I am new to Erlang, and trying to find a modern text editor for it.
I build Erlang from source, and I can use the basic Erlang Mode happily.
But seems the basic erlang-mode with emacs does not contain some *key* features would be needed as a modern text editor, like auto-complete.
Actually, as a text editor, I think I just need the auto completion of library/custom modules and functions, other advanced features is not needed for now.
Which text editor do you use in daily life?
I really want to get me into emacs world but found not quite easy, a suggestion about emacs extensions would be very helpful.
By the way, I tried Visual Studio Code with the Erlang extension, it works amazing.
Best Regards,
Yao
