Html is off. [quote][i]Originally posted by alex24[/i] [br]Will there be a linux version or standalone editor I've use VC6 and Visual Assist as an editor for a long time. Yes, I just use it as an editor. I use it with many other toolchains: with samba and plink for linux. with mingw for windows, (I just don't like cl.exe) with gcc-arm-none-eabi for stm32. with ndk for android. and so on. I wrote a script tool to switch among the above platforms, by modify some registry. All works well, except some minimus issue, such as VC6 not understand utf-8 code, can not set to unix file format, Visual Assist does not understand some gcc extension syntax. Recently, I tried to switch to linux, and Visual Assist is the only thing that I have to use on windows. I use wine for it. It can work with some versin of wine, but some version not. I also tried some other solutions, clion and vim + YouCompleteMe, but they are not as good as Visual Assist for me. I even tried to modify notepad++ to a fake VC6 to make it work with Visual Assist, but seems too much work. So will you guys have a plan to do some other work than just to stick to VC. Since MS has make its own VC more like a Visual Assist inside. Clion is very similar to Visual Assist in many ways, but it's too complex. I think a simple editor with Visual Assist is good enough for many C C++ programmer. Like earlier years people configured editplus to a simple ide to write java. Maybe you guys can try to integrate Visual Assist with some open source editor such as notepad++ for the first step, hope its not too much work for you, then try linux, and even android. Finally, thanks for making life a lot easier for me. [/quote]   Check to include your profile signature. Check to subscribe to this topic.
