TextAdept-Portable (presented at. TextAdept GUI (customized with the green-mango theme found at the wiki)Ĭurses version (console, where, for some unbeknownst reason, I was unable to type Capitals.) Written in a combination of C and Lua and relentlessly optimized for speed and minimalism over the years, Textadept is an ideal editor for programmers who want endless extensibility without sacrificing speed or succumbing to code bloat and featuritis.
