Geany Install geany

[Geany] is a text editor using the GTK2 toolkit with basic features of an integrated development environment. It was developed to provide a small and fast IDE, which has only a few dependencies from other packages. It supports many filetypes and has some nice features. My favorite so far.

    Does it have syntax checking? Code auto-completion? Why has it been accepted as best answer? This is a community wiki, it doesn't make sense to put Geany as the best editor just because the author thought so. It's just an (his) opinion. – Alba Mendez Aug 19 '12 at 17:31

    Besides, the community voted Netbeans more than Geany. – Alba Mendez Aug 19 '12 at 17:33

Eclipse Install Eclipse

Personally, I use Eclipse for Java, C and Python.

Quoting from Wikipedia:

It is written mostly in Java and can be used to develop applications in Java and, by means of various plug-ins, other programming languages including Ada, C, C++, COBOL, Perl, PHP, Python, R. Ruby (including Ruby on Rails framework), Scala, Clojure, and Scheme. It can also be used to develop packages for the software Mathematica. The IDE is often called Eclipse ADT (Ada Development Toolkit) for Ada, Eclipse CDT for C/C++, Eclipse JDT for Java, and Eclipse PDT for PHP.

    Eclipse is recommended and supported for Android development. – bgvaughan Jun 12 '11 at 12:10
  • I use Eclipse for Java/Swing development. I use it for Ruby on Rails and Wordpress Development. And I use it to create small C programs as well. And of course I use it for Android development as well. Nothing beats Eclipse, whether you are on Windows, Mac, or Linux. Eclipse blows everything else out of the water. – JohnMerlino Jun 28 '14 at 19:30

    The C++ compatibility of Eclipse is highly limited in Ubuntu - it needs heavy reconfiguration to make it work for C++, but it works with Java out of the box. It also can't find C++ libraries. – Thomas Ward Oct 02 '15 at 17:16

    Unfortunately Eclipse is no longer the recommended IDE for Android, as it has been replaced by Android Studio. The plugin is no longer maintained. I doubt that it will work with latest version of the Android SDK. – NickT May 09 '16 at 09:29

GVim Install vim-gnome

For any languages (C, C++, C#, Python, Java, makefiles, Bash, Perl, HTML, JavaScript, assembler, PHP, Ruby, erb, fstab, passwd, most system configuration files, and much more, practically anything you want, I've yet find a need to download extra syntax highlighting plugins); available on most platforms on earth (Linux, Mac, Windows, Android, Unix, etc.).

GVim is a very configurable text editor with a unique and very powerful editing capabilities. The idea of being in command mode by default instead of insert mode and the mnemonic keybindings might take some getting used to for people coming from other IDE/editors, but once you get used to it, they allow you to edit text at the speed of thought. It is an editor optimized for touch typist as all functionalities are available via the keyboard (there are mouse support for those still learning the ropes, but the keyboard are much faster).

GVim comes with a clean, no nonsense interface by default (unlike most IDEs featured in here, GVim loads in seconds, not minutes), although with a little configuration you can turn it into anything you want it to be as GVim comes with a wealth of plugins and customization options written in VimScript or Python.

There is a terminal version as well, Vim, which works mostly the same, but inside a terminal.

Screenshots:

GVim's default interface; clean, zero nonsense:

    It does have quite a learning curve however. My first encounter with it was a shock; an editor that does not allow you to edit! I have since discovered the 'i' key but more importantly the :wq keys. I have since gladly moved on to emacs with which I am much happier. – haziz May 04 '12 at 17:27

  • @haziz All editor has advantages and disadvantages. The issues you have written is a consequence of that Vim is a modal editor: it has several modes. The modality makes is possible to do complex things without difficult (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+something) key combinations. Emacs and Vim both are good editors. I use Vim almost every day, and I like it more and more. – Arpad Horvath Jul 28 '14 at 12:13

    vim is a lot cooler that newbies could ever give it credit for. I still don't use it as my primary text editor (because sublime's multicursor is still unmatched), though for editing system files or quick edits, vim is great. And super extensible.

Qt Creator

Qt Creator is an IDE for developing cross-platform graphical C++ applications using the Qt Framework. A screenshot of the main window can be seen below. All the expected features of an IDE can be found in Qt Creator including, but not restricted to, auto-completion, code-wrapping, class browser, etc. The big advantage of using Qt Creator over another IDE or text editor when working on a Qt project is the built-in GUI editor, Qt Designer, that can be used to rapidly produce UIs in a fraction of the time it would take to type the code by hand. Qt Creator also includes support for various version control systems, including Git.

Qt Creator main window

Qt Designer come both as a stand-alone editor and build into Qt Creator. GUI design with Qt Designer is done simply by dragging and dropping the UI element from the right-hand column onto the canvas in the middle, and the left-hand column contains the properties of each object. In the screenshot below, I have dragged a few buttons onto the canvas for illustrative purposes.

