I only learned the Alchemist.el shortcuts, otherwise I’ve set it up to work with vim shortcuts.

Just noticed there is an Atom package for Elixir:

Features

  • Autocomplete (Screenshots)
    • Lists modules, functions, variables, function params and module attributes available in the current scope.
    • Indicates the type of the module (Module, Struct, Protocol, Implementation or Exception)
    • Shows documentation summary for each module or function
    • Shows function specs
    • Works with aliased and imported modules
    • Indicates where the function was originally defined (for aliased and imported modules)
    • Smart snippets for functions: After |>, doesn’t write first parameter. After &, writes &function/arity
  • Go to definition
    • Jump to the definition of the module or function under the cursor
    • Erlang modules and functions also supported
    • Return from definition (to previous files/positions)
    • Works with aliased and imported modules
  • Go to Documentation View (Screenshots)
    • Shows documentation of the module or function under the cursor
    • Also shows specs, types and callbacks (when available)
    • Works with aliased and imported modules
  • Quoted Code view (Screenshots)
    • Convert selected text into its quoted form
    • Live pattern matching against quoted code
  • Expand Macro view (Screenshots)
    • Expands the selected macro. Shows expanded code using Expand Once, Expand and Expand All.
  • All features depending on aliases and imports are already supporting the new v1.2 notation.

Upcoming Features

  • Show information on hover
  • Go to definition of variables and module attributes
  • Auto install dependencies
  • Format ExSamples tables

Ok I think Spacemacs needs a dedicated thread so am going to start one as a linked topic :slight_smile:

after Adobe frittered away the potential of Brackets, I so wanted to like Atom… sadly I don’t :frowning: (coffeescript… why?)

I didn’t think anyone was still using that lol

At the moment - ST is enough. I’ve tried atom - meeh. Maybe vim, as i don’t like emacs. And afaik (have read about it somewhere) there’s a plugin for the jetbrain family - as they have a decent python ide, may be i’ll take a look at that one, too.

The last time I tried the intellij plugin it was very limited in its
capabilities. Nearly no highlighting and also no completion.

I’m using Emacs + Alchemist.

Not sure how actively it’s being worked on. The last commit was a month ago. I had high hopes for it when I saw the video announcing it back in October. I have a great deal of 3> for IntelliJ.

IIRC it was already labeled as v2.0. I can look again at the current
version when I’m back home.

Atom in vim mode. The atom-elixir package is getting quite good as well. Plus we have that awesome ligature support.

I’m a long time emacs user, so it with alchemist was an easy choice for me.

Spacemacs + Alchemist = awesome

Was once an emacs user for a year.
Later was vim user for around a year.
Now Spacemacs. Ohh yes, used sublime too.

People using Vim could you please point to what the best packages and resources to use it for Elixir (only used Vim like a couple of times to edit some files and would like to see what’s so good about it :stuck_out_tongue: )

Although this set-up is for Ruby, it should give you a pretty good starting point - I think you would only need to add Elixir support for it then…

Same lol

ATOM Editor all the way!

The quality and amount of community made packages makes it a pleasure to use.
