The Little Guy Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Linux comes with a built in text editor, just like Notpad comes with windows... My question is what is the name of that text editor? I can't seem to remember.

corbin Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Different distros come with different text editors best I remember. First one that comes to mind is gedit. Second one is vim ;p.

corbin Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I never said it wasn't like that? He said a text editor not a GUI or command line one ;p.

Daniel0 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Gedit doesn't come with Linux, it comes with Gnome. If you use KDE then you'll have Kate. If you use XFCE then you'll have, well... I don't know... Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/125706-linux-text-editor/#findComment-650269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
