I just use Kate

[–] Charmander8649@programming.dev 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Kate is great for being a compiled C++ program, making it nice and lightweight. Plus lots of syntax highlighting. Not quite the same as IDEs with auto completion, but pretty good for plain text editing.

It can give autocompletion based on the current file, which is good for writing self contained classes. You can also enable an LSP to get language autocompletion :D
