What options do I have for editing text?
- Nano and the powerful Vi (see below) should already be available through the Terminal activity
- 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.
- Software_projects#Write_.28Collaborative_Word_Processor.29
- Question - how is Write different from AbiWord?
- AbiWord
Vi editor
- use the built-in Vi editor as follows (type commands without the quotes):
- Start the Terminal_Activity (this gives you a line like "[olpc@...]$ )
- Click in the window
- Type "su" and Enter for super user mode
- Invoke the Vi(M) editor: "vi" and Enter
- (You might find the Vi cheatsheet at: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/vimcheat.html to be of use)
