TextEditor

What options do I have for editing text?

Use the Write activity. This uses libabiword, but has a much simpler UI.

There are some text-mode editors that you can run from the command line in the Terminal Activity:

• Nano
• the powerful Vi
  • 'vi' is actually vim (vi iMproved)
  • You might find the Vi cheatsheet at: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/vimcheat.html to be of use
• Emacs is a high-powered, flexible editor
• Install MicroEMACS by copying this file to the laptop.
• Zile is a lightweight Emacs clone. Install this rpm file to get it.
