Hello.
I was tinkering with Nim in the past already and wanted to check out the 1.0 version. Unfortunately, plugins for almost all editors lags behind - I know that 1.0 is just 4 days old, but it seems that even 0.19.6 release doesn't have wide editor support. It looks like only Emacs (and maybe NPP) plugin is actively maintained.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious... In what editor are you writing Nim today?
Best regards

I am mainly developing my Nim programs using an iPad Pro connected to a Rapberry Pi 4B via a terminal emulator called ‘Blink Terminal’. This uses Mosh or SSH - so all my code editing is at the command line only.
I have tried using both Vim and Emacs which were ok, but I have finally settled on the Micro Editor: https://micro-editor.github.io/
This is configured to run the ‘nimpretty’ tool on save, and has built in syntax checking for Nim too, which is very nice! I can compile and run from within the editor also - so makes it pretty good workflow wise.
Plus, it uses most of the common key bindings for Windows type applications, so saves having to learn Vim or Emacs ones instead, if you are already familiar with Windows (by choice or otherwise) of course! The keys bindings can be altered to suit as well. All the setting are in simple JSON files.
I run the ‘nightly’ version downloaded straight from the releases GitHub page - just needs a single application file to install it.
Might be an alternative option to consider, although I have also used Microsoft Visual Studio Code on a Ubuntu laptop as well, and that works well with Nim too, once the correct Market Place add-on is install for Nim support!
I use SublimeText 3 also.
While the Nim support is out of date and seems to have quirks, it does not actually cause me any problems.
