[fpc-pascal] [OT] which editor - emacs?

[David Emerson]

It took me a couple years to take that plunge (of course a couple years 
ago Lazarus was not as robust as it is today) but I will never go back!

Lazarus does have the distinct disadvantage that it's cumbersome to work 
on multiple projects at once. Especially, e.g., if I want to test some 
feature or idea in a new little project, I tend to just do that in a 
separate editor rather than opening another group of lazarus windows or 
closing the big project I'm working on.

Some of the most valuable hotkeys for me are ctrl-click on an identifier 
to jump to declaration; and the same can be done with ctrl-shift-up. To 
go down to implementation, ctrl-shift-down (codetools commands - find 
procedure method). I've also customized other hotkeys, e.g. moving from 
tab to tab, which make the source editor feel more like other editors. 
The customizability coupled with the great codetools features are 
unmatched.
