Yes I am aware that the docs exist. Thank you.

I am familiar with Codium. However I think my brain just wants a total shift away from that environment completely, ya know?

Thanks for the response, you’re right that raylib autocomplete just works, so no issues there.

Both Kdevelop and Kate actually worked pretty well but I think I am going to end up using Geany for everything lol. I got autocomplete and call tips working with tags and since I’m already familiar with it, it feels comfy.

Not to mention it’s extremely lightweight. I’m leaving Kate setup on my machine as well for cases where I need those more robust options though. So thank you!

Good to know thanks!

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

I know what an LSP does but I don’t really know how it works so I wasn’t sure if an external library like Raylib would work the same way auto complete and all that would work for a language like C.

Truthfully I only understand this stuff at a very basic level, ya know? I read a bit on LSPs and was kind of getting more confusion than answers lol.

Thanks again!

Oh definitely, if Kate doesn’t work or is too much of a pain I’ll probably just use Kdevelop instead. It’s just Kate with extras right? I ask about Kate because I like to use lighter programs as much as possible. My computer isn’t a total powerhouse or anything lol.

Raylib is a library for making games. Just a framework.

The reason I ask is because I know what an LSP does but I don’t know how it does it, ya know? I’m not really familiar with how autocomplete and parameter hints work, so would it work the same way a language like C’s autocomplete and parameter hints work or does it just work the same way.

Does that make sense? I tried looking for some answers and was just a bit confused, so I asked here instead.

Oh it’s not all I want to do. I’m also a hobbyist dev and work on GIS projects, etc etc.

Question about Kate (programming.dev)

Really hating all the crap being put into VS code and want a switch.

Im mostly working in C and some Python/Lua and just want to know if I can get parameter hints the same way I do in VS code. It’s a bummer to have to peek at the docs every time I forget what parameters something takes.

I like lightweight programs so Kate is my first thought but if it does t I’ll just go to Kdevelop. Currently using Geany for my really small projects or tests.

Bonus question, if I’m using raylib for game dev, how would those hints work (if at all) in Kate? If Kate is using an LSP for autocompletion, how would that work for a library like Raylib? Sorry I’ve never actually considered this all before now!

Thanks all

Yeah, I don’t expect to play a lot of things but 99% of the time I’m playing some 2D indie game. Everyone once in a blue moon I like to replay the TES series

Is the Lemur better or Framework 13 a better fit for gaming?

I’m not triple a gaming, but playing up to like, Skyrim would be nice.

EDIT: Thanks for the replies everyone! I read them all and upvoted you all because they were truly helpful.

Looks like FW is the clear winner! I also use GIS software for work stuff/self teaching and so graphics capabilities are pretty important for me.

Thanks again everyone, y’all are the best!

Geany is a stupidly underrated piece of software imo. I use it for pretty much everything other than my largest of projects. Even then I consider it lol

Is Zen still a safe bet? I’m using it currently and quite like it actually so I’m hoping it’s still a good option. I just frankly am pretty ignorant of all this browser shenanigans.

[-] SeeFerns@programming.dev 3 points 2 weeks ago

Been using zen for a few days with ublock, no issues so far but I might go back to librewolf soon even though it feels less modern. It just feels safer, idk tbh
