I use Notepad.  Nothing else.  I have tried Vlide, but didn't like it so I went back to Notepad.

I use "Crimson Editor." Pretty sure I heard about it from someone here. Sorry I've had it for quite some time, probably google it for link.

I use it on occasions.  It was my primary editor for about 4 years (since I started writing lisp)  I have been using Notepad++  lately (I have been having trouble getting a new key for lisplink.  Mike (the developer/ owner) said that he has been having problems with his ISP  :pissed:.  I loved lisplink for dialog creation. and lisp loading.

I use the vlide, and I actually like it pretty well.  Can you set breakpoints and/or single step through an AutoLISP program with any of the other IDE's?

I gave Mike a hard time about that a while back. But he has since switched to a new ISP.
He probably needed a break from me asking when it was going to be compatible with 2007. :-o


I think I would have gotten into vlide more if it was available as a standalone app. I do setup up large projects in vlide for compiling to .vlx files

Just curious what editors people use for lisp.

Looks pretty good, is just a text editor?

I use Vim for editing and the VLide for debugging.

It’s specifically for Autolisp / Visual Lisp, it does the syntax highlighting, parentheses matching, formatting. It will find your local variables for you. You can setup large projects and add your own function names to the syntax highlighter. It comes with an .ARX file that allows you to load your lisp files directly into Autocad and also generate .FAS files. Oh yea it has a DCL stuff too

Its worth a look if you’re a serious lisper

Just saw this thread.
I use lisplink to automatically create the list of localized variables for me.
Typically, I copy the function from the VLIDE, open lisplink and paste in code.
Then highlight function name, and pick the "/" button.
It gives a list of vars used, you select and hit OK.
It puts them in your param list after the function name (param1 param2...\ localvar1...<it puts stuff here>)
Then copy just that and paste back in vlide, close lisplink and do not save.

I have not seen anything else as slick and localizing variables is time consuming by hand and a pain using the VLIDE reporting.

James,
In VLIDE just Ctrl-Alt-C  then copy & paste.

I got turned on to Multi-Edit v9.10 and can't seem to let go. It has full support for other languages as well.

Yes, I do use Lisplink.
I like it for several reason
1) good color defination, now I define the color like the theme "EVENING" in GVIM.
2) seperate from autocad, and use "ctrl+A" to send the program to AUTOCAD
3) convenient to get the mail function or subrountine from the listbox, it is useful in a big code.
4) good DCL preview function

VLIDE has become second nature to me, it seems to give me everything I need so I've never really investigated other packages.

VLIDE in Autocad (95% of my coding is done in the IDE )
I test continuously as I go, and all my library stuff is already loaded ... pretty hard to beat.

UltraEdit when not in Acad
kdub, kdub_nz in other timelines.

VLIDE in Autocad = 95%
Pencil, pen, paper = 4%
%SystemRoot%\system32\notepad.exe = 1%

I hate vlide.

TextPad with Michael's vlisp.syn (syntax) file works for me.

Strong word there Joe. Did you have a bad experience with VLIDE to "hate" it.

I use VLIDE 80% & UltraEdit with syntax highlighting 19% and maybe 1% paper & pen.
Just guesstimates on the percentages of course.

I don't like VLIDE's handling of text selection & editing. I use Textpad w/syntax highlighting and have a few macros for indenting. I only use VLIDE for reformatting code & debugging when I'm stuck.

My sense of vlide is it was designed by a programmer, rather than someone experienced with interface issues. A poor interface always turns me off, regardless of what the program can do.

I agree with Dan regarding debugging. I'll use it for that (error trace) when I can't figure out where I've gone wrong via some other method.
