An IDE that uses a text user interface (e.g. ncurses)

Question

Are there any IDEs that run in the shell instead of gui. Since I really do not like to use the mouse (except for scrolling, everything is faster, for example, in firefox using shortcuts).

I really like text user interfaces (e.g. gdb in tui mode) and it would be nice to have an ideal that is fully keyboard-driven (I am currently studying emacs, but it's not really designed as an ideal, I think).

Answer 1

You can use Emacs as your IDE (with some script / package and customization) (see this )

• Emacs + ECB + JDEE : Java IDE
• Emacs + Slime : Common Lisp IDE
• Emacs + ECB + Cedet (and Xrefactory ): C ++ IDE (Alex Ott wrote a great article about this)
• Emacs + Pymacs + Ropemacs : Python IDE

Answer 2

emacs and vim can and are - and are used as IDEs. I personally use emacs as an IDE for PHP.
