I use klogg for browsing massive text files, it works pretty good for me
I use lnav for this, it works very well and the search and filtering etc are great.
Re: JetBrains - isnβt VS Code oss?
Even with plugins, VSCode is more IDE-lite and iirc the C# plugin is not OSS anymore. Also "not much" competition allows for some ;)
I see. Did not realise there is such a defined line.
I do find PyCharm easier than VSCode but never could put a finger on it.
He said full IDE. You ever used a full IDE?
Dude's getting downvoted but there's not much of an integrated development environment in a glorified text editor with plugins once you realize the competition really gives you all the tools you need to never ever really need to leave the environment.
Most of the competition is modular with plugins as well.
It's okay, most of these users are kids editing python scripts in vs code anyway.
VS code isnβt an IDE.
I tried installing this new "Files Community", kinda shady software even though opensource, and it didnt even install due to some libraries missing I guess...
UltraEdit is probably the oldest editor which was designed specifically for editing super large files. It has no limits, but it is also proprietary.
Slower, last I checked. Though that was a long time ago, probably 10 years.
Do you mind expanding a little on Directory Opus ? I always have four or five explorer windows open and I am constantly annoyed with the clunkiness of Windows explorer. I know there are a few alternatives but not sure how they compare.
Scriptable, dual explorer, dual tree, tabs for both explorers. Many built-in features like showing folder sizes, generally a lot of settings, itβs one of those tools that comes with a search function for its settings.
Just a lot of tiny things as well, like tabs can be locker to a folder (either allowing changes and resetting, or not allowing changes), and also linked (so clicking a certain tab in one explorer always opens up one in the other). I probably use only 5% of its capabilities :D
Thanks a lot for elaborating. I installed Free Commander in the meantime, see if it's enough for my use.
For me specifically, the killer feature was dual explorer with dual tree. At least at the time, no others supported that.
Yeah, I dont think there's a dual tree in Free Commander... It's just the one tree for both panes. But there's a favourite list and that should cover most of my needs. Let's see. Cheers !
You might just need Clover by EJIE Technology then, it is free. It adds tabs to Windows Explorer. Uncheck tickboxes upon installation.
Thanks I'll look this up
