text editor setup for Verilog-A/SpectreHDL blocks in Cadenc

[boa]

Hi all!

How can I change the text editor for Verilog-A or SpectreHDL blocks in
Cadence enviroment from vi to smth else (e.g. emacs)??

I remember I changed it at my previous working place: it was possible
to do it either in Cadence settings, or in UNIX default editor
settings, but I can't recollect which files to modify..
Can someone point me to that?

You can set the SKILL variable editor in your .cdsinit file:

editor="xemacs"
editor="nedit"

etc.

You can also set it in the CIW of course.

Also, if the editor variable is not overridden, it will inherit the value from
the UNIX EDITOR environment variable - e.g.

setenv EDITOR xemacs

(in csh).
