Hi TDE users list!
This may be a bit off-topic to TDE but still related to new libraries. I noticed that in OpenSUSE 15.3 gvim is compiled against GTK3. Interestingly, this makes it very slow. At first, when I'm editing a document it works fine, but then after a while it gets so slow that I need to close it and restart it. Has anybody else had the same issue and knows a workaround?
An alternative is to install an older version of gvim that was compiled against GTK2 from an older OpenSUSE distribution. Has anybody tried anything similar?
It is hard to find an alternative text editor that has instant spell check. Any ideas? I use it mostly for LaTeX.
Thanks!
Gianluca

At the risk of getting the vim zealots all worked up, I will suggest emacs. I use it for almost all of my editing, including TeX documents.
You will find that emacs has on-the-fly spellchecking ("flyspell mode"), as well as reasonably popular add-on package for editing TeX and LaTeX documents called "auctex".
Cheers. Jim
Thanks Jim for the tip on "flyspell mode".
What about paragraph justification? I remember it was Ctrl-J? Can you set a specific line length, like in gvim I had set 93 characters per line?
Thanks!
