What editors are best used for q coding? And how to get the syntax highlighting

[Pratyush Raman]

I have tried vim, emacs and sublime. I find significant quality of life improvement when using highlighting while I code in q.

Emacs does not seem to have an active contribution to syntax highlighting. Vim's highlights written by Simon Garland seems to be a standard.

Let me know what are you using and what are your preferences?

I've added some plugins for Q for Atom (www.atom.io) editor. It is node/chrome based and thus slower than native editors but you can easily extend it if you need something.

Hey Nick,

Yes huge fan of emacs- does this have all features that Simon has planted in vim?

Thanks vm

I have found atom to be relatively unstable.

I will try this out though!

[Pratyush Raman]

I have checked these at contrib location. Most of them are written long back/

For one I had lack of version compatibility.

[Pratyush Raman]

Urge you to link the code in the git page for kx :)

i can't claim to know what Simon's vim mode does.  but q-mode does perform syntax highlighting

and in addition, it allows you to communicate with a q/qcon process so you can send single lines, regions, functions or whole buffers.  (very similar to the way ESS-mode allows you to interact with an R/S process)

nick: i have been waiting for your q-mode. can your q-mode automatically add a prefix to every expression submitted to kdb thru ipc? one useful prefix i often use is 'system "d .rdb"' to make sure that stuff goes to the .rdb namespace. the 'system "d .rdb"' is only effective during the ipc call. so it has to be submitted as a prefix every time.

my vim stuff only does syntax colouring: 

https://github.com/simongarland/vim

if you want more advanced features like communicating with a q session see attila's version at:

http://code.kx.com/wsvn/code/contrib/avrabecz/vim

[Ryan Gonzalez]

I use Howl + howl-k; even though it's technically for K2, it works well with Q.

(Speaking of which, I've been meaning to write a Q bundle based on howl-k, but I haven't gotten the chance yet.)

good idea yan. i'll take this offline to discuss the merits of having it configured as a global/file-local variable or a prefix arg to the functions.

I personally use sublime.

 

Syntax highlighting is here: https://github.com/kimtang/sublime-q/

 

And there is also a plugin where you can send q commands directly to a q process via kdb+ studio. The idea is to load kdb+ studio into sublimerepl via scala. From there you can execute any q commands from sublime and have the results displayed in kdb+ studio.

 

Unfortunately the plugin depends on sublimerepl and scala and the installation is not trivial. So that’s why it is not available to the community yet.

I want to change the way assignment changes formating.

e.g., "func: `abc " formats func to a symbol

but   "func,: `abc" doesnt format

[Kim Tang]

Ok, done.

[yogesh garg]

I also use sublime, it's much better to view at the very least, I and a friend wrote a simple plugin to send q queries from sublime to q servers over http. It's not much, but it's something! We're yet to write something to send queries over tcp.

Kim, Thanks for your highlighting plugin!

If the above mentioned plugin can be used by a wider community, I'd be happy to re-write it.

[Pratyush Raman]

Hey Kim,

I still see the same issue.

Not sure if I am doing something wrong...

-Pratyush

[Pratyush Raman]

I have settled on vim for now. Simon's script for syntax is very useful.

I found Sublime equally good, but since most of my work is Unix based, makes more sense to use vim.

[Attila Vrabecz]

Actually recently I've been using Nick's emacs config in spacemacs (https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs) with vim bindings of course

Cheers,

   Attila

[Kim Tang]

I am now using lighttable. Syntax highlighting for q is there already , quite nice J. What is missing is a plugin to have repl supported for q. Anyone there working on this?

 

Thanks,

 

Kim

[Komsit Prakobphol]

How about chrome? 

https://github.com/komsit37/chrome-devtools-q

It support syntax highlighting and REPL on the browser. Also, it wraps your code in a function so it's safe to run on rdb.

It's not be a full fledge IDE, but I find it useful for quick query on hundred of kdb instances that I have at my work :)

You will need to install the plugin from source at the moment, but I might release to chrome store if people find it useful.

Nice,

 

Thx for sharing.

How could I get syntax highlight when I copy from a kdb/q editor and paste on this forum?

Can I have custom prefix and suffix stored for each host:port combination rather than closures? Closures work like prefix="{" and suffix="}[]"

I have updated the plugin. Now you can change custom template. Interestingly, if you change it to 'system"%0"', you can almost use q as a remote terminal!

My query takes a long time to run and it gives a long resultset that spans multiple pages. After clicking the pageDown link the URL becomes

http://localhost:7016/?[32

Can I write the query in such a way that it takes advantage of the row number in the URL to fetch just enough rows for display? The built-in hdb browser already does that.

You can increase html output size by running

system"C 1000 1000"

but the limit is 2000 rows. And I actually like it this way because it's much faster and use less memory than fetching all results in one go

Going forward, I think it's better to raise feature request/issue for the plugin in the github page instead of in this post. Since this is a bit off the topic

Hi, I would like to give it a try but look like "Load unpacked extension" is disabled?
