Thanks. I’ll try some of these. To answer the initial question, on my desktop (Mac) I usually use any number of the Jetbrains IDEs (pycharm, rust rover, clion) but they’re not an option. Aside from that I use neovim, more specifically astronvim. The problem there is it needs 10+ and a whole load of plugins so I’d be amazed if they’re all working.

So given all that, I’ll try some of your suggestions. Thanks for your time sorting a few things out!

xed is in the repo now, let me know if you want neovim.

Possibly, but my config requires NeoVim 10+ It wouldn't hurt me to learn how to do it properly instead of using a predefined config however!.

So if it's quick and easy to add then please do, else your time is better spent elsewhere

I tried Geany, that seems to support rust out of the box, but none of the autocomplete stuff that was meant to work did. I'm sure that's just something I could look into. I doubt that's related to the platform, it will be me not knowing how to set it up right, I'm sure.

NeoVIM in Debian sid is 10.4. That is what I would build.

Autocompletion:

Well that would be my preferred option. I’d have to see how I get on with the plugin ecosystem but neovim itself would definitely get my vote as it’s one of the tools I use all day long in my job and a bit of a go to for me.

More dependency problems during the build of neovim:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy : Depends: lua-luv-dev (>= 1.43.0) but it is not installable
Depends: python3-pynvim (>= 0.5.2-2~) but it is not installable
Unable to resolve dependencies! Giving up...

So I need to somehow also build lua-luv (or use an older version) and maybe more. I will try tomorrow. It is more complicated than I thought.

Don’t invest too much time and effort on my part. I can get by with other options and I don’t spend a massive amount of time in Linux on my PPC machines. I can always cross compile or just do most work on Mac and then just compile / test on ppc. The keybinds drive me insane on Linux, whatever the flavour for starters.
