Category:Text Editor

Text editors are available for the command line as well as graphical programs for the desktop environment. On the command line, three lines of text editors are well-known:

• GNU nano
• GNU emacs
• vi, which has evolved through vim, neovim with its various distributions, and now also Kakoune and Helix. The latter two have partially reversed the keybindings.

These factors, along with the different programming languages for configuration, varying default settings, and plugin ecosystems, make the choice of a text editor more significant and long-lasting than it might initially appear.
