I am impressed

Though I'm a die-hard Vim user, I must say that jed impressed me greatly. It's fast, has nice syntax highlighting, common key-binding (emacs-like, Wordstar-like or EDT like). Try it guys. You probably won't switch, but you'll probably find it very interesting.

Finally! Someone else who appreciates jed. The only thing that sucks is that it's really a front end for emacs, so you have to have that installed for it to work. However, it's quite a powerful editor and has a lot of nice features.

For better or for worse that was the first real editor I learned in Linux. PICO doesn't count. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

Rectangular edits rock! And while I think VI does this as well, it's still a great feature. Especially when you're editing a large zone file and want to comment out a whole bunch of lines at once.

You don't need emacs. apt-get install jed installed jed and jed-common. I don't have emacs on my computer
