I like editing my files by throat singing the binary straight through the microphone. Anyone else?
yeah I can work from literally anywhere
Indeed, the energy provided by the ancestral mongolian steppes guides me during the input of every single instruction.
Amazing comment, thanks for the laugh
Man... you old-fashioned! 👨💻 I use a brain wave interpreter, you think it and it appears on the screen! See also here : czcams.com/video/s6c3R3UBeLw/video.html
lmaoo good one
"If you like me, then you may have just started out writing code with whatever text editor or IDE your teacher used."
My teacher: Notepad
My teacher used in-browser editor (website) to teach us fricking python. Like who teaches python, on the first day, in a BROWSER
@@suctac my university has a in browser mini IDE with the ace browser based text editor as its base
@@suctac nope its actually a really good decision, s/he doesnt want to waste students and her time, trying to get everyone to install python3, some ide from some website, especially since its the first day for students, let them get comfortable.
@@suctac python its actually good to be the first programming language
Python shouldn't be the first programing language for anybody, but it should be the first utility language you should learn together with your first programing language.

Bill gates: The best text editor for programming is “notepad”
how
@@sasmitvaidya3594 thank you
@@sasmitvaidya3594 but wait a minute I think that notepad is in windows and windows is of microsoft and microsoft is created by bill and paul
I believe it still is if you want to learn any language from scratch. I still use it for quick fixes till this date.
@@aaryanbhurtel wow thats true
The two text editor thing is pretty spot on and I never really thought about it until now, Atom + Gedit are my go to. I tried out VS Code a couple of years but I think my laptop is too potato to run a text editor that's that heavy while also running all my other web dev stuff.
A great shortcut to remembering many keybindings is to understand the Vim "language" of action-movement-object, basically a "verb-preposition-object" structure or, in easier words, "do what to which bite of text".
Easy "verbs" to remember are yank (y), put (p), change (c), delete(d)
Easy motions to remember are around (a), inner/inside (i) , surrounding (with the plugin vim-surround, letter s), to (t/T), find (f/F), visual (v).
Easy objects to remember are word (w/W), sentence (s), paragraph (p), plus a bunch of code objects.
Most of these are mnemonic - the key fits with the words. Now you just need to put them together into "sentences"
diw = Delete Inside Word (but not surrounding spaces)
yis = yank (copy) inner sentence
ci) = change inside parantheses
d3w = delete next three words
v3fe = highlight (visual) to and including the 3rd occurence of 'e' forward
v2Tk = highlight to, but not including, the 2nd occurrence of 'k', going backwards
It's like talking to your editor - each key sequence is a sentence.

This was very helpful. Thank you so much. I am also just getting started out in coding and a BS degree in CyberSecurity, and this stuff can seem simple but is very overwhelming. Once again, thank you. I love your channel. Great content.
It's maybe a matter of preferences but nothing is like VS Code
Right
Yeah vscode "just works".
Free and open source. With tons of awesome plugins.
@@prshendra vscode is not fully open source it's build on open source. Codium is open source version of vscode.
@@prshendra Yup👍
Agree
Cool video, also, totally awesome that your starting to get more sponsors! The hard work is really paying off, keep it up!
hey, i respect you, you are the youtuber who isn't just a youtuber, your work is qualitative, you don't just make videos, it is clear that this is your passion and tbh, when i watch your videos i get more attracted to coding and i feel very cool with that. Good job!
My editors/IDE - >
For python - Pycharm
For Web development- VS code
For android app development- Android Studio
web development webstorm lol
Those are not editors though, only VS Code
Why does most tutorials use sublime text for python?
pycharm is nutty imo, i switched over from vs code
LegiT I switched too. It’s made a massive difference for my work, especially for managing big projects and debugging
I use Atom, mainly because I like the interface and the fact I can open a second pane to the right if I'm comparing or shamelessly plagiarising code. The fact I can select what language I'm working in and it gives me pointers and autofill on variables / functions in that language is a huge time saver.
I used this for the same reason, then discovered that VS code had a lot of the same capabilities, plus a lot of really good plugin's that atom didn't offer (at least at the time of me switching over), and I never turned back. The perks I really liked over atom were mainly the Docker/Kubernetes/Jupyter Notebook plugin's, so it wouldn't be a reason for everyone, but I ended up liking VS Code all around much more than Atom (I also kept running into stability issues with atom, so that played a factor).
