Scite

Scite is most lightweight editor and portable by nature, it is my favorite quick note and code for long time, only 3MB.

Here is show you how to use scite as lightweight Go IDE.

scite + go dark theme

You can download from my github and quick replaces your scite theme. Please backup your SciTEGlobal.properties if you have some change on it.

git clone git@github.com:robertluwang/scite.git
cd scite
cp SciTEGlobal.properties <scite path>/
cp go.properties <scite path>/
