This has been discussed before, but not recently.... Has there been any progess in making uv3 not open all its windows when using the -b command line option? It is rather annoying when all you want to do is compile from within emacs and it insists on waisting all that time opening 10s if windows for no reason at all....
Is the problem not just that you guys are used to other editors and are too old to learn new tricks? Sure, partially it is. But its also hard to forget tricks which are no longer tricks but are everyday parts of life, but don't work with this IDE. There are lots of little things it does badly. eg just one example.... When you build it puts the output from the compiler into a window. But it always shows the last output lines by default. This is not what im interested in, i want to see the first bit of output since there is the first error and what i need to fix. What comes after that is less important, its often a cascade of errors caused by the first error. OK you then press F4 to goto the first error. Thats OK. But when the compiler has produced N errors for one line of code i have to press F4 N times in order to move onto the next line with an error Why? I can see from the compiler output there was multiple errors so i don't need to be taken to the same line N times. I want to goto the next line with an error. OK, you fix the error which involves inserting a few lines of code. Pressing F4 takes you to the old line number, not the new line number becasue of the inserted lines... These are all things that a more mature editor would do better. The editor i use, emacs, is over 20 years old and does all these little things how i like. There are many more little things that the IDE does not so well. And i get no choice. I have to do horrible tricks like we are dicussing here in order to use a better editor. As i said before, we are getting away from the subject and more into philisophy and editor wars.....
"As i said before, we are getting away from the subject and more into philisophy and editor wars....." Don't worry, I'm not after an editor war, and I have little doubt that your editor is better in many ways than the IDE. I was just trying to defend what I find to be an excellent tool. I also admit to trolling a bit with the 'too old to learn new tricks' part. I unfortunately fit quite well into that category...
