Feature request: interactive editor

[treyharris]

Right now, awk and sed are provided, but there doesn't appear to be ann interactive editor. BusyBox provides vi and ed, and ex is another very small interactive editor (ed and/or ex might be easier to implement since they are line-oriented rather than full-screen visual).

I think the intended workflow for now is to use the open command to open files in-place in iVim

[bradleyjones]

It would be nice if we could provide some user defined aliases so rather than ‘open filename’ & click on iVim, we could just do ‘vim filename’. That may make it slightly friendlier.

although I remember it working correctly using the „open in vim“, currently changes in vim are no longer reflected in the file in blink (TF v12.3.70) Hence I would like to support this feature request for native vim support in blink. :)

ed will be in next release. https://youtu.be/0lkLCyzPKnQ

Great :beer:

I’m splitting hairs here, but why not ex? Is it related to Ed, man! !man ed ?
