Does a cross-platform editor exist with a tree view on the left and a plaintext editor on the right?
Vim with extensions (I think its called nerdtree)
I always find those vim extensions super clunky to use, I'm looking for something GUI based
You don't even need extensions, just type :Lex.
Cool thanks
I’ve been using one called fern recently, since i’m using a bitmap font and every other tree program seems agressively set on forcing you into using nerd-fonts or fontawesome
literally vscode
I should have specified no electronshit
I'm literally just looking for the equivalent of Notepad or TextEdit but with a file tree on the side
Stupid c**t
>what a stupid c**t to reject the inevitable israelitegle future
CudaText then
What if I have an AMD GPU though? Is there a manufacturer agnostic OpenCLText?
sublime text is GPU accelerated and agnostic
Kate?
works on windows, linux and macos
How do you get kate to run without LSP client hogging off all cpu and make the fan running at high all the time? I have been using nvim + LSP client for about a year now never have I ever encountered this problem.
either upgrade your toaster or stop falling forIQfy memes

OP:
>I don't want anything more than a plaintext editor with a file tree
moronic shills:
>Try this resource intensive webshit IDE from microwiener that comes loaded with extensions
Try VSCode.
Sublime text should do for you :^}
LunarVim
Kate
try lite-xl its super small and has good enough feature like ctrl-p and project search you can also ignore directories from project search and ctrl p, its not even 10 mb and looks really great out of the box
This is really great, I just installed it and it feels faster than even sublime text, and miles ahead of VS code
Haven't seen new software this high quality in a while
Thanks for the recommendation
my reaction was also like that also when it comes to some new programming languages they probably don't have good enough plugins on vscode beyond syntax high lighting so its kind of silly to use that resource hog when it doesn't even do anything special, so i use this for things like zig. al though zig has gotten a language server now.
The fonts in lite-xl are plain awful
I haven't used lite-xl, but I can't imagine the font isn't a setting.
very nice
Good shit. Vscode equivalent that launchs faster than my app launcher and looks more smooth than my terminal. Too bad the vi plugin is half assed.
>; works
>, not implemented
wtf
Never heard of this before, thank you, based anon.
Emacs. You're welcome.
unironically soiblime text 3
vim, you can use netrw as a tree viewer.
Emacs
sublime text
File > Open folder
jetbrains gonna make their own "vscode" i think, dont know if its released yet though
and vscodium is a alternative to vscode, just without telemetry
we boycott jetbrains, imbesil
boycott it yourself, pleb
i use geany and it can do that
i'm not a programmer i just like it as a general text editor
vim + nerdtree, emacs + neotree
A tree view on the left is an incredible waste of space to begin with, and there are many much more efficient ways of switching between files.
werks on my monitor.
Not with that UI scaling.
what are the better ways to switch between files??
:b filename<TAB>
:e filename<TAB>
am i supposed to remember the name of the 500 files in each project i work in?
A proper editor should prompt you with a list of files to scroll through. Emacs and neovim can easily be set to do this, idk if OG vim can though.
so why not have that list always present?
To each his own. But like others said it's just visual clutter.
if your project have that many files you have failed as a developer.
>inb4 NEET
don't care how much $ you make, if your glorified database CRUD interface( knows as professional enterprise software ) has that many files, your project is objectively wrong and shit
the linux kernel has like 100k files
please, do not compare your crud aplication with an operating system kernel that has a bazilion drivers for a bazilion different hardware
Tell me you never worked with the kernel source without telling me you never worked with the kernel source.
You never edit 100k files at once, and you never edit two totally different files at once. You only work on a single subsystem (a few dozen of files at most) at a time.
75k
>if your project have that many files you have failed as a developer.
Depends on the language. In Java, the language literally forces you to have thousands of files.
The vast majority of times that you swap between files, you're switching between two or a small set of files. I've bound M-RET in Emacs to swap between the two last-viewed buffers, or take a numerical argument for older buffers, so M-2 M-RET so recall the second-last-used buffer. It is quite fast and convenient. For anything older than that, C-x b filena<TAB> is completely fine.
>am i supposed to remember the name of the 500 files in each project i work in?
Unless you're a moron, you would be familiar with the names of the files you are actively working on, yes. For anything else, C-x C-f is entirely fine and far better than pointing-and-clicking through a GUI tree.
>unemployed - the post
Please elaborate.
but why
why do you need to remember this constantly?
you can't remember what file you are in?
or where the file is in the structure?
maybe think about refactoring

>vim
Profit.
emacs + treemacs
this
What font fellow emacs friend
iosevka
emacs with treemacs
Sublime Text 4 is my pick
vim has a customisable file explorer built into it which you can call with :Explore
kek, much better then nerdtree, if you stick with vim long enough, you will figure that most extensions just do what vim does but worse
Vanilla VS Code.
Acme. It's even more extensible than emacs and vi/m if you want more features
Bluefish, but it's designed to be an HTML editor. No reason you can't use it for plain text or other languages too though.
Lol emavs
Just get the explorer plugin for notepad++ op
https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-explorer/
how is that different than the built-in "workspaces" thing?
Enki and jEdit are good options. Not electron either. Enki is mostly written in python and jEdit is written in java.
neovim
anon... that's literally vscode
I would say you could setup emacs for this, but you'll probably end up using vscode.
See:
you can use atom if you like necrophilia
vscode

neovim
