Anyone using Nova Editor from Panic for Defold?

Questions
#1

Anyone using Nova Editor for Defold? Curious about auto-complete and the specific path URL to use…

#2

I use Nova, but not with Defold. I’ve never been able to get the external editor path to work (even with VSCode).

#3

I’d love to try it… anyone got any ideas how to get the path to work?

#4

I think you need the Nova command line tools: Installing Nova's Command Line Tool / Michael Lee

That worked! Not sure yet if I will use it, but nice to get it working! Thanks @britzl

If I set the external editor is there a way to load a file into the internal editor? I see options but can’t figure out how to have both active simultaneously so something like ctrl+click sends it to one over the other.

No, if you have specified an external editor it will always be the one used.

#8

is it possible to make a check box to turn on and off the external editor? Sometimes I have to go for the native code editor to read and understand how an extension works (from github that I can’t open externally) . Then I need to write the external editor’s path again to go back to vscode.

Feature request would be if CTRL+Click or some equivalent sends the file to the internal editor vs. default external editor set. I guess there could be some weird stomping issue with two editors but not sure that’s a big deal.
