Edit: Editor integration

Factor provides support for interacting with your text editor of choice (assuming a suitable edit hook has been written.) Hooks have been written for jEdit, VIM, Emacs, Scite and a number of others. See the source code in %basis/editors% for more details. = Editing Source = You can enable editor support in the Factor workspace by using the appropriate editor hook. For example, to add support for the VIM, you could source the following (or add it to your %.factor-rc% file): [{USING: namespaces editors.gvim ; "/opt/local/bin/gvim" \ gvim-path set-global}] You must use %namespace% to get access to the %set-global% word. %editors.gvim% contains the gvim-specific hooks for editing. Note that the %gvim-path% word is escaped, so that we change its *value*, rather than the name it holds. If you restart Factor with this %\~/.factor-rc% file (%factor-rc% on windows), executing the following statements will cause gvim to open the file containing the word definition: [{USE: demos \ demos edit}] Other examples can be found in the on line documentation under the %edit ( defspec -- )% definition. = Setup for Other Editors = [[Emacs Integration]] = Jump to error location = If a syntax error was thrown while loading a source file, you can jump to the location of the error in your editor using the %:edit% word. = VIM Mode = The factor source tree, in misc/vim, has syntax highlighting and file type detection and so on.
