Well, leafpad could be a solution for that...
So you wrote that you launch commands: debbie and debbie-sue. These are the files that maybe needed to be modified. To be able to modify them you most probably will need root access.
The easiest way to find these files if you search for them for example with the following command:
This will spit you the path to the files.

You can change rights of course (chown is enough I think) but for me it would require many modifications and I do not know exactly what other files it would want to write so for me root access is best on kali because it solves a lot of things for me but need extra caution. Quid pro quo...

Edit:// It is nice to see that on other languages then mine the "öööööööö" is a very valid expression...
