LinuxAsmTools - Selecting Editor
AsmTools includes two editors but most
people will prefer another editor. If AsmMgr (file manager)
is being used, run setup to change the default editor. For
assembler development the ideal editor needs the following
features:
1. Single keystroke compile with automatic error display.
2. Ability to edit source while viewing compile errors
in separate window.
3. Search with replace option.
4. Dual window to pull code fragments from one window
to another.
5. Ability to enter ascii hex codes.
6. Line number display and jump to line command.
Most good editors can be configured for these features.
The AsmTools editor "AsmEdit" is optmized for assembler
and has these features.
The AsmIDE program includes a simple editor that provides
everything except for hex entry.
There are hundreds of editors available, and making a choice
can be difficult. Here are some of the more popular choices:
vim - popular and powerful editor. Many people find in difficult
to use.
Emacs - Popular and powerful, Some people dislike use of multi
shift control keys.
kate - graphical programmers editor.
gedit - gnome editor, many useful features
