Those would typically be considered features for an external tool, maybe with the editor configured to provide an interface to those tools.
If you write java and value those features, though IDEA will be a better experience.
- stephenr 11y agoReally? An external tool that isn't a text based editor but does have in depth knowledge of the code? I've never heard of such a thing. Also for reference I don't really write Java. I write php, sql, shell scripts, ldif files, html, occasionally JavaScript and/or css, lua...
- pdpi 11y ago> An external tool that isn't a text based editor but does have in depth knowledge of the code? It's called a "compiler" ;) Jokes aside, here's a few tools that might give you an idea what's out there: - Racer for rust - Go fmt - Youcompleteme - ghc-mod

(The gofmt example I kept finding was renaming a field in a struct) Oh and a plugin specifically for Vim, so not an external tool at all.. So, basically the answer is the same as before: an IDE is still where it's at.
