I don't make large edits on these systems

When I need to do real work, I use ED4W on a Windows system (the files I need to work with are generally on ClearCase servers, so access to them is just as fast on winders as on a Linux system...and the tools are much better).

"So don't pay attention to the approval ratings that say 68% of Americans disapprove of the job this man is doing. I ask you this, does that not also logically mean that 68% approve of the job he's not doing? Think about it. I haven't."

Install requested - (broomberg) - Aug. 10, 2006, 01:28:26 PM EDT

I use nano as my default editor. - (folkert) - (8) - Aug. 10, 2006, 12:29:22 PM EDT

Hmmm - (broomberg) - (7) - Aug. 10, 2006, 01:41:08 PM EDT

No "undo" - (broomberg) - (5) - Aug. 10, 2006, 02:01:34 PM EDT

Try this - (drewk) - (2) - Aug. 10, 2006, 02:04:09 PM EDT

I've played with cream - (broomberg) - (1) - Aug. 10, 2006, 02:13:24 PM EDT

I won't respond to that post - (drewk) - Aug. 10, 2006, 02:14:05 PM EDT

Undo is only necessary for htose who make mistaeks. - (Another Scott) - (1) - Aug. 10, 2006, 02:18:43 PM EDT

You can force it to be the default - (folkert) - Aug. 10, 2006, 02:54:07 PM EDT

No, I use them all. I am not a programmer. - (folkert) - Aug. 10, 2006, 03:09:45 PM EDT

Never "learned" vi, eh? I like him already! - (jb4) - (50) - Aug. 10, 2006, 09:46:17 AM EDT

Sigh - (broomberg) - (49) - Aug. 10, 2006, 11:24:25 AM EDT

Well... - (jb4) - (37) - Aug. 10, 2006, 01:22:03 PM EDT

I think auto-complete is a macro - (drewk) - (36) - Aug. 10, 2006, 11:50:34 AM EDT

Depends on who you ask - (jb4) - (13) - Aug. 10, 2006, 01:23:37 PM EDT

So have them fix it - (broomberg) - (3) - Aug. 10, 2006, 01:42:41 PM EDT

Yeah...comma...right - (jb4) - (2) - Aug. 10, 2006, 02:08:21 PM EDT

Sigh - (broomberg) - (1) - Aug. 10, 2006, 02:16:44 PM EDT

Is vim the windows version of vi? - (Nightowl) - (8) - Aug. 11, 2006, 02:23:29 PM EDT

Nope, 'vim' is 'vi, improved' - (drewk) - (7) - Aug. 11, 2006, 02:35:10 PM EDT

I seem to have both kinds - (Nightowl) - (6) - Aug. 11, 2006, 02:50:41 PM EDT

If it has multiple levels of 'undo' it's probably vim -NT - (drewk) - (5) - Aug. 11, 2006, 02:55:26 PM EDT

Hmmm I only know of one undo command. - (Nightowl) - (4) - Aug. 11, 2006, 03:08:10 PM EDT

What's the command you use to start it? - (jake123) - (3) - Aug. 11, 2006, 07:37:30 PM EDT

vi :) - (Nightowl) - (2) - Aug. 12, 2006, 12:08:55 PM EDT

Of course vim can be aliased to "vi"... - (jb4) - (1) - Aug. 15, 2006, 03:08:41 PM EDT

Re: Of course vim can be aliased to "vi"... - (Nightowl) - Aug. 16, 2006, 02:32:36 AM EDT

Yes, I mean vim - (broomberg) - (21) - Aug. 10, 2006, 01:25:05 PM EDT

Was I right about that being a plugin? - (drewk) - (20) - Aug. 10, 2006, 01:35:37 PM EDT

No idea - (broomberg) - (19) - Aug. 10, 2006, 01:44:20 PM EDT

Hmm, gvim vs vim - (drewk) - (18) - Aug. 10, 2006, 02:02:46 PM EDT

I prefer gvim - (broomberg) - Aug. 10, 2006, 02:15:25 PM EDT

No law says you have to use a mouse and scroolbars - (jb4) - (16) - Aug. 10, 2006, 03:53:36 PM EDT

:7000<ENTER> or 7000G -NT - (broomberg) - (2) - Aug. 10, 2006, 04:59:30 PM EDT

But the day goes faster hitting Page Down 200x. ;-) -NT - (Another Scott) - Aug. 10, 2006, 05:01:30 PM EDT

Assuming, of course, that you know the target line... - (jb4) - Aug. 10, 2006, 05:07:21 PM EDT

No, that's not what I was going to say - (drewk) - (11) - Aug. 10, 2006, 05:20:44 PM EDT

I've seen enough of them. - (admin) - Aug. 10, 2006, 05:22:32 PM EDT

Here - (broomberg) - (7) - Aug. 10, 2006, 06:20:39 PM EDT

And the last time you needed to edit /etc/termcap was...? -NT - (Yendor) - (6) - Aug. 10, 2006, 06:34:12 PM EDT

About 21 years ago - (broomberg) - (5) - Aug. 10, 2006, 06:49:46 PM EDT

YPB -NT - (hnick) - (1) - Aug. 10, 2006, 07:00:14 PM EDT

Wasn't so bad. - (broomberg) - Aug. 10, 2006, 07:15:49 PM EDT

I think the term would be "pathological example" - (drewk) - Aug. 10, 2006, 05:05:33 PM EDT

Oops, time travelling on the reboot - (drewk) - Aug. 11, 2006, 10:25:23 AM EDT

No, really, that's what happened - (drewk) - Aug. 11, 2006, 10:25:48 AM EDT

10K lines? Pshaw. - (pwhysall) - (1) - Aug. 11, 2006, 03:01:08 AM EDT

Yes, I **did** know that. - (jb4) - Aug. 15, 2006, 03:10:51 PM EDT

That's what incremental search is for... -NT - (admin) - Aug. 10, 2006, 05:22:12 PM EDT

Emacs. - (admin) - (10) - Aug. 10, 2006, 11:50:13 AM EDT

You can do that in vi, too - (drewk) - (9) - Aug. 10, 2006, 11:54:26 AM EDT

I don't see that in the man page. - (admin) - (4) - Aug. 10, 2006, 12:26:49 PM EDT

Nope, it's a plugin - (drewk) - (3) - Aug. 10, 2006, 12:38:20 PM EDT

Looks somewhat similar - (admin) - (2) - Aug. 10, 2006, 12:44:37 PM EDT

Yeah, it's not as general-purpose - (drewk) - (1) - Aug. 10, 2006, 12:55:09 PM EDT

Right. - (admin) - Aug. 10, 2006, 12:57:19 PM EDT

nano can edit files on remote machines... - (folkert) - (3) - Aug. 10, 2006, 12:27:34 PM EDT

Emacs is as simple as you make it. - (admin) - (2) - Aug. 10, 2006, 12:32:21 PM EDT

"Modal == teh sukc" for newbies, indeedly do. - (folkert) - (1) - Aug. 10, 2006, 12:55:19 PM EDT