Same reasons man🙂 Espesially i love how its live previeve works. Its really helful when im coding css
Don't choose by that, they all do it.
Other editors are for sure capable of doing editing, but VS Code is like a universe with infinite possibilities.
And Vim isn't? With documentation longer than all of the Lord of the Rings trilogy just for the base program, and great plugin extensibility.
VSCode? Lmao
try Emacs
@@MasterHigure vim is great, it's just so unappealing given the first video some people saw on it (including me) was a tutorial on how to exit the damn thing
@@developer2 It has learning curve like hell, I'll give you that. But now I find myself typing :w in other programs when I want to save.
Then you can upgrade again to Jet brains
Jeez the quantity to quality ratio if nuts! Keep up the good work man!
I wait for your videos! ❤️So glad I found you in this pandemic!
Been using VS Code as my main Programming text editor and sublime as my the default text editor.
Sometimes the smoothness and how fast sublime is really made a difference when you just want to look at that code without editing it. I love them both😍😅
TextPad is a great editor for Windows. It's old but it can handle very large files (unlike almost all other editors) and it opens really very quickly. And TextPad also has a very nice macro recorder. It's been my favorite as a second editor for many years. My first editor is VS Code 😏 But I actually use both editors on a daily basis.
Kate in Manjaro and KDE distros is unparalleled, just uncharted by many developers
SO underrated, especially in this era of memory-guzzling Electron editors like VSCode and Atom
It's awesome. I think the only drawback is that my OS really hates me when I try to sudo kate
Good point about two editors. I also use two editors, however VSCode is my secondary text editor.
I use Intellij products as my primary choice of IDE and use VSCode if I need to quickly change something.
VSCode is very fast for me and I love it for quick editing or doing some small projects,
But for bigger projects I prefer IntelliJ IDEs.
Unrelated, but can we get a sneak peek into your haircare routine lol
lmfao
XD
wtf
He didnt replied
😂
I really love your intro as well your content straight to the point....
I'm really loving all of your videos. Also you're intro is soooooo good
Generally I can't understand English speaking but you're speakşng wery well and I could understand easily without subtitles.Thank you!
If you want simpler version of vim that's very intuitive then I recommend micro text editor. Hope you will like it :). I used it for the past 3 weeks and I love it (even for big projects especially with extensions)
Here is something that most coders don't seem to consider: Beauty. Of course, that's very subjective, but to me, Sublime Text just looks best. I love how the UI looks and feels. I love the Monokai color scheme. (I'm aware you could probably get that one on other editors as well) And it's capable of all I need. I'm fine as long as I have multicursors and configurable keyboard shortcuts. And loads of Plugins to choose from.
vim is based around "modes" which lets you use the keyboard to its fullest. For example, you can navigate by word, paragraph, blocks ... Vim also has macros to record and reapply any sequence of keys. VSCode sorely needs macros. Vim is very productive once learned. I use vim when I'm not writing Typescript. For TS, VSCode works well.
Kalle been uploading so much but I am enjoying the content honestly
I use VS code as the main editor. sublime to work with large files, it is easy to format data on large files. vim whenever I want to make any small changes in single files. This works great for me.
Hey Kalle! I got the live bootable Linux working! Thanks!
I love how entertaining u make your videos :)
tack kalle! vilka bra videos du gör! har precis börjat att koda, helt ny :D /Emma
As a total vim head, after taking all points into considerations, I believe a new programmer should have vim as a quick fix text editor and vs code as a primary code editor. To make the learning curve a little flat for vim, and then slowly switch from VS to vim. After doing the same thing for over 6 months, I swear I can't move back to any other code editor anymore, The on;y reason why I even consider going back to VS is to handle conflicts in GIT. because I am still learning the ropes of git handling in vim.
I hope you have met fugitive.
Maybe they can use a vim extension for vscode
Personally a Sublime Text guy. I just like the simplicity of the interface and how it doesn't come with any plugins out of the box so that I can install and have what I need and nothing more. I also use neovim for my single line code changes when I'm in the command line (which is pretty often)
Edit: As of late I've been using a combination of the two (Sublime / Neovim) using a plugin that runs a Neovim instance in the background for perfect vim "emulation" (not actually emulation since it's actually Neovim). This way I can enjoy the plugins and graphical interface of Sublime, and the fast/efficient text editing of vim. If I have a really big project then I've been using more sophisticated IDEs like PyCharm or IntelliJ
Is Sublime Text free?
