Unbelievably slow code editor on Mac

Hi!
I tried Flash Builder on MacPro (one of the latest models), after Flash Builder on Windows.
The code editor on Mac is EXTREMELY slow. It's impossible to code. Is this true for anybody? Is there a fix for it?
Thanks!

Hi, I'm on a MacBook pro 2.8 and sometimes the code prediction takes quite long time to show and sometimes I have to force it buy pressing ctrl+space.
I think that Mac and Adobe never likes each other LOL
Why the iPad and iPhone plays YouTube, which is flash based (i think), and doesen't play any other flash content such as flex and air applications?

Writing web code on a Mac???? And FTP Programs?

Alright, so bear with me on this one. I've been using mac's for years for my graphic design and graphic pieces of my web sites, but I still use my PC to write the code (HTML, JavaScript, CSS, mostly) that the sites run on. I write it, in true old-fashioned sense, in Notepad.
However, now my overglorified word processor (PC) is being totally, ridiculously, slow and acting weird... I think it did this before my last Blue Screen of Death, so luckily I've backed up everything important. Anyway, I thought I'd give writing code on the Mac (a gorgeous 20" imac, in all its wondrous glory) a shot. Here's what I've done:
- Open TextEdit, type in a few lines of test code.
- Save As : select HTML as the file type, with a file name of "Test" or something.
- Open the file in Safari, expecting to see a real, webpage. Instead? I see my code. Black text, white background, flaunting every little
and tag like a defiant child smearing raspberry jam all over my couch.
I just can't switch to a WYSIWYG editor and lose the (tyrannical) control I've had over my web pages from writing the code in notepad. So what should I be doing to write code on a mac? I need to know soon, since my PC will be exploding any day now. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
P.S. I'd prefer not to have to spend any money to purchase a text editor for web code. Am I being cheap? I don't really know. But if I can use a program that's already on my mac, I'm all for it.
P.P.S. Also, I've been uploading code/images/etc. to my hosts via the WinSCP FTP software, on a PC. Can anyone recommend good FTP software for OSX (10.4.10).

Both of iFelix's suggestions are great free apps and I would recommend them also.
If you don't mind shelling out some money for the apps (after a trial of course), I myself use Panic's Coda (http://www.panic.com/coda/) for coding. A lot of people also prefer apps like TextMate (http://macromates.com/).
CSSEdit (http://macrabbit.com/cssedit/) is a really nice combination of a WYSIWYG and source editior strictly for CSS also (Coda has this sort of functionality built in also).
As far as FTP, if you arent happy with the free options, Panic makes an app called Transmit (http://www.panic.com/transmit/) that is excellent, and is also basically built into Coda.

Slow Code Editing in Flash Builder 4.7

For some reason my Code Editor works painfully slow. I see that other folks have experienced this issue. I don't want to switch to another IDE. I have already increased the values of Xms and XMX (Xms1024m -Xmx2048m) and also created a new workspace but it did not make a difference. Other appliations work fine. I am using a i7 laptop with 16GB of RAM.
FB was working fine and then all of a sudden started to slow down. I believe that it happened after I installed Apached Flex SDK but I am not positive. I have other IDEs that I use for testing things so that might be a problem as well. I would like some help to fix the slow code editing because it is making it difficult to use FB and I don't want to change.
I have Creative Cloud account.
The size of the project is 19mb.

Hi Blake,
In another page (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1056583), Adobe states that it will be possible to download 4.6 in alternative to 4.7, to still have the Design View. However, I have not seen such possibility yet.
I will not say that "real programmers don't use design mode". They do, if it works fine.
However, the Design View was not very useful for mobile projects, if you wanted to create an interface which, at run time, adapts to different screen estates.
It was very good to draw an initial mock-up, but only the simulator (and the device) can say how the app really looks like (if you want to know more, please have a look here: http://aliencoding.com/2013/02/22/adobe-flash-builder-4-7-has-no-design-view-is-it-blasphe my-no-but-the-software-contains-some-other-blasphemous-aspects/).
If you develop for desktop, then I agree the Design View lack is a real drag. I think Adobe should at least lower the price of the program, now that it's been scaled down for (I think) copyright issues (the Design mode relies on Flash professional components that was not donated to Apache).
I love this platform because it really saved my butt in cases of real fast devployment, BUT NOW it lacks support for Windows 8 that PhoneGap has...
Can we say... it is a legacy framework by now?

