dte is an interesting editor I started
using lately more and more. Since it is using
execvp() it can be easily extended. I
needed comment/uncomment feature so I created a small utility that does this for
me. Code lives on repository dte
extensions but this
utilities can be used for whatever you want. Make sure you have version 1.11 or
above.
Next one will be invoking formatter based on the type of a file.
My config that works for me.
set show-line-numbers true;
set tab-width 4;
set case-sensitive-search false;