@@vyllowtm5920 Technically no, but the free evaluation is fully functional and has no time limit. You will just get popups very occasionally asking you if you would like to buy it. If you don't want to buy it you can just click past it and continue as if it never happened. I never found it annoying in the 5 years since I started using it and only bought the license recently because I genuinely like the program and wanted to support the devs.
@VyllowTM As in free beer? Yes. As in free speech? No.
@@marcs9451 Yeah pretty much. If you are looking for an open-source, free as in freedom kind of editor, then sublime text is not for you. It does not cost money to evaluate, but it is not open source or anything.
Also a Sublime Text man. It's free insofar as I haven't paid my $80 yet but had no shut-off in 2 years.
It's faster and less likely to jam during intensive use unlike VSC. Lots of plugins for theming, file icons, code coloring, window paning, code completion, help file navigation, SASS/SCSS compilation, markdown file viewing, etc.
Sublime Text integrates well with its sister application, Sublime Merge, which handles Git versioning of project files on an agreeable GUI. Also free.
Excellent Video and approach. Very good suggestions!
Cheers
Agreed!
I use the VS Code mainly but sometimes Sublime Text for a quick fix.
Atom was actually pretty decent when I played around in it. Very similar to VS Code.
This was a really honest review. VS Code is my go to code editor. And vim for my quick editor. I also edit a lot of file over the ssh and vim is perfect for that.
I use nano as my quick switch / fix editor.
Just open up terminal type
nano
and boom opened
I love to watch this! Programming is a skill that I will never call my own :D But I really love to watch your videos. The style, the voice and everything seems to be perfect.
Why do you say that?
@@DaPanda19 I like those videos. Why should I keep silent about that?
Vim for life ❤ once u get the hang of it, u wont use any other text editor... 🔥❤
Or at least editors with vim modes becomes a requirement ^^
@@nlight8769 not the same feeling
ever used JOE??
This video just came out at the right time...coz I was doing a pretty hectic research on what to use and why to use but this video ended all that hassle and now I know what to do.
Thanks for the video...it helped a lot!
So what did you decide on?
@@scunich I decided to use VScode along with sublime.....also I think I might try to learn vim in future to replace sublime coz editing in vim is much much faster, But I haven’t found any good tutorial for vim so I’m resistant to switching now but as soon as I find one I will shift....also plz link any good vim tutorials you know
One thing you have to consider when using a text editor is use-case. If you do anything remotely in a Linux environment then learning VIM is a must. How you set up your personal environment to code is something that will change as new tools come out and you just want to try them out. Atom and VS Code are great and I’ve tried them both and regularly use both but it depends on what I’m doing. Web Development in PHP I use atom, desktop application development I use visual studios, quick editing I use VIM. Your environment will change depending on the case. Learn the different tools out there and use the one your comfortable with and the best one for the job.
Love daily upload I don't want it to stop
sublime hits me with nostalgia
I liked to used VS Code for main project where Notepad++ for small or quick changes since right clicking on the file gives option to "Edit with Notepad++" 😁
VS Code also has that.
The editing of this video is superb. Same with photography. Congrats.
On the content's side, I suggest diving deeper next time. Include some unusual options, for example, or obscure ones. Emacs, even if not popular, is a traditional option to considerer.
vscode takes about 800MB, so if memory is an issue, you can also try slick-edit, which comes in between vscode and sublime-text.
I've been using Neo(vim) for the past 2 years, coming from VSCode, once you setup your plugins, key-bidings your good to go, I've worked on big projects without any issues or loading time, and the good thing is that have the same configuration locally and on the server, so I hace the same flow.
+1 Neovim is great, especially with stuff like LSP it becomes quite close to an IDE
@@benlennart4481 I use it with CoC and another couple of plugins and is great.
Honestly I find Sublime text most usable. It is *very* ligtweight (unlike electron stuff) and has a lots of features that I find useful. VS Code leans more to IDE while Sublime is mostly an editor.
Relative programing noob here. VSCode and Kate 4 lyf. I love Kate text editor so much it's silly, but there's nothing quite like it.
