readline VS sublime_text

That's nice, were you aware of readline?

Do you want to build an interactive shell or a cli tool? For a custom shell I have used https://github.com/chzyer/readline before, but I did not work on it a lot.

I also wanted custom completions based on context and this readline implementation was decent for that.

On first glance, it seems like the Mac layout would be less convenient with Linux due to the alt/option key being further from the spacebar and more awkward to hit with your thumb. This makes a lot of commonly used keybindings (such as the standard readline keybindings, https://github.com/chzyer/readline/blob/master/doc/shortcut.md, commonly used in bash and other shells amongst other applications) harder to hit. Linux GUI applications use alt/option more frequently than super/command as well.

The authors keep a crib sheet here: https://github.com/chzyer/readline/blob/master/doc/shortcut.md

but that's the readline shortcuts which are the same no matter which Unix terminal you are using, on macOS, Linux, cygwin, git bash, WSL...

Sublime is a massive improvement in my opinion, and cross platform. It's not free but you can use a personal license at work and on multiple machines.

Starting with PHP can feel like navigating through fog, with complex syntax making you feel lost in a maze of code. This phase requires you to learn the basics of the PHP language, deeply understanding its syntax, features, and design patterns, including variables, data types, functions, classes and objects, namespaces, etc. From variables to classes, progressively deepen your understanding of PHP's core knowledge. It's advisable to combine the official PHP documentation and online tutorials to build a solid foundation. Resources and tools to consider: PHP official documentation, PHP manual, online tutorials, PHPStorm, and other Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). Consider practicing basic coding with PHPStorm and Sublime Text.

The format of the test files themselves is inspired by the relatively new initiative by the Sublime Text team when they introduced a new grammar file format called Sublime Syntax and – more importantly – a way to unit test grammars. It’s using some lovely human-friendly magic comments that allow to specify what scopes should the grammar file produce for a given position on a given line.

Sublime Text

Sublime Text - Sublime Text is a popular, versatile, and highly customizable text editor used for coding and text editing tasks.

Sublime Text: A versatile and lightweight code editor (it’s my favorite code editor).

Medium/Heavy: SublimeText. Still intensely faster than VSCode.
