#standardeditor — Public Fediverse posts

Tired of the interminable emacs vs vi editor wars (with praise for nano baked in)? Back in 2018 I wrote "ed(1) mastery is a must for a real Unix person" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/ed_mastery_is_a_must_for_real_unix_person.html - a review of @mwl 's then recent book #ed #vi #emacs #editors #unix #editorwars #standardeditor

My stock answer to all the oh-so-tired "how to exit vim(1)" schtick includes ref to https://nxdomain.no/~peter/ed_mastery_is_a_must_for_real_unix_person.html (alternatively https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2018/04/ed1-mastery-is-must-for-real-unix-person.html if you really don't mind being tracked) #vi #vim #howtoexitvim #ed #editors #standardeditor #unix #oldfart #greybeard

ed(1) Mastery is (still) a Must for Real Unix Persons, according to @vermaden's valuable news https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2024/09/30/valuable-news-2024-09-30/ (the article is at https://nxdomain.no/~peter/ed_mastery_is_a_must_for_real_unix_person.html as well as the tracked prettified place) #ed #unix #standardeditor #editors #development #history

Finally time to boast post about a bday gift I bought myself:

"Ed Mastery" by @mwlucas - a masterpiece for those of us too lazy to learn only reading the source and man(1).

Really enjoying my Friday night!
Working on my ed(1) in the sh(1)!