As a Java developer who adores Intellij Idea, I have admit that Vs code is a really nice environment to use. I'm actually thinking about migrating to vscode
I am in love with Sublime Text
Y'all missing out on (doom) Emacs :^(
Yes, using it in my last year of uni. Great and powerful.
Yep like vim and better
Yep, vim for quick edits and doom emacs for projects
I've gone through a lot of client editors through the last 20 years (currently I prefer VS Code for web and python). Emacs has been a constant for me through that 20 years when it comes to direct edits on the server or quick edits on the command line. I would never choose it as my main IDE but investing some time in emacs or vim (although I always prefered emacs because I think the key shortcuts are much more efficient) will pay back over the years easily.
The only problem with Doom is it's slow as VS Code. Writing your own .emacs or init.el file is better imo
I switched from VSC to nvim to finally Sublime and couldnt be happier. Been on Sublime for 4+ months and I dont think it misses anything that VSC provides. I can have 8ish tabs opened during debugging and side-by-side mode with 4+ columns is all you could ever need.
You're a teacher who teaches me how to teach myself 👍👍
Meh, gonna stick with the Jetbrains suite, the code analysis and how the IDEs understand my code out of the box is beyond everything else.
Give VS code or Sublime a chance. They’re so much lighter than any IDE and you don’t really need to set up an environment every time you want to write some code. It’s overkill using IDEs for a lot of stuff.
@Anon Ah, of course, here they come.
@Anon no
What language are you using Jetbrains for?
@Anon I use all three of them
I spent about 3-4 months learning firstly touch typing, then vim, then emacs. There were times when I wanted to give up and just use vscode, but now I cannot imagine my life without emacs. The key features of emacs: it is extremely lightweight, so opening a large project takes a fraction of a second. And it is easy to open multiple instances of emacs. It has incredible keys mechanics invented by spacemacs devs, I mean things like SPC d f pressed in sequence, which stands for "describe function". This is at least the case in my setup. And what's great - you can assign and memorize significantly more key bindings, than in conventional editor. Another great thing - you can launch emacs in terminal. There probably are unique features in vscode that emacs can't do, or does badly, but my heart belongs to emacs.
Bro, your comment is really motivates me i am beginner and i am learning touch typing since a month ago but still doning many mistake... Sometime it seems like i can never learn touch typing 😭
Can you suggest me some best platform for learning touch typing
@@NIKHIL-yl1ws have u learned it yet?
@@user-td2dq3nn2r he died trying
Editors can also be about transforming data. Vim + Linux allows you to do certain transformations quickly.
Nothing like sticking vim on the end of a command line pipeline!
love ur daily posts btw
Have been loving Vim for the past 10 years, but Atom with vim-mode-plus and ex-mode recently with caught my attention. With centralized package installation, it's brilliant.
Though, my projects are relatively modest, so... just perfect for me ^^
VS Code always on top! Sucks that it doesn't have support for Swift tho
Its because microsoft pushes it on everybody. Not because it is the best
Great quality of video as usual 👌.
I have tried a few different IDE's and there's some good ones, but VS Code seems to be the best for me. VIM I'm sure is hardcore and you do have that advantage of staying in the terminal and using loads of keyboard shortcuts, but really at the end of the day, its all down to personal preference. I don't want to spend the time required to get my head around VIM, when I have a perfectly good IDE sitting there that has loads of helpful features right out of the box, as they say. Good luck to VIMmers, I'm sure you feel pretty special. I'm gonna work with what does the job best. And for me, thats VS Code. Let the insults begin.
I am absolutely in love with Atom.
Been a fan of atom for along time still using sublime tho
East or west visual studio is best.
Haha nice
Visual studio code *
Code...
Except for java
Couldn't agree more
I also naturally picked up vscode for longer projects and sublime text for shorter ones !
It took me a full year to get around configuring vim to work like VS Code. But now having done that I have never looked back and even given a thought about using any other text editor. It's fast, looks cool and there are some great plugins that make life so much easier. Also i don't have to touch the mouse.
Have you a YT video + configurations on all this ?
for me, for python coding there is nothing even close to atom. So simple, bautiful and powerful.
