Hello,
is it possible to start an GUI-Texteditor, such as "MeeTxtEdit", as root?
So that a can edit and save files in /usr/bin.
I tried it with "vi" in the terminal, but I am not good in recognizing shortcuts.
Maybe there is an other Editor with the Option: "start as root".
Please dont start a Discussion about the Power of Vi or Emacs, because I know they are very mighty.
But mighty Editors need responsible Users.
And I´m not such a User ;-)

Thanks in advance,
Roland

Theres option in N9QT to give root acces to few text editors.

Tweak:H,3

You can install opensudo, add NOPASSWD rule to executables you want, and then just clone shortcut with sudo prefix in Exec line.

everything can be googled, even N9QT and Tweak.
