Hi Thufir,

This looks like the same issue as https://github.com/danlucraft/redcar/issues/82 which has a workaround you might want to try.

Mat,

thanks for the quick reply!

If nothing else, your quick reply at least indicates redcar is being used :)

You've been using it a while?  How do you like it?  Pros/cons?

Sorry to disappoint, Thufir. But I just like to be helpful. 

I probably haven’t used redcar in 5 years or more.

Last master commit was 2013, so I’d venture it doesn’t see much use these days.

There was a minor bug:

https://github.com/danlucraft/redcar/issues/82

but otherwise looks ok.  yes, does look to be a stalled project.

Which is too bad, it was a nice editor!

Yeah, it was good back in the day but this project is finished now. 

I got what I wanted out of it, which was (a) a place to write my first 100k lines of terrible code and (b) a great editor on Linux and Mac before the current waves of great editors existed (Sublime, Atom, VSCode etc). The community of people who used and contributed to it beyond that was always surprising and wonderful.

I think if we'd gone with Web technologies instead of Java it might have gone the distance, but all is easier in hindsight.

VS Code is probably the closest thing to Redcar that currently exists and it's what I use and recommend now. Still doesn't support all the same features of Redcar out of the box though... ;)