Also for C++ I used to code in codelite, but when you start to do something more serious you start to use more complex stuff. At work I was told to use Qt creator as a redactor for C++. I hated it at the begining, but now I don't know how I lived without it
the fact is that you will like the editor you use to code in, while you are not forced to move to another
the more text editors you use, the less chance you have of ever having a tutorial u cant follow
i feel that
But if you download every text editor your computer's drives won't let you code
@@aradhaymathur get yourself a 1Tb ssd bro
@@Ryan-xq3kl Still there won't be enough space for them as there are a billions of editors and ide and some are platfir specific so you need a emulater which will also take space. So basically its imposible unless you use a supercomputer.
@LowLinK I code in terminal
ur tips are extremely valuable, keep up the good work. from Aruba
You hit it right there...
here is my choice:
- If there is a good dedicated IDE for a project, I will use the IDE (f.e. using WebStorm for web-front-end projects)
- If that is a proper project and all, but there is no good IDE to choose, it probably will be VSCode
- If its simple editing files, like python scripts, single C++ files or json files, I gonna use Sublime (again, just because of the speed xD)
- And now I start to learn vim, because thats like the most powerful tool i can use in a console xD so like if I'm in a ssh session with my linux server
You might install vim extension for vscode :) Best of both worlds.
I'm using the extension on Atom.

Hey @Kalle - Great job on the videos man, I really like your content. I've noticed that in several of your videos, I've seen you use multiple devices (Dell XPS, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Desktop, etc.). I had a few interesting video ideas that I'm sure some of us would be interested in:
A. How you do work across multiple devices.
B. What devices YOU have and use on a daily / weekly basis.
C. If you had to use only 1 device (maybe 2) which laptops would you choose and why.
D. What you prefer - Linux, WIndows, or MacOS.
Anyway, just some minor suggestions. Please keep up the quality content! =)
> _A. How you do work across multiple devices._
plus one for this one
Kalle you missed nano. 😂😂😂 well i use it as secondary editor
I learned vim to prevent RSI in my shoulder. Now I have RSI in my fingers. lol
@FichDich InDemArsch can't help it. My mechanical keyboard has an actuation force of 500N
I agree w/ your 2 editor suggestion. For me, it's VSCode and Geany. I still need a 3rd editor for terminal box use and am evulating Nice Editor and Tilde.
Vim has a GUI with a full menu and icons, and with Windows-like key bindings. In Windows it even creates a link (or batch file) with all the familiar Windowsy switches called EasyVim

It’s open source.
First release of vim was in 1991, in 1992 it was ported to Unix.
I use VS Code and Notepad++ too!
Me too 🙂
@Solve Everything and less hate therein
@Solve Everything Out of the box it doesn't seem so, but notepad++ is able to be customized... You can select a builtin them or create your own, you can select from a large list of common languages for syntax highlighting and formatting or you can create your own language syntax highlighting, you can get pre-made addons and extensions or even make your own. It's a very lite weight but powerful text editor within the GUI types of editors... It's great for quickly typing your file, but it's not an IDE as you can't compile, link or debug with it and as far as I know it doesn't have a terminal. It's just great in that it's a text editor that helps with syntax formatting and highlighting.
Quality content and editing .Keep it up
I use Code - OSS (Visual Studio Code without the proprietary Microsoft junk) for big projects and web development (live server + auto-reload) and vim for almost everything else (scripts, small programs, manipulating text files). I sometimes also use Kate to just view a text file while navigating through the GUI, otherwise cat is enough
If I did my maths right the total in 01:15 is 143.3...
Maybe in the survey someone chose 2 of the code editors they were using?
Vim has unseen potential. It blows every other editor out of the water!
Agreed, and if you're willing to invest time, you can make vim as adept as modern IDEs

Great advice and let start coding for a first-time learner coding.
I like to watch text editors comparison videos like this, even though I mainly use Jupyter notebooks most of the time.
I have programmed since the early 80s. Used all kinds of text editors including vi. IDK why anyone would not use and IDE today. vim is great as a text editor, but its not and IDE!
I am a student, got into coding young but not that much experience,
I started coding in an IDE and them somehow moved to building my projects using my own .bat files.
I don't know why, it feels more intimate and under my control.
I felt vs code being harder due all the json and stuff😂It required a lot of configurations to be set...so I did not mess with it😂
This video is perfect! I hopped on here to find an alternate to VS Code because I'm working on a large project and VS Code has become really slow.
