Editor porting request
 

I was wondering if some coder would be so nice and willing to port the popular 'nano' editor for the N900, as I am not very familiar with VIM, would be very handy be able to use nano in the terminal to edit stuff.

Re: Editor porting request
 

Nano is available in Fremantle tools repository http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...5#Installation

Re: Editor porting request
 

it is already in repository :
http://repository.maemo.org/
fremantle/tools
free non-free

good luck!

I'd like to see the old Scite ports updated for Maemo 5.

Please note that installing the Tools repo on-device is generally not advised, although I haven't personally had issues. You probably should disable it after installing nano.

I installed the tools repo so I could install traceroute, I didn't have any problems although it told me that the traceroute package was non-authorized or something like that. Of course I disabled it when I was done.

Re: Editor porting request
 

Scite can be quickly installed if you have easy debian. Works well.

Re: Editor porting request
 

Ah good idea. I'd prefer to run it natively but this can work for now.

Hey, what about "joe" http://joe-editor.sourceforge.net/ :)

I miss him :-)

go through the vim tutorial, steep curve my friend but the best; do your self a favour too when learning disable the arrow keys in your vimrc

Nope, don't like it, tried it but nogo. I am using joe for over 9 years ;-)

Kate on KDE, joe (and when joe is not enough: sed, python) in the terminal.
