I need this but for C++, I kinda miss the old borland turbo C++ ide. mostly what I care about is terminal access and code navigation but other than some vim + plugins monstrosity I cant find any.


Same. Thousands text editors, but not a single IDE.

And they all get SO close, just give a look to SetEdit screenshots: https://setedit.sourceforge.net/

I don't know if it can be of any help for you, but at the moment on the terminal I mostly use:

- Tilde: https://github.com/gphalkes/tilde

- Textadept: https://github.com/orbitalquark/textadept

Or "Geany IDE" on desktop environment (while waiting for lapce.dev to get better), I tend to stay away as much as possible from VS Codium, but everyone else seems to love it and already forgot about Atom, few seems to realise how Microsoft really is.

Maybe the plot twist is that you have to accept in your heart that "writing text on anything, is the real IDE", and transcend to writing on nano!


A rich text-based UI feels like it has all the downsides of a GUI while substantially lacking the upsides.

For example, Tilde. It seems nice and maybe it has nice features, but what about these features is so highly dependent on being accessible through a "menu"? Do you reach for the "menu" all the time? Or are there fancy "dialogs"?

This feels like Vim, but with some strange plugin that provides a "menu". I'd think why not just jump ahead and ditch the quasi-GUI and just learn some shortcuts?

Honestly not trying to be difficult here. I want to understand the mindset, because you are definitely not alone.


There’s Motor, but I don’t know if the project is still being maintained.
