Emacs can be installed on any server (and can be used to edit files on any server, from a client …), and it has smooth fonts and scrolling (if you like that; I turn off the scrollbar). And of course it excels at mouseless editing, navigation & automation.

- hellofunk 10y agoI use emacs with vim emulation (evil mode) and am addicted to it, partly because I can bind vim's leader key with emacs lisp functions that can be quite complex, to do great things with a single key press while editing.
- chme 10y agoEmacs needs to be installed. Vi is already installed most of the time. Especially on embedded devices there is often no real competition to vi.
- eyko 10y agoThe question is how much time you spend editing files on embedded devices versus how much time you spend editing files on your main development machine.
- seletskiy 10y agoYou can always setup automatic process of synchronization of files that you need to edit, so editing process will be most efficient.
- andreareina 10y agoIf you have ssh access to the remote machine (goes with most methods of automatic synchronization) then you can use TRAMP mode to directly edit the remote copy.
- chme 10y agoI test different configurations on the target before syncing the right one into my build environment. If I mounted the RootFS via NFS then its possible to use ${EDITOR}, but thats not always the case.
- wtbob 10y ago> Vi is already installed most of the time. 60% of the time, it works every time, eh? :-) I use vi too, but less now than I used too. It's definitely a powerful little editor.
- pjmlp 10y agoInteresting is logging into UNIX servers like HP-UX and friends and getting the real VI, not the improved ones.
