Which Powerful editor has the autocomplete feature?

Hey programmer, which editor are you using?

I have a macbook and I'm currently using TextMate. I'm not too happy with it as it's paid, and also the "autocomplete" feature sucks, as it can't autocomplete html, css. Javascript does work, but jQuery doesn't.

What I want is a editor that supports autocomplete of the most common languages like HTML, CSS, Javascript, jQuery, PHP. For example, as soon as I type position: in css, it will give me a list of the available values, and when I type $("div").add it will give me a list of the available functions like addClass() etc.

I really don't want to use editor A for HTML, editor B for PHP. I just want 1 editor that do all the work.

Thanks in advance

    Netbeans plus Aptana plus Notepad++

    Aptana has php/java/html support.

  • jQuery is not a language.

    PhpStorm, definitely. Simply the best IDE I've ever worked with. Auto-complete is just the start of it. It also has in-line code inspection, short code completion (just type the capitals of a classname and it will find it) and much more.

    Vim or Sublime Text with the right plugins?

  • ha, I didn't know sublime text has so many plugins. anyways, installed the jquery autocomplete. Works perfectly! :)

  • It has plugins? Damn.

    Since you're on a Mac, have you considered BBEdit?

    I used TextMate for about 6 years, and switched to Sublime last year; there are plugins for just about everything under the sun, and the editor is light and fast. Best part is I can also use it and all the plugins on my work PC and a Linux workstation.

    Other than that, spending some time learning vim can really speed along editing... But takes some dedication.

    When I log into my Xenix system with my 110 baud teletype, both vi
    *and* Emacs are just too damn slow.  They print useless messages like,
    'C-h for help' and '"foo" File is read only'.  So I use the editor
    that doesn't waste my VALUABLE time.
    
    Ed, man!  !man ed
    
    ED(1)               UNIX Programmer's Manual                ED(1)
    
    NAME
         ed - text editor
    
    SYNOPSIS
         ed [ - ] [ -x ] [ name ]
    DESCRIPTION
         Ed is the standard text editor.
    ---
    
    Computer Scientists love ed, not just because it comes first
    alphabetically, but because it's the standard.  Everyone else loves ed
    because it's ED!
    
    "Ed is the standard text editor."
    
    And ed doesn't waste space on my Timex Sinclair.  Just look:
    
    -rwxr-xr-x  1 root          24 Oct 29  1929 /bin/ed
    -rwxr-xr-t  4 root     1310720 Jan  1  1970 /usr/ucb/vi
    -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  5.89824e37 Oct 22  1990 /usr/bin/emacs
    
    Of course, on the system *I* administrate, vi is symlinked to ed.
    Emacs has been replaced by a shell script which 1) Generates a syslog
    message at level LOG_EMERG; 2) reduces the user's disk quota by 100K;
    and 3) RUNS ED!!!!!!
    
    "Ed is the standard text editor."
    
    Let's look at a typical novice's session with the mighty ed:
    
    golem> ed
    
    ?
    help
    ?
    ?
    ?
    quit
    ?
    exit
    ?
    bye
    ?
    hello? 
    ?
    eat flaming death
    ?
    ^C
    ?
    ^C
    ?
    ^D
    ?
    
    ---
    Note the consistent user interface and error reportage.  Ed is
    generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm
    the novice with verbosity.
    
    "Ed is the standard text editor."
    
    Ed, the greatest WYGIWYG editor of all.
    
    ED IS THE TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA!  ED HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF EDUCATED
    AND IGNORANT ALIKE FOR CENTURIES!  ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS
    BODILY FLUIDS!!  ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR!  ED MAKES THE SUN
    SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!!
    
    When I use an editor, I don't want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless
    help screens and cursor positioning code!  I just want an EDitor!!
    Not a "viitor".  Not a "emacsitor".  Those aren't even WORDS!!!! ED!
    ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!!
    
    TEXT EDITOR.
    
    When IBM, in its ever-present omnipotence, needed to base their
    "edlin" on a UNIX standard, did they mimic vi?  No.  Emacs?  Surely
    you jest.  They chose the most karmic editor of all.  The standard.
    
    Ed is for those who can *remember* what they are working on.  If you
    are an idiot, you should use Emacs.  If you are an Emacs, you should
    not be vi.  If you use ED, you are on THE PATH TO REDEMPTION.  THE
    SO-CALLED "VISUAL" EDITORS HAVE BEEN PLACED HERE BY ED TO TEMPT THE
    FAITHLESS.  DO NOT GIVE IN!!!  THE MIGHTY ED HAS SPOKEN!!!
    
    ?
