TextAdept has been around for ages. It's a great lightweight editor.
However, it is missing a lot of features I've grown used to in (arguably more baroque) editors like Emacs, Helix and VS Code. Mostly stuff that builds on LSP.
When I last tried it (admittedly almost two years ago), it didn't have Rust syntax support at all and I couldn't get LSP (which has a plugin module made by the main developer at https://github.com/orbitalquark/textadept-lsp https://github.com/orbitalquark/textadept-lsp) to work at all.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone tried it more recently and has had a better experience.
- Narishma 3y agoIt does support Rust syntax in the current version. It seems to have an LSP module but I haven't tested it.
- dkh 3y agoHow has your experience with Helix been?
- sspiff 3y agoRather good, once you get used to the key bindings. Language server integration is very good and I love how I can use it without any custom configuration.
