I am looking to do some programming on a Mac. Is there an editor
that says line numbers and column indentation?
Other than python, indentation is not usually manditory in
programming circles.
As far as line numbers go, pico (apple calls it nano, but pico still
works to envoke it) in the terminal can show you the line number at
any time, by pressing ctrl-c at any time. You also get character
position, and line count, so there's little need for actual line
numbering directly.
As far as gui-type programs go though, I've not found one that
concerns itself with such mondane things as line number or character
position on the mac, so you may be out of luck on that one. There
are editors that will let you go to a particular line, but they don't
actually tell you what line you're on, so that's only minimally useful.
In general though, specific line numbers aren't really necessary,
unless you're debugging, but most times, the ide you use for your
programming language will take you to the error w/o you needing to
know the line number directly.
I use terminal for nearly everything though, so it's possible there's
some gui programs I've missed that do have these capabilities, and if
so, I'm sure oomeone will pop up with an answer, but for me, I just
use pico, and ask for line info when I need it, which interestingly
enough isn't as often as you might think.
