What is your favorite Code Editor for Defold-lua?

Questions
1

I’m using Defold for my prototypes since more than a year now and I’m planning to use it for production on 2019. Don’t get me wrong, I love Defold. But I never ever used the build-in code editors. They are always lack of features and have performance issues. That is not special to Defold. I believe every developer has its own way of doing things. I know Defold has small but very talented also passionate team. In my opinion, they should focus on building new futures rather then working on code editor. (Like my grid issue :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: )

So I’m curious, which code editor is mostly used for developing Defold-lua?
Just for fun, I’m going left a poll here :slight_smile:
(Just asking, I’m not interesting in collecting data or something.)

  • Build-in Defold Editor
  • Atom
  • Sublime
  • Intellij
  • Visual Studio Code
  • Other

For anyone using Visual Studio Code, have you a sort of autocompletion?

For Visual Studio Code there are multiple extensions for Lua. One extension I’ve used supports autocompletion and can be found here as well as the instructions on how to install it.

Well, I am forced to use the built-in editor for now. Its a real shame that there is no vscode plugin for this. I use vscode for unity, so would have been nice using a familiar editor for Defold.