Is there any way to fix the slow code completion in Netbeans 5.5+

Netbeans 5.5 or Netbeans 5.5.1
Is there any possible fix for the slow code completion within the editor? I've googled this issue and haven't found much of anything relevant.
While, not used all the time - a faster than what it is now code completion would be helpful.
Thanks,

helloWorld
Thanks for the response and useful response.
:P
I'm not a decent machine now and I guess I'll just keep on typing.

The best Latex Editor for MAC

What is the best Latex editor for Mac ? I'm looking for a suitable alternative to MacTex - either Commercial or freeware.

andy8,
there are quite a few “integrated” solutions, combining editor and pdf preview (the very fine TeXShop being one of them) -- some of them are quite new (even beta); TeXShop, on the other hand, is very mature:
TeXPad:
http://vallettaventures.com/texpad
Latexian:
http://tacosw.com/latexian/
TeXnicle:
http://www.bobsoft-mac.de/texnicle/texnicle.html
Scribo:
http://www.scriboapp.com/
Texmaker (cross-platform, qt-based; all the others are OS X native):
http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/index.html
You can also check the entries, and the comments, on Macupdate:
http://www.macupdate.com/find/mac/latex
That said, I use none of them, although I have TeXShop around. (This doesn’t mean the new integrated solutions aren’t any good; I haven’t tried them yet.)
That’s because what’s most important, imho, in a good LaTeX environment is the editor, i.e., how much help is there to get the source written. Accordingly, many people would agree that the best editor available plus a fine synchronised, but stand-alone pdf viewer is superior than a (compromising, or so the musing goes) all-in-one tool.
The, hands-down, best pdf viewer, supporting PDFSync (syncing source and pdf), is Skim; it’s free:
http://skim-app.sourceforge.net/
As regards the best editor, there is constant disagreement among OS X users, some would even say “war” -- but that just shows how vivid the Mac ecosphere is when it comes to such tools.
Leaving the “classics” aside, Emacs (Aquamacs, http://aquamacs.org/) and Vim (Macvim, http://code.google.com/p/macvim/), dreaded for their learning curve, worshipped for their power, two of the best, modern, clean, yet powerful editors are TextMate and Sublime Text 2:
http://macromates.com/
helpful: http://www.astrobetter.com/how-and-why-to-use-textmate-for-latex/
http://www.sublimetext.com/2
helpful: http://tekonomist.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/the-in-progress-latex-plugin-for-subl ime-text-2-4/
Many would hold that the combination of either TextMate (2) or Sublime Text 2 together with Skim provides the best LaTeX environment ever.
Take care.

File not visible in Layout Editor, but okay in Source Code Editor & Preview

I just finished editing this page, and uploaded. It is visible on www, but when I go to edit it in Layout Editor, the cursor is blinking on a white background. Nothing appears to be there. However if I change to Source Code Editor or Preview, all my data is there. Here is the link to it - www.engraversnetwork.com/uls_lasers.html.

Wow! I figured it out. I was cleaning up my meta tags and left the ">" bracket off of the end of the line. Maybe that will help someone later on

How to add a font for use by the code editor

Version 3.0.04 windows
found Preferences -> Code Editor -> Fonts
Did not see the font I would like to use in the list. The font is terminal. The font can be displayed in Control Panel -> fonts in windows.
In the help I found Edit Font Location but could not find the dialog box described in the help
Is there a procedure to add the font so SQL Dev can use it?
Thanks

Hi Dag,
Apparently editing Font Location in 3.0 applies only to ...
Tools | Preferences | Database | Export/View DDL Options | PDF Format

How to change background color in code editor?

Hi. Some of the pre-selectable Schemes under Tools->Preferences->Code Editor->PL/SQL Syntax Color (e. g. Ocean) have a "global" default background color that applies to all styles. How can I edit this color for my own color scheme?
(SQL Developer version 3.1.07)

Jeff,
if you try to change all the plsql keywords to the same background color (that is not either white or black or blue) via the options panel in SQL Developer (Code Editor > PLSQL syntax colors), you will get the new background color in the worksheet only for the areas with plsql text, while the areas without any text will have the same background color as the base color scheme you started with. This means that there is no way to change the "general background" color via the options panel, but you have to use the same background color of one of the predefined color schemes.
This seems to me a bug, but probably it's not considered high priority, so it will not be fixed for the time being.
I would like to stress the fact that being able to change the color scheme of the development environment that you use every day about 8 hours a day can make quite a difference on your eyes at the end of the day.
Thanks,
Paolo

Is there a way to restrict the cursor at the end of a line in the source code editor??

