I'm currently using CodeMirror as a browser based code editor, but what really annoys me is its lack of real tabbing. It uses spaces instead of tabs, and I just cant get my code as clean as desktop editor.
Are there any better editors out there? It can be DOM based or Javascript or even browser specific, just as long as it gives me real tabs! :)
PS. I've had a look at Ace, which looks like it should do the job, but I cant seem to get real tabs to work - anyone tried it?
Cheers,
Chris.

I am using sublime text editor for last few months...Recently I have decided to create a video tutorial...but the message that sublime shows (it is unregistered) is annoying...So can anyone tell me an alternative that works exactly like sublime (something that can ease your life while working on some project)...
Depending on what kind of code you're working with, you can give Netbeans or Brackets a try too
I wonder how I open webpage in full screen mode in running sketch at Processing.
I am making a simple question/answer game but before solving question. I want users to register or login website first. And then when pressed a certain button on webpage it brings back to start to question.
I appreciate any suggestions.
The answer to this is going to depend on exactly what you're trying to do.
Are you trying to do this from Java mode? If so, google something like "java launch webpage".
Are you trying to do this from JavaScript mode, or with Processing.js or p5.js? If so, google something like "JavaScript fullscreen" and you'll find examples like this and this.
That will allow you to open a webapge in fullscreen mode. Then going back to your Processing sketch again depends on whether you're using Java or JavaScript.
If you're using Java, this is going to be pretty difficult, as you aren't going to be able to get events from the webpage to your Java code. You could try using an applet, but I wouldn't really recommend that since applets are pretty much dead anyway.
If you're using JavaScript, then it's a little easier. You can simply detect the button click in the webpage (by adding an onclick callback) and then call whatever functions you want to close the webpage and reactivate your Processing sketch.
It's hard to answer general "how do I do this" type questions. Stack Overflow is more designed for specific "I tried X, expected Y, but got Z instead" type questions. I really recommend that you just try something out and post an MCVE showing exactly where you're stuck. Good luck.
I have a javascript link (works like a plugin, but not plugin, it's just a javascipt link), the user can just drag and drop the link to it's bookmark bar.
Everything is working, but when the URL/location link is too long, it's very annoying that when the use mouses over the bookmark, it will also show the URL/Location link.
So is there a way not to display the URL/Location link when mousing over?
It would be better if we can display a customized description;
It would be better if it works for all major browsers;
It would be better if it's cross-platform;
Any reasonable suggestions or even hacks are also welcomed as long as it will improve the user experience.
Thanks.
So is there a way not to display the URL/Location link when mousing over?
Not without modifying the browser at a deep level. And if you are going to do that, you don't need to use a bookmarklet.
But you can add a comment to the code to explain it.
Example:
javascript:/*--A-very-short-description--*/document.location=...
I choose to use - instead of spaces because spaces are encoded to %20, which is much worse that - for reading.
This won't hide the code, but it does make the bookmarklet slightly more friendly.
Using this, there is a slight trick that in Firefox and maybe other browsers that sort of "hides" the code. Firefox shows only the beginning and ends of the code, not all of it. So if you code begins and ends with a comment, you can effectively hide the code.
Approximate example:
javascript:/*------------------------*/document.location=.../*------------------------*/
In Firefox this will look something like "javascript:/------------...--------------/"
You can experiment with the details to get the desired result.
At work, I have to jump into old mysql_query procedural website build higgledy-piggledy (some var are camelCased AND underscored, no indent code, page are build in table ...)
Anyway, usually I m using ST2, but here I can't. So to search my line code, I use dreamweaver to click on the screen preview and the cursor drop on the code line I want.
I do not like and I don't know dreamweaver. But as code is UNREADABLE, that is the only way I have to work.(My boss doesn't want rebuild theses sites).
Here is my question, does anybody know for ST2 a way (or a plugin) to split screen and click on screen preview to go right to the code line just like dreamweaver preview does ?
Regards.
Answer is simple, you will never find something like that.
Try here - http://webdesign.about.com/od/windowshtmleditors/tp/windows-wysiwyg-editors.htm
WYSWIG html editors.
Try Sublime CodeIntel, as well says this page:
...This plugin brings a little of IDE functionality into ST2. This plugin reads all your code and is able to code-complete, jump into
definitions and function call tooltips. Although sometimes looks a
little buggy, it’s still worth having it around. It’s a huge time
saver, especially when you are dealing with other’s people code.
If is suitable for that project you can remove the package later.
Is it possible to do Code Syntax highlighting on sites.google.com websites like the way we do it on Blogger.com or Wordpress.com?
Unfortunately there is until now no support for syntax highlighting within Google Sites. As a workaround you could use http://tohtml.com/ and enter your code there and copy the colored output (not the HTML) directly into your Google Sites page.
This works perfectly, as long as you don't need to edit large pieces of the code regularly.
I have tried creating a gadget myself with Google Code Prettify, and there were a few issues.
One is that classes aren't supported, so you will have to follow what Stack Overflow is doing to prettify.
http://www.codingthewheel.com/archives/syntax-highlighting-stackoverflow-google-prettify
The other problem I faced was the interaction between the iframe and the parent frame. You will notice that there is a domain permission problem, and so you will be unable to access the parent.document from your iframe.
This should save some people a few hours of hacky testing.
Yes, you can!
Just select the desired text, and go to "Formatting" -> "Code" OR "Block Code"
You can insert gadgets into Google Sites pages. You could create a gadget that did syntax highlighting using any number of open source javascript syntax highlighters.
Not an ideal solution but would get you what you want. Lemme know if you want further pointers.
I've found an alternative way.
If you use IntelliJ, just copy the code from the IntelliJ editor and paste it into your Google site text (not in html mode).
Works out-of-the-box!
