Processing and Vim
Nov 27th, 2008, 11:29pm  
Hi,
first time here.

I searched around the web and the board for a solution to use Processing with the Vim editor. I've just found the syntax file in the official Vim site and some instructions to use an external editor.

I read about the option in the file menu of the default Processing editon, but it is not clear to me what is it for. I mean: is there a way to run the code inside Vim without opening the Processing editor?

That option just make Processing to accept editing from another editor? But still I have to click to "play" button. Am I wrong?

I read about compiling Processing to compile from the command line, but I didn't find any documentation. Are there instructions to achieve this?

I really want to use Processing and it would be great if I could use Vim to edit its files Cheesy

Thanks.

That would be grand. I'm a fan of vim and currently use it for quick edits to my .pde files.I save them and run 'em in processing. Kinda like using notepad really :S duh, but your post got me reading the vim site where I found a plugin that does syntax highlighting a reference look ups http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2115

Yes, I see. It would be nice, at least, a way to send the "run message" from Vim, so that one doesn't always have to switch window.

Yes, that's what I meant with "syntax file". I forgot to link it.

Yep you can run Processing from the command-line, that's how I'm doing it with Emacs Smiley

The command-line options are here: http://dev.processing.org/reference/everything/javadoc/processing/app/Commander.html

The given link is still working... So there is the documentation and the location, processing.app. This package can be found in pde.jar.
