a good code editor for HP Prime

[swagner53]

Hi Frank,

Bad news on my end running on a G1 physical calculator. You were right about the limitation of the space - only able to see 185 lines and mostly OK on the width under 1.4. Under 1.5, tried to edit "Virtual Keyboard" (and others) and got warnings on "File has too long lines! Display...", then get "Insufficient Memory" error. I also tried creating a new program, which it created the shell, then immediately got an "Insufficient Memory" error. Note that my Memory is also being taken away by Code Editor. I had ~ 16MB available to me before I ran Code Editor, then only about 1MB after. I needed to constantly do a reset to get the memory back.

Note I didn't try changing any settings - used as you had defined 1.5. Not sure how it would work under a G2 with 8 times the memory, but definitely not a go under G1 32MB.

Good luck and advise if you substantially changed the approach and would like me to test again.

Take care, Steve
