I am curious to know how hackable text editors like atom and IDEs like eclipse and netbeans run compilations of programming languages in its application and show outputs inside the application.
Do the text editors/IDEs invoke the compiler like we do inside a command line (without having to display the command line GUI) to compile the files and then pipe the output to its built-in command line?
How is it really done?
Thanks in advance.
edit: I would like to know the procedure that those IDEs and text editors take to perform compilations and display outputs to the built-in/plugin terminal. I'm not asking because I don't know how to compile the code I wrote in my IDE.
Atom editor have the appropriate plug-ins.
terminal - the launch of the terminal directly from the atom editor.
c++ compiler - compile and run c++ within atom editor.

With CLIPS, It's possible some of the following?? (V 6.4 for Windows)
1 - Use a command like (clear-window) in the CLIPSDOS console for clear the console.
2 - Use tabs for indentation in CLIPSIDE. When i press tab, cursor goes to File menu item... how to indent?
How do people learn programming with CLIPS? I'm using a plugin for Visual Studio that helps me with the parenthesis concordance, let me use tabs to indent, and other tricks. But it has some problems, and i'm quite worried about the usability of the CLIPSDOS and CLIPSIDE interfaces to this purpose.
Thanks in advance.
In CLIPSDOS, you can use the command (system cls) to clear the screen. This will simply call out to DOS to execute a cls command.
The IDEs use standard text editing classes for the CLIPS command prompt window. Tabs appear to work correctly on the macOS IDE, but not the Windows or Java Swing IDEs, so that will need to be corrected.
While you can directly enter constructs at the command prompt, it's better to edit them in a file with your preferred text editor and then use the load command from the command prompt to load the contents of that file. The IDE supports a command history so you can use the up/down arrow keys to cycle through prior commands to avoid retyping.
So I prefer VScode due to the added features and speed,but I have one problem.I prefer my output in a separate terminal like cmd.In atom the gpp compiler package does that for me.But in VScode,output is displayed in a in-built terminal below your code.I usually dont prefer that as it becomes difficult for me to see the output properly since I have a small screen.
So how can I do that in VSCode?
quiet some time, I used Notepad++ for coding my vbs-scripts. Now I'm switching to vscode, for improved syntax highlighting and IntelliSense- features.
Some time ago, I added some "header-file" I want to include to each of my scripts, because I use the same variables in each project and am too lazy to re-type the same text over again. Is there a way to make vscode IntelliSense to recognize the variables I defined in my header-file? If so, how? I would prefer not having build my own snippets, for I still expand my "header-file".
Thank you for your help,
kind regards,
Georg
The standard method is to modify the c_cpp_properties.json, VS code can do that for you if you prefer, just when you encounter the error (squiggily line under the #include <generic_header.>) as such: include error
Mouse over the error and a pop up will show as such: error popup
(Ignore the spanish bit)
Then just use the quick fix hotkey (Ctrl + .) and vscode will do it for you.
How do I enable the typical editing keyboard shortcuts for .scala files in Scala worksheets as well?
For e.g., I use Cmd-/ to comment code in my .scala files. However, this shortcut does not work in a Scala worksheet
If you got to Eclipse->Preferences->General->Editors->File Associations you will see that scala worksheets (.sc files) are mapped to a different editor than the scala files.
What you really need is for the editor to handle all the same shortcuts. (it does handle copy/paste and many other shortcuts) It's possible you could add another editor in the chain above the scala scripting engine.
Updated: Change the mapping for the .sc extension so that from top to bottom it reads 1. Java Editor 2. Text Editor 3. Scala Script Editor. I can confirm that works.
I've been writing a lot of code in Matlab 2012a recently, and I'm wondering if there's some way to show whitespace characters (tabs, spaces, etc.) like in Notepad++ or Sublime Text.
I've been Googling around and did a search on SO, but the internet seems oddly quiet.
Thanks!
Although I don't think you can do this in the MATLAB editor, you can choose to use a different editor as your default. Under Preferences go to Editor/Debugger, and select "Text Editor" rather than "MATLAB Editor" (you need to supply the full path).
If this is set, then .m files etc. opened from within MATLAB should open in your preferred editor, not the MATLAB editor.
