 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Just loaded up my first picomite with MMBasic. Is there any recommended editor with features similar to MMEdit for Mac OS? Footnote added 2024-01-29 21:08 by apalert Thanks for your suggestions folks. Lots of searching, I don't think there is a solution native to Mac. MMBasic editor in the Mac Terminal is not useable...issues like brushing the trackpad sprinkles random characters all over the code, trying to paste code in from a text editor gives a message "Clipboard is empty"! MMEdit is so well matched to MMBasic and such a nice thing to work with, kudos Jim, maybe I'll put Parallels Desktop with Win 11 on my Mac and run MMEdit in there. |

Hello, and welcome to the 'Shed. :) The "default" for programming a PicoMite in MMBasic is to use a terminal emulator on the Mac and use the MMBasic built-in editor. There are probably other ways but I've never investigated them as I've never owned a Mac. :) Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

MMEdit is terrific, but I just use any editor on the PC (Notepad++ preferably) and then, to transfer, select all, copy, F10 in the terminal program (for a PC--for a Mac, set up a keyboard macro to insert the text, "AUTOSAVE"--or do what VegiPete does and have "AUTOSAVE" as the first line in your program), then paste in the code, and finish up with Ctrl-Z). The code is then able to be EDITed, SAVEd, or RUN. ~ Edited 2024-01-24 00:18 by lizby PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |

If I get really bored, I might have a go at syntax for Visual Studio Code. It is available for Windows, Linux and Mac. The basic syntax highlighting etc should be relatively straight forward. Likewise automating file transfers to the 'mite. A file manager would be another problem. I don't think I will live long enough to get that bored. Someone might take up the challenge.