Qt Designer with a few buttons

There are a few other official Qt applications that can be used when building Qt applications, either with or without Qt Creator. Qt Linguist is a tool for easily translation Qt applications into other languages. When writing the source code in Qt creator, the programmer would write a user-facing string of text like so

tr ("My String")

This marks the text as requiring translation. (NB: it is good practice to include these markers even if you don't intend to translate it yourself). Qt Linguist would then look for these markers and present a UI, similar to Launchpad's translation tools, where the translator can enter the translated string for each language into a text entry field and call the string translated. A screenshot of Qt Linguist being used to translate an application into Polish can be seen below.

Qt Linguist being used to translate an application into Polish

Finally there is Qt Assistant, which contains all the documentation and reference material required to get the most out of the Qt application suite. If you're ever used Devhelp, from the Ubuntu Software Center and where all the documentation for developing on Ubuntu can be found, then you'll already know what to expect from this. If you need to know what a particular class does, just search for it's name in Qt Assistant and you'll be taken straight to the reference page. If you want to know more about using any of the above Qt applications, user manuals for all of them can be found in here. All the documentation is stored locally so Qt Assistant can be used without an internet connection.

As with any language, framework or toolset, it is entirely possible to develop using the provided libraries without using a specialized development environment, such as those mentioned above. It's also possible to buy your own milking cow and head out with a bucket every morning at 6am, rather than heading down to the store and buying a carton that will last a week. A developer's time is a precious resource - use it wisely by using the right tools for the right job. These tools are developed by Nokia, the developers of the Qt Framework and are, as such, the best possible tools for developing Qt applications (actually, they may be the only tools).

If you want to develop a Qt application, go into the Ubuntu Software Center, search for 'qt', and download everything with the little green Qt logo next to it.

More information on Qt can be found at the Qt Developer Center, while more information on the tools themselves can be found here.

Emacs

  1. It is a text editor which is designed to be used without moving your hand away from the letters section of the keyboard.
  2. It has the ability to open and close several text files side by side.
  3. It is highly configurable (though it requires some patience to learn how to configure)
  4. Most of the crucial features of an IDE are included into Emacs (autocomplete, precompiling, syntax highlighting, etc.)
  5. It is fully functional both from terminal and GUI environment
  6. It has a built in easy-to-follow documentation

I never tried to develop any GUI application with Emacs, but for command line programming it is a killer.

  • Compiler frontend to many free compilers

  • Debugger frontend for GDB (and CDB for windows platforms)

  • Source formatter (based on AStyle)

  • Wizard to create new C++ classes

  • Code-completion / symbols-browser (work in progress)

  • Default MIME handler

  • Wizard to create new Code::Blocks plugins

  • To-do list

  • Extensible wizard based on scripts

  • Autosave (saves your work in the unfortunate case of a crash)

enter image description here

Currently, Code::Blocks is oriented towards C and C++. It can also be used for creating ARM, AVR, D, DirectX, FLTK, GLFW, GLUT, GTK+, Irrlicht, Lightfeather, MATLAB, Ogre, OpenGL, Qt 4, SDL, SFML, STL, SmartWin and wx programs and applications. Although, in some cases, the respective SDK of framework installation is required for development on a specific technology.

If you like Vim, you might also try using abominade, which uses gVim under the hood:

abominade editor editing abominade

It has an embedded gVim editor, a clever tabbed terminal pane that lets you right-click and open filenames, a file explorer, and it brings the buffers list to the forefront so you can keep straight many open files at once. You can also use any Vim splits or extra tabs you like.

To install it in Ubuntu, just do

$ sudo apt-get install vim-gtk python-gtk2 python-vte \
    python-dbus python-pip python-dev
$ sudo pip install a8

Scintilla

Scintilla is a free source code editing component. It comes with complete source code and a license that permits use in any free project or commercial product.

As well as features found in standard text editing components, Scintilla includes features especially useful when editing and debugging source code. These include support for syntax styling, error indicators, code completion and call tips. The selection margin can contain markers like those used in debuggers to indicate breakpoints and the current line. Styling choices are more open than with many editors, allowing the use of proportional fonts, bold and italics, multiple foreground and background colours and multiple fonts.

SciTE is a SCIntilla based Text Editor. Originally built to demonstrate Scintilla, it has grown to be a generally useful editor with facilities for building and running programs. It is best used for jobs with simple configurations - I use it for building test and demonstration programs as well as SciTE and Scintilla, themselves.

Development of Scintilla started as an effort to improve the text editor in PythonWin. After being frustrated by problems in the Richedit control used by PythonWin, it looked like the best way forward was to write a new edit control. The biggest problem with Richedit and other similar controls is that they treat styling changes as important persistent changes to the document so they are saved into the undo stack and set the document's dirty flag. For source code, styling should not be persisted as it can be mechanically recreated.

Scintilla and SciTE are currently available for Intel Win32 and Linux compatible operating systems with GTK+. They have been run on Windows XP, Windows 7, and on Ubuntu 10.10 with GTK+ 2.20.enter image description here
