Spring RTS Engine

Hi. What Editor/IDE do you people use for editing Lua for Spring?
I only tried Kate from KDE and Eclipse.
Kate seems to have broken syntax highlighting definition.

Is there a chance of having documentation integrated into IDE for functions, or "Ctrl+Space" ?

i use normal/simple word-editor of win xp

Althought I do not much lua, I use kdevelop (3) which has a working syntax highlighting

I use Notepad++.

I mixed the all-in-one lua download's eclipse with a normal eclipse download, and somewhere in there I have an up-to-date copy with popup function documentation and F5 to run.

vim

Depending on which version of kate you use, you may be able update the Lua syntax definition.

(Seems KDE4 version doesn't have this anymore, but I remember I had to do this in my kate on Ubuntu 8.04 to get proper syntax highlighting.)

Oh and btw, I use kate

kate is awesome, my preffered choice when I was at uni.

Anyway, notepad++ for me on windows.

I use Notpad++. It does the syntax coloring for Lua, and (but never used that) autocomplete with ctrl+spacebar, ctrl+enter.

But you don't really need a complete IDE for Lua.

SciTE. Free, open-source, lightweight and has all the important features. Will colorize Lua, load a "session" of open tabs and run Lua scripts with F5 (useful to syntax-check before loading in Spring). Also has an excellent "find in files" implementation.

Err, I meant scite. I blame the s and c sounds!

I use notepad++ a lot too, but not when I'm devving a big thing that needs to run a lot.

He asked for a text editor, not an operating system!

lulz

Notepad++ for me, though I will go and check out scite for all its holiness.

What, you go out of your way to turn off the syntax highlighting? What?

No, he never uses the autocomplete feature.

I use regular old notepad

who needs syntax highlighting

I do a lot of my programming in the current operating system's basic text editor... though I go for textmate and coda on osx
