baurel has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
hi I work mostly in vim. I'm not a very advanced vim user, though. So even vim gives me some headeache from time to time I still prefere it to the various editors and IDEs out there, because I like the command mode and because it's available and preinstalled on most platforms. Although I've tried different things I'm still *very* unsatisfied with the implementation of the following basic workflow: 1. Edit a perl script in the editor 2. Press one key (eg. F5) to save and run the script 3. Print the output to a window below the editor window 4. Possibility to easily switch to the output window and scroll through the messages 5. Possibility to easily switch back to the editor window Currently I work with a GNU screen/vim combo.
But there is always a lot of typing involved. For example to accomplish step 2. in the workflow above: - ESC, :w (to save the script in vim in term1) - CTRL-Z, tab (to switch to term2) - type "./myscript.pl" (to run the script in term2) This can't be it, I think it's far from ideal... How do you run your scripts with vim? Or is emacs better suited for this? thanks ben
