I just felt that many people may get lost in it when first using it, the same way ppl get lost in vim. At least I managed to get lost in both of them when I first tried them.
Ohh, I know, I was just making a joke cuz ed will print ? when it doesn’t recognize a command and many people will see that over and over if they can’t figure out how to exit lol
I also got lost in vi and ed when I first used them lol
Tbh if I’m just making quick edits to config files or whatever I use nano lmao
I am unfortunately so used to vim and its bindings that I suffer whenever I can’t use it. It can be really tricky to do certain operations in other editors.
Ed is the standard text editor.
Simple and gets the job done.
How do you exit it though??
