Accessing vim from ssh is a definitely a benefit for those who use it; especially with GNU Screen since you can suspend, resume or even share a terminal session with someone else.)
I do like sublime text when I'm working with others, so they can take the driver's seat from time to time. But when I'm working alone, I stay in the terminal because screen+vim allows me to stay in a single environment for all of my work.
- nuclear_eclipse 14y agoThe SFTP plugin for Sublime allows me to operate on remote files via ssh/sftp quite easily. Set up a local directory with a simple config file with the remote server and file path, and it takes care of the rest. When opening a file, it will automatically sync it down from the server, and when I save the file, it automatically pushes it back up to the server so I can immediately test it from there. And because I keep a dedicated terminal session up, it's a simple alt-tab to switch over and test my changes. The best of both worlds, if you will.
- johncoltrane 14y agoYou know you can use Vim to edit remote files locally, right? Or use it from any graphical FTP client?
- nuclear_eclipse 14y agoIf I'm going to run my editor locally, why not use something that's better fitted to running in a graphical context, rather than something limited to the terminal?
