    Which text editor do you use?

    • Emacs mostly
    • sometimes fin for configs and some other small file tweaks and when developing/testing fin,
    • sometimes mcedit just because it’s an awesome under sung hero of easy tui text editors. … beats nano imo.
    • sometimes leafpad, like when i need some intermediary between things that are being stubborn to paste between
    • rare neovim, like when i’m trying to learn neovim, or trying something that only neovim has
    • rare nano… there are probably still times…
    • once kate to see what it was like, I liked it, then I added the features I liked to emacs.

        mcedit came before your “MCEdit”.

        same as bedrock linux came before bedrock version of minecraft for linux.

        minecraft ((at least) twice) further confounded searches for the already obscure foss tools.

        mc = midnight commander.

        mcedit = midnight commander’s inbuilt text editor.
