Speaking of Linux, are there any other editors we can use today? I tried to look for one recently but couldn't find anything. (edit: I mean collaborative editors)
- CodeCompost 3y agoYou're joking, right?
- ufo 3y agoLooking for collaborative editors in particular. Two people editing at once, on different computers. Each person has their own copy of the file, on disk.
- stevage 3y agoI'm curious about your use case?
- fredoliveira 3y agoThis is a pretty common use case. Remote pair programming, interviews, etc, all rely on this same basic idea.
- ufo 3y agoAuthoring Latex documents. I want a non-browser alternative to Overleaf. When the paper is close to done, me and my colleague are on voice call, editing the same file. But we both want to be able to compile it to PDF, to be able to see the figures.
- OccamsMirror 3y agoBoth VSCode and Intellij can perform this function.
- politelemon 3y agonano, pico, vim, VS Code, Brackets, Notepadqq, Gedit, Kate, Leafpad, Geany
- cstrahan 3y agoHelix is another interesting option: https://helix-editor.com/ https://helix-editor.com/
- level87 3y agoI love helix, everything just works
- greyw 3y agoemacs.
- ufo 3y agoI was particularly looking for collaborative editing; two people editing the same file at once and each has a local copy of the file so they can run the code. Perhaps one could use a normal editor for this if there were some underlying command-line tool and/or plugin to do the actual file synchronization. Do you know of any?
- ants_everywhere 3y agoGNU Screen does this https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/manual/html_node/Multiuser-Session.html https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/manual/html_node/Multius...

- iruoy 3y agoAll JetBrains IDEs work on Linux and all electron apps of course. Lapce seems like Zed and is already available on Linux. So is Sublime Text. There's a whole list here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_of_applications/Documents#Graphical https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_of_applications/Docume...
- SCdF 3y agoCollaborative editors I presume you mean? Because 99% of popular editors have linux builds. Anyway, the VSCode plugin ecosystem is probably your best bet there: https://code.visualstudio.com/learn/collaboration/live-share https://code.visualstudio.com/learn/collaboration/live-share
- ufo 3y agoPrecisely, I'm looking for collaborative editors. Thanks for the suggestion, I hadn't seen this one. Unfortunately, it seems that this plugin only shares the editor window and does not keep a local copy of the files. I was wishing for something that would let both sides run & compile the code during the editing session, without having to stop for git push. https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/live-share/issues/3524 https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/live-share/issues/3524
- jasonjmcghee 3y agoJetbrains allows both users to execute / debug but it’s all on the host machine. What you’re talking about sounds like you should do an rsync script that watches file changes, but seems like a good way to constantly be breaking the other persons workflow. git solves these problems- feels like the right tool. But maybe I’m missing something about your workflow

- starkparker 3y agoGobby is mostly dead but still works. Win/Linux; macOS builds have gotten harder now that it's been about 3 years since the last release: https://gobby.github.io/ https://gobby.github.io/ EDIT: It's apparently on Macports as of quite recently, though the port health for recent macOS releases looks bad.
- msephton 3y agoIt's Mac but SubEthaEdit is collaborative.
