Agreed. This problem exists because someone wrote a tool that should only do one (really well) and but instead made it do five different things.

- ethbr0 6y agoThat sound in the background is emacs laughing.
- eurasiantiger 6y agoYou can press ctrl-super-meta-¥ to make it stop.
- digitaltrees 6y agoUnderrated.
- tsimionescu 6y agoI don't think it will accept the command if it knows you learned it as anything other than C-S-M-¥.
- azinman2 6y agoAccording to you. I appreciate that TextEdit is a rich editor. I can use vim or countless other apps for plain text. Few do what TextEdit does with its simplicity.
- movedx 6y agoAye. According to me. I have a preference for tools doing one thing, and one thing well. That attitude has served me very well. Your opinion is that you like TextEdit for what it is. Neither opinion/feeling is relevant.
- fouric 6y agoNeither is the opinion that "This problem exists because someone wrote a tool that should only do one (really well) and but instead made it do five different things." You can make security bugs in simple tools - this security bug is not purely a function of the number of target use-cases. Nor do you have any rational basis for asserting that the given app "should only do one [thing]".
- marcosdumay 6y agoSo, keeping the GP rationale, do you see any gain from TextEdit opening txt files?
