Support in TextMate

Jeremy Ashkenas, the creator of CoffeeScript, has written a TextMate bundle that provides syntax highlighting, snippets, and inline compilation. Visit the project homepage at https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script-tmbundle and follow the installation instructions.

Support in Sublime Text 2

Sublime Text users have several choices available for CoffeeScript support.

One option is to use parts of the TextMate bundle. To use this, create a CoffeeScript directory in Sublime Text's plugin directory (on OS X, this is found at ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2). Then, download the bundle, extract Syntaxes/CoffeeScript.tmLanguage and Preferences/CoffeeScript.tmPreferences and place these files in the new directory. To simplify the process, you can download these two files directly using the following URLs:

The other option is to use the native Sublime Text plugin for CoffeeScript. This offers more features and is built specifically for Sublime Text. Visit the project homepage at http://xavura.github.io/CoffeeScript-Sublime-Plugin/ and follow the installation instructions.

Support in Vim

A Vim script is available that provides syntax highlighting as well as a :CoffeeCompile command to compile CoffeeScript on the fly. Visit the project homepage at https://github.com/kchmck/vim-coffee-script/ and follow the installation instructions.

Support in Emacs

There is an Emacs Major Mode named coffee-mode that provides syntax highlighting, menu support, and on-the-fly compiling. Install it from the Emacs package archive, or visit the project homepage at https://github.com/defunkt/coffee-mode for more information.
