I use nvi or acme, with some help from go doc and a script "g" that uses grep -n or grep -rn. nvi when I am mostly just typing as its keystrokes are in my muscle memory. acme for editing, browsing, building. It uses multiple windows quite well so I can see N files open at once, arranged the way I want. In contrast, IDEs are much too regimental about how your screen real-estate should be used and end up using it rather inefficiently. I don't particularly care for syntax coloring or function name completion etc. What would be helpful is if 'go doc' had an -n option to show filename:linenumer next to the go definitions its shows so that I can right click on it and see the source file with cursor on the right line! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
