Ask HW: Simple code editor?

2 points by neytsevi58 ↗ HN
I am looking into zen code editor, with no code auto complete, no extension, too many colors, that can beautify code.

Vim it's to hard (maybe), VS Code too many distractions, Atom same as VSC

Barebone VSCode is pretty minimalist. You can also hide everything in the side/bottom toolbar. Remove minimap and tabs, etc.

I think Sublime Text is pretty simple https://www.sublimetext.com/. I still use version 3 because it's enough for me. You don't have to install any packages, can hide the sidebar (I do); just have a simple window.

Regarding autocomplete, I made my own. You can add files which contain only the words/keywords you want.

Gedit or nano. But I’d just learn the basics of vi/vim, as it’s on every *NIX system.
