Just use ed. Ctrl+C. Easy.

bash: ed: command not found WHERE GOD NOW?

What sins have you committed on your system to remove ed?

fastfetch | grep ackage Packages: 2530 (dpkg), 21 (flatpak) me no remove package. me start with vanilla debian install. no need gui until me choose to install gui.

Please file a bug with the Debian maintainers. How are people supposed to edit files without the standard editor?

with nano? /uj maybe it was an option during the install, IDK, I don’t want to bother the folks with a suspicion and a shitty memory, nor do I want to reinstall deb somewhere esle

I was joking, definitely don’t write them to install an editor that’s obsolete. sed and grep (both inspired by ed) to do most of what ed does in a modern way, and ed was only useful over teletype when it was slow/expensive to render a scrollable field. All modern TTYs support scroll regions, and with sed it just doesn’t make sense to use ed anymore. ed as the standard editor is mostly a meme based on this page wiki.c2.com/?EdIsTheStandardTextEditor
