Have you tried Windows new terminal editor? It's way better than nano. Finally a win for Windows chads.https://github.com/microsoft/edit
>>108591790so a worse version of micro?
>>108591790nano is unironically all you need in a terminal editor.>but I need-No you don't.
>>108591790I don't use terminals because I'm not a tranny and my parents aren't divorced. I just edit text files with pic related.
>>108591790use case for a text editor? i feel like a user shouldn't need to be editing any text at all. even a word processor i feel is a bit to much.
>>108591813editing config files or reading log files on a remote server logged in through a terminalthat's basically the use case
>>108591790It's a bit of a stretch to call it "new" it's just a not-quite-correct rewritten-in-rust clone of the old 16-bit edit command. I would say just use nano but every mingw build of nano I've ever encountered or created has been extremely slow and I think it's because it has the problem that most GNU software has where it assumes you are using Linux filesystem caching so it uses files on disk actually backed by your real filesystem instead of memfds like normal software. Unlike gcc and some others there is no way to make it not do this
>>108591855>extremely slow>it uses files on disksounds like windows issues
>>108591855>nanois nano installed by default on every single microsoft system?
>>108591790I prefer using Neovim.
>>108591790use case when vim exists?
>>108591790>nanoEd is the standard text editor.
>>108591790yall are overcomplicating things. there is no one best editor. use the one you like to use for a particular task.codeblocks, xed, nano. the three editors that let me do just about whatever comfortably.i personally use codeblocks for code that isn't python or shell and xed for pretty much everything else. i have a script for making, testing, and deploying new scripts quickly, and nano is blocking so i use it for that particular usecase.i figured the best way to get better at scripting is to do most things i would normally do manually with a script. i was right btw.also because its saved as a standalone script, unlike say bash history its super easy to just *do that exact thing again*
Fancy terminal editors are a meme to larp as a epic haxxor, just use a GUI based editor like a normal human and nano for simple edits
>>108591790No thanks, I'm sticking with vi.
>>108592163i opened notepad and saw it had ai in it
>>108591790>Install Rust
>>108591889It is not a "Windows issue" for a software suite to do I/O so egregiously wrong that the only kernel it works on had to change how it handled I/O to accommodate it better. If you ever actually took a peek at any GNU code you'd see how absolutely dogshit it is compared to stuff like clang or the Linux kernel or Chromium. Doesn't help that since they have their own compiler they do terrible hacky stuff everywhere to look clever and use reserved compiler keywords.
>>108591790>rust
>>108592489you just pointed yourself out as the most retarded gorilla nigger there is.
>>108591800This.But: >>108591799 this.Because Micro is Nano with SANE modern keybindings.
>>108591826>editing config filesStop doing that.
>>108592789why? if the apps we use is using config files then that's what we have to useor are you a "not invented here" purist?
>>108592747Thanks for the recommendation, looks interesting. Does it work in the shell without Xorg or Wayland?
>microshart codehttps://github.com/search?q=repo%3Amicrosoft%2Fedit+unsafe+%7B&type=codePFFFFTHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>108591790borland bros are we back?
>>108592198>>108592589There's no avoiding it, already in the Windows and Linux kernel. And it only matters if you're intending to contribute source.Ada btw
>>108591790I’m glad Windows is getting such bad press, complaints and MacBook Neoed from all sides. This is going to wake them up. Windows 11 is gonna benefit from it all.
I remember using edit in command line in windows vista, when was it removed
>>108591804*krashes*
>>108591790It's worse than original MS-DOS Editor.
I use Pico :-)
>>108592885>Windows 11 is gonna benefit from it all.no they'll just double down and jeets will lie and damage control about it
>>108592489>simplifying io so that doing the obvious thing works = badboo hoobet you like cooperative multitasking too
>>108592894use case for stable software?
>>108591790yes, and it’s fine>>108591799yes
I miss WordStar keys, Ctrl+K for text block handling was kino.
What's the point of having a terminal editor on Windows if you're not using Windows Server Core?
>>108591790
>>108592894Post beef.
>>108591790>written in rustTransware. I'll stick with literally anything else.
>>108592860filthy casual here but isn't unsafe proof that the way rust is designed is flawed?
>>108595144No. Compiled programs are always "unsafe", safety features in languages are just productivity tools.In this case though there is no reason you would ever need to use unsafe to make a fucking text editor. The only reason it's being used here is because it's a rewrite of a program written in a different language.
>>108591790>kate>nano>notepad.bread
>>108591790>doesn't integrate copilotcompletely useless
>>108591800>>108591813This guy wouldn't use nano. He's clearly some kind of vim/emacs fagwhat a fat loser
>>108595144Yes. The guy is a complete moron and doesn't know what "unsafe" means.Hint: 99.999% of software ever written is "unsafe" by modern trannie pseudo-standards. It doesn't mean "bad". It means "the programmer is required to know what he is doing instead of relying on a nanny state".
>>108591790>It's way better than nano.not like that's hardcome back when they release something better than nvim
>>108595583He uses GNOME Builder
>>108591975just attempting to comprehend basic vim use would break an indian man's mind
>>108595476Suicide. Commit it.>>108591790I just handwrite my code before putting it into anything. Before I did that, I wrote it down in Microsoft Word and sometimes Overleaf.
>>108596238Shalom.
>>108596240GOOD AFTERNOON, SAAR!
>>108591790pwsh > shedit > nanovim is just vim, it's good.
>>108596252Thank you for confirming. I wish all Jews were as refreshingly honest as you.
far2l
>>108591790I use it every day now because they made Notepad bloated to the point of being unuseable
>>108592901I prefer the fork, boku no pico
>>108591790must be nice until first update you're sentenced to suffer which deletes all your data, breaks 3 random things that worked for 30 years no problem, after 2 months of patches you're back to where you were week before update (minus your entire drive content - woopsie) but yeah - what a win. go get em tiger...
>>108594261There's Joe's Own Editor for wordstar-like keybinds.
>>108592789and your plan for adding or fixing something in a remote shell config is what exactly?
>>108598052you have windows derangement syndrome
>>108592198Why would you install rust to run a binary
>>108591800CheckedModal editing is pretty nice though.>>108592860That's because the author was based and didn't want to pull in a ridiculous amount of backdoored "crates".>>108592884Only in meme drivers so far.
>>108591790>editor>in 2026lol lmao even, I use claude broski
>>108591790Windows'FTFY
god I hate the new Windows terminal and they make it so hard to get the old one back
>>108591790>Have you tried Windows' new terminal editor?Nope, and I doubt I will.>It's way better than nano.ANother doubt, we're on a roll.
>>108591790is this a modernized version of edit.com? i miss using that
>>108602112>they make it so hard to get the old one backlol
>>108591790Nano was never designed with full TUI in mind, it's just the last resort built-in tool when you have to use it.
>>108592489>If you ever actually took a peek at any GNU code you'd see how absolutely dogshit it is compared to stuff like [...] the Linux kernelThe Linux kernel is just as dogshit as GNUware, I'm afraid.
>>108595585Retarded cope on the same tier as "Java is bad because it's a jeet language".
>>108594851post intact foreskinoh wait, you can'tLMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>108592163hold on i need to sshfs mount my routers rootfs so i can edit one of the files with my local gui editor
For me, it's micro.
