For a newbie, what is the scariest part in a linux system? A lot of people hate linux 'cause "in a forum they made me open a DOS prompt to solve...".
The console is a powerful tool, but a lot of people doesn't like it.
Personally I prefer a lot of console applications, for the lighteness and the power of simple commands; sometimes is useful a quick edit in the console window of a configuration file, so I searched for a text editor that didn't change my mental keybinding. You know what I mean.
ctrl+c is for copy, ctrl+v is for paste, ctrl+x is for cut, ctrl+s is for saving, ctrl+q is for quit, ctrl+f is for search and ctrl+r is for replace.In my experience, they are the same in EditPlus, UltraEdit, Notepad++, eclipse, kwrite, gedit: graphical text editor.
So after using vi, emacs -nw and nano for those dirty jobs I found ne.
It's the text editor that I'm searching for, just a console tool with the gui guys keybindings.
But...
The only thing that didn't work is the backspace key in urxvt. It's a well known problem in linux terminal, explained here (from the author of ne, Sebastiano Vigna).
The quick fix is the
export TERM=gnome way, but I didn't like it, 'cause in some application it may cause mistake.So I written a trivial fix for this:
~/bin/ne.sh
#!/bin/sh
export TERM=gnome
/usr/bin/ne $1
export TERM=rxvt
and added to my .zshrc
alias='ne=~/bin/ne.sh'
Fix'd! :)

a) you are a whimp
RispondiEliminab) change the script to:
#!/bin/bash
TERM=gnome /usr/bin/ne $*
But.. but.. why bash? why loose the original TERM value after exiting from ne?
RispondiElimina$*: new thing learned :)
bash because it's the shell installed everywhere, the same script works in zsh too. and you don't loose the original value of TERM, that's the syntax for a local assignment.
RispondiEliminajust do:
RispondiEliminaalias ne="TERM=gnome ne"
;-)
just use emacs
