This is a very frequently asked question and there are many options
available. Your best bet is probably to search the archives for the
last big thread.

Why would you want a separate editor program in the first place? Do
you know any example of such an editor suitable exclusively for some
other programming language? Can you estimate how much time/effort
would it take to develop a working editor for every new programming
language? :wink:

I use GNU Emacs with ruby-mode and I’m pretty happy with it. Please
no holy wars…

KATE is a very good editor and very easy to use/learn – I’m clueless to
any
Gnome equivalent.

I am very happy with Komodo 4.2.

It helps me work with Ruby and Ruby on rails easily.

One of the best IDE i have experienced.

Hope this helps

:set other.rb

Whoops. That should be:

:split other.rb

and paste what I copied into other.rb.

Then I type:

:w
:q

to save the text to other.rb, which closes other.rb and lets me continue
editing ruby1.rb.

What I want to be able to do is
while editing ruby1.rb, open other.rb, mark and copy some lines from
other.rb, and then paste the lines into ruby1.rb.

Thanks for any help.

Doesn’t this only differ in which window has focus while you’re marking
and pasting? Unless I’m missing something, you:

  1. gvim ruby1.rb
  2. :split other.rb
  3. mark the region in other.rb
  4. y
  5. C-w l to switch back to ruby1.rb
  6. p :w

Which is exactly what you just described, with other.rb and ruby1.rb
switched in steps 3 and 5. Did I miss something?

Ok, you sound like you might know vim pretty well. Is there a way to
copy text from another file into the file you are editing? I can send
text from the file I am editing to another file, but I want to do the
reverse.

Arrgh. I was using ‘yy’ instead of ‘y’. Thanks.