In the source code editor, the cursor will always follow where I click. But I wanna restrict it at the end of a line, just like other text editors do. Is there a option or sth? I can't put up with it any longer.
Solved!

Hello morphe!
The source editor in the LabWindows/CVI environment is constructed under the concept of virtual space.
At the moment, in the current version of LabWindows/CVI, this is the default behavior, which cannot be changed from the editor preferences dialogs.

Flash Player that auto appeared on my screen. Ever since I can not play video, and my system has become painfully slow. I have Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 and software is up to date. Before this everything was running beautifully. Can you please provide a link so

Dear Adobe.
Yesterday I installed the latest version of Flash Player that auto appeared on my screen. Ever since I can not play video, and my system has become painfully slow. I have Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 and software is up to date. Before this everything was running beautifully. Can you please provide a link so I can uninstall the latest version only. Thank you. Stephen Kress. Melbourne. Australia

When you run the uninstaller, it will uninstall all Flash Player versions.
If you want to revert to an older version after that, get it from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

EA1 - Right gutter scroll bar in the Code Editor doesn't work?

SQL Developer version 4.0.0.12, Windows XP
I'm opening package body in Code Editor. In previous version of SQL Dev after pressing CTRL and moving mouse over the right gutter I could see a few lines of the code from mouse pointed position in the source.
Now it doesn't work.
Link below - section "Working in the Procedure Editor":
http://www.thatjeffsmith.com/archive/2012/01/viewing-plsql-compilation-errors-in-oracle-sql-developer/

Hi,
It is true the right gutter's general scrolling window view capability no longer exists in 4.0. However, if code errors exist, then small blue squares (uncompiled code) or slightly larger red rectangles (compiled code) appear in the gutter representing the relative positions of the bad code. Hovering the mouse over those produces a pop-up display of the offending code and, in fact, the pop-up will not display if the Ctrl key is pressed at the same time. Of course, clicking on the rectangles or squares moves the editor's current line to that code as in earlier releases.
So it is not clear whether this is merely the new, intended behavior, or if more of the prior behavior remains to be implemented in 4.0. As far as I can tell, nothing important has been lost here, but that is just my opinion.
Regards,
Gary

BUG: EA 2.1 code editor: completion insight doesn't work in opened files

I just migrated from SQLDEV 1.5.5 to EA 2.1. It's nice that I colud find so many of my suggestions implemented in this new version. THANKX :-)
code editor:
When I'm working in SQL Worksheet the "completion insight" feature is working well, but when I try to use it in an opened file, it doesn't work.
Is there a special preference to turn on for use with files?
Edited by: @chris on 12.11.2009 10:57

Correct it did work in 1.5. on .sql files, when connected, so I have updated the ER to bug. We also need to expand this to support PL/SQL files.

Preferences: Code Editor: Printing: Add File Path and Date to Print Header?

Is there a way to add file full path and date to the print file header for a SQL Worksheet when printing from the Code Editor? So, for example, if my SQL worksheet is called MySQL.sql and is saved to C:\Myfiles\SQL_Code\, I'd like to print the full path 'C:\Myfiles\SQL_Code\MySQL.sql' and today's date as part of the print header along with the page numbers at the top of the code. I see a Java preview in the Preferences: Code Editor: Printing window that mentions a "Today" date but I don't know Java and that is an uneditable preview. I have checked the "Print File Header" check box. Is the file header definition stored somewhere in a configuration file and/or is there a way to modify/customize the default file header?
I am a new user to SQL Nav. version 3.2.20.09 Build-MAIN 09.87. I could do this in SQL Navigator but can't figure it out in SQLDeveloper. Thank you.

HI
First of all,
Unless otherwise you selected some option like page break after/before - both body and header/footer will print on same page in report, so in pdf as well.
If you have difference on report and PDF that you should look into your setup.
If you want more help, please be particular on your issue

Help selecting non-continuous text in code editor, please?

I'm editing a list... I want to make a lot of selections at once and edit them at the same time. You know how you can go through files in windows and ctrl+click/select files to move around? I could do this in Notepad++ so I guess I could switch back and forth but that would be a big pain. Any ideas?

Depending on what the edit is, you could use the Find & Replace (CRTL+F) to just click your way through the list items. If the list is all different items, you'll probably have to do it in a word processor. I don't know any way to do it in the code editor.
