01:23 pdurbin :)
04:24 bear not a lot of people thing about it... but VS Code is an amazing editor that can be set to autosave on a timer or on focus change
04:31 sivoais hmm, I made a PR and a bot automatically gave it a *heart* : <https://github.com/njbmartin/prhero>
04:53 aditsu_ joined #sourcefu
08:50 aditsu sivoais: what's a PR?
08:52 aditsu bear: (and everybody) I'm looking for an editor that auto-saves its state (including files with unsaved changes that should remain unsaved but remembered), not auto-saving the files I'm editing, any suggestions?
08:53 bear I know that sublime text does just that
08:53 bear it will remember even new buffers that have not been given a filename
08:54 aditsu that's great! except sublime is proprietary nagware
08:55 bear yea
08:56 bear the VS Code editor has two settings: one controls when files are auto-saved and the other controls if unsaved files are restored after relaunching
08:56 bear / Controls whether unsaved files are restored after relaunching. If this is enabled there will be no prompt to save when exiting the editor.
08:56 bear "files.hotExit": true,
08:56 bear // Controls auto save of dirty files. Accepted values:  "off", "afterDelay", "onFocusChange" (editor loses focus), "onWindowChange" (window loses focus). If set to "afterDelay", you can configure the delay in "files.autoSaveDelay".
08:56 bear "files.autoSave": "off",
08:57 bear i'm finding VS Code to be quite capable of an editor
08:57 bear cross platform even
08:58 aditsu wat! microsoft made an open-source code editor that works in Linux?
08:58 bear yes :)
08:58 bear and osx
08:59 bear now, it may not be open *source* but it's liberally licensed and zero cost
08:59 aditsu hmm, it's not in Gentoo
08:59 aditsu wikipedia says the source is MIT licensed
08:59 bear yea, it's a binary download IIRC
08:59 aditsu https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode
08:59 bear https://code.visualstudio.com/download
09:00 bear show's deb's, tarballs, 32bit even
09:00 bear oh - it is open source even
09:00 aditsu that's what I'm saying
09:00 bear sweet
09:02 aditsu let me see if I can build it..
09:02 aditsu ewwww, node.js
09:03 bear yea, i'm seeing that also - ick
09:03 aditsu why microsoft, why?
09:03 bear they may have bootstrapped by using the atom editor
09:09 aditsu well, I have atom and electron already installed (if they're dependencies)
09:31 aditsu huh, it's downloading its own electron
09:31 aditsu aand.. it doesn't work yet, but I have to go, bbl
11:56 pdurbin bear: good suggestions
11:56 pdurbin aditsu: I hope you get it working
13:56 aditsu Error: Cannot find module './vs/loader'
13:56 aditsu meh, I'll just work on my own editor
18:20 sivoais aditsu: Pull Request (on GitHub)
