I'm using the Helium interpreter/compiler with the Hint interface within Linux. Unfortunately, I want an editor that allows me to jump to the row/column of the source when I receive an error.
Does anyone know of a good editor in Linux to do this or the commands for Emacs etc. that can be used from within Hint to achieve it?
Emacs and XEmacs allow you to go to a specified line using +<number>,
e.g.
xemacs +20 foo.txt
loads foo.txt and positions the cursor on line 20. The same syntax
works with emacsclient (Emacs) and gnuclient (XEmacs), which load a
file into an existing XEmacs process, i.e.
gnuclient +20 foo.txt
Emacs requires the server-start command (e.g. in ~/.emacs) before
emacsclient can connect; similarly XEmacs requires gnuserv-start.
