Editing Linux Basics Tutorial (section)

=== Text Editors ===

Command-line editors are useful for making quick edits to files without making any new windows.

* '''nano''': The most "modernized" common command-line editor. You can navigate through a file using the arrow keys, and type your changes just like you would in a notepad software. Also comes with a list of keyboard shortcuts that always shows up at the bottom (The ^ symbol means "ctrl+").

* '''vim''' (or '''vi'''): Useful for making complex changes in large files. Has a harder learning curve than nano, as it uses different "modes" with different keybindings.

* '''emacs''': Has keybinds optimized for quick navigation through files.
