Text Editors

There are three text editors that you can use on the HPC nodes.

  • nano – This is a simple editor for beginners.
  • vim – This takes a little bit of practice to get used to but is quicker to edit stuff than nano and has far more features.
  • emacs – Like vim, takes a bit of practice. Just as feature rich as vim but just different.

Personally I’m a vim user. If you need some help just drop me an email

For some links to help using the Vim editor see the section Getting Started / Training
