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.
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.
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.
The factor source tree, in misc/vim, has syntax highlighting and file type detection and so on.
