At the shell prompt type Ctrl-X Ctrl-E to edit in your $EDITOR
- yunohn 5y agoThat’s already more effort than not needing to do anything, because the terminal isn’t a weirdo text input relative to my IDE/editor.
- eddieh 5y agoI agree. That’s why I mostly use Eshell in Emacs, but if for some reason I’m in a stand-alone terminal emulator and need some advanced editing capabilities ^X ^E saves the day by firing up Emacs on the current input.
