Freedom of religion is a fundamental human right. Evangelization should not be punished. I protest (:
Vim has long since won the war. I say that as an emacs user who is familiar with using vim because it’s installed by default on the vast majority of computers I interact with nowadays
Awesome. And now…
- Step 2: Tabs or spaces.
a tab is four spaces… press tab all you want…
Vertical or horizontal tabs?
LOL, I prefer nano.
You’re in luck, it’s a designated neutral editor
Hello, EU police?
You pervert!
My boy nano getting a drive by. He always there for me when I need to quickly edit a conf file

nanoalready.Let’s make
microthe standard!!Nah,
ededis, in fact, in the POSIX standard.https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/
Shell & Utilities -> Utilities -> ed
In fact, it looks like
exandsed, both child editors ofed, are baked into the standard. Nopico-family editors.
Nice, an analognowhere I missed!
Why should micro be the standard over nano?
Because
nanohas unacceptable key combos, and no support for mouse.microhas sensible key combos, good syntax highlighting and supports mouse perfectly fine.
make the standard
code-insidersbut in vim mode
European Commision’s laptops run on Windows 11 and then they need to pay for AWS to do any kind of meanigful work… And then some devs still pick Windows to run on AWS anyway!
This “neutrality” is like giving equal voice to doctors and tobacco companies. They need to take the initiative for public health and declare the correct, ergonomic editor as international standard.
Which is clearly…
The pen
Yes, but only if it’s the editor I use /s
to summarize the conclusions thus far, as is my secretary duty
amendments to the protocol of this EU directive are as follows in the first line of
stallingsamendments:TECO is to be legacy alternative to EMACS and all personell are to be provided paid leave for educational purposes.
ED is to be legacy alternative to VIM and all personell are to be provided paid leave for educational purposes.
up for further discussion: are ideologically united editors such as VILE (VI Like Emacs) middleground or offensive to both parties? is it right of marginalized editors to invoke a non-mono
polyculture clause: “will SAM or VIS be up for consideration?” asks [name redacted under GDPR]just run a logon script to alias both vim and emacs and nano for all your users.
Ed is the standard and only option.
EDITOR=shredtoo if you’re brave or having a rough day.Remember to put
#!/bin/rmat the top of every file, to teach people not to execute files they shouldn’t.
Ed is kinda-sorta great-granddaddy vim.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_(software)
ed (pronounced as distinct letters, /ˌiːˈdiː/)[1] is a line editor for Unix and Unix-like operating systems. It was one of the first parts of the Unix operating system that was developed, in August 1969.
Dennis M. Ritchie produced what Doug McIlroy later described as the “definitive” ed,[5] and aspects of ed went on to influence ex, which in turn spawned vi.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi_(text_editor)
Vim (“Vi IMproved”) has many additional features compared to vi, including (scriptable) syntax highlighting, mouse support, graphical versions, visual mode, many new editing commands and a large amount of extension in the area of ex commands.
I’ve never used qed, but it sounds like that might be considered even one step back:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_(software)
Many features of ed came from the qed text editor developed at Thompson’s alma mater University of California, Berkeley.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QED_(text_editor)
Initial release: 1967
I guess TECO — which I also have not used — would kinda-sorta be the emacs analog:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TECO_(text_editor)
TECO (/ˈtiːkoʊ/[1]), short for Text Editor & Corrector, [2] [3][4] is both a character-oriented text editor and a programming language,[5][6] that was developed in 1962 for use on Digital Equipment Corporation computers, and has since become available on PCs and Unix. Dan Murphy developed TECO while a student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
It was subsequently modified by many other people[7] and is a direct ancestor of Emacs, which was originally implemented in TECO macros.
EDIT: Actually…hmm. Now that I think of it, I might have briefly used TECO on a DEC VAX/VMS cluster. IIRC, I mostly used EVE, though.
EDIT2: Hmm. Apparently someone has ported TECO to Linux:
TECO, that grand old text editor your father used when he was young, is still available! It is powerful and compact precursor to EMACS and has a completely nongraphical user interface. This is based on Pete Siemsen’s TECOC implementation, and comes with a copy of the original DECUS TECO documentation.
Do I need a paper tape punch and reader to use TECO?
No. Modern TECOs will also edit text files.
Is TECO fast?
Yes, it’s probably the fastest editor available
While I’m maintaining the files as I had worked on them and downloads here, Blake McBride has taken the source code, added the video/scope mode, fixed bugs and improved the speed (not that it is slow!), documented the changes and has it available in GitHub. Go here for his work https://github.com/blakemcbride/TECOC
tries building it
Hah. It takes under a third of a second to compile on my system:
$ git clone https://github.com/blakemcbride/TECOC.git $ cd TECOC/src $ time make -j32 -f makefile.linux >/dev/null 2>&1 real 0m0.296s user 0m2.341s sys 0m0.874s $Hmm. Yeah, I don’t remember how to use this at all, if I did use it. Looks like the command syntax is a little like ed’s, but you whack Escape twice to execute commands. Each press of Escape displays a dollar sign.

$ ./tecoc *Ihello, world!$$ *EWtest.txt$$ *EX$$ $ cat test.txt; echo hello, world! $Clearly does work, though.
Vim is bloatware atop Ed making it insanely memory hungry and nearly unusable.
(Send from an IBM PC with 256k memory running LFS)
TECO is clearly the correct choice
Defaulting to nano without explicit user consent will be considered a class c user experience violation
One step forward, two steps back. I always hate how politicians can be so accommodating of the popular minority while still being so discriminatory against the less popular ones.
Isnt that the woman who bent down to Trump to fuck over Europe?
Depends on how you look at it. The deal she made is never going to get ratified by the EU member states, but placated Trump enough to lower his stupid tariffs to acceptable levels. I think she 100% knew the deal she agreed with him was never going in effect and she just wanted to buy time, which so far has worked.
It makes a lot of sense to buy time for a variety of reasons. She took a hit to her image with this “deal” but she effectively accomplished all the goals she had going into those discussions. But from afar it looks like she was played.
Yeah maybe that is how it went down. I like your version of events and would like to believe that is what happened actually.
Notepad++
All offices within the EU administration will be supplied with the officially modified flavors of eumacs and neuvim.
oh my gosh yesplease
I use helix, BTW. It’s like vim (but backwards) and it’s written in rust.
It’s like neovim if you had amnesia and forgot all the time spent installing plugins and getting your configs just right.
main selling point being that it’s purple
