Y'all writing software with a write-compile-run development loop, how do you do it better than:

Ctrl-S to save
Alt-Tab to terminal
make↵
./bin/something↵
(play with program)
(close program)
Alt-Tab back to editor

Is there some kind of vim, emacs, helix, etc. workflow that reduces the number of steps for all that? What am I looking for?

I really wish I could switch to #Zed and start recommending it to my students…but whenever I try it after a new version is released, I am disappointed. 😕

It’s come a really long way, but there just are way too many paper cuts for it to be used productively… Things like indentation settings being unintuitive or just ignored, tags not auto closing, Emmet sometimes just not working…

I’ve been looking for a good editor for Mac for a while -- one that feels native (Mac-assed) and modern. I do most of my coding in Xcode and I'm happy with it for iOS development. But there are text files and Markdown files and YAML files and other files to edit, and Xcode feels too heavy most of the time. So, Mastodon friends, what do you recommend?

Just noticed a cute feature of the macOS Terminal (the default terminal app): PageUp/Down by default scroll the view so are not sent as ANSI codes to the subprocess; but if (ANSI) alternate view is active, then PageUp/Down _are_ sent as ANSI codes and do not scroll the view.

Upshot: PageUp works to preview command history in the shell _and_ scrolls the document in vi.
