Vi is somewhat cool, kate looks even better in places, but none of them had anything nearly as useful, as verilog-mode in emacs. Therefore, I decided to make the switch.
However, making yourself somewhat confortable in emacs requires a bit of effort, so here go my adjustments.
First, let’s get out emacs instances at different places in sync. Git is a very good tool for that. Therefore, I put my custom el scripts in ~/.emacs.d and made that a git repo with origin at my github account. Next step is to tune ~/.emacs to automagically load ~/.emacs.d/autoexec.el via adding
(load-file "~/emacs.d/autoexec.el")
Rest – under the cut.
