Just catching up on this.. but Nano can do pretty much all of that. Most of them with a CTRL key combination. Example CTRL K to cut an entire line. CTRL U to paste. CTRL W find a word. You can open a document to specific line <nano +110 filename>. Find and replace CTRL \ type in what you want and then A to replace all instances. 'ALT-6' to copy a line (copy as many lines as you like, and they will be pasted in the order you copied them. 'CTRL-U' to paste the lines. Syntax highlighting you can do it as well with a little setup. It is weak though.
Its just as powerful for average editing. If you are a coder and like to do elaborate things then VI is your choice. But why you'd code in VI is beyond me. Those days are past... Also using webmin is fine for managing DNS on smaller deployments if you lock it down both in the firewall and ACL's. Anything more than a dozen zones and then you might want to look for something better. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Luthman" <j...@imaginenetworksllc.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Monday, May 25, 2015 12:08:25 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Web interfaces for BIND Replace all occurrences of a word in a config in one command Syntax highlighting Go directly to a line Go directly to line with phrase Bring up a line with one command Duplicate line(s) with one command Remove line(s) with one command Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Mon, May 25, 2015 at 11:42 AM, Mike Hammett <af...@ics-il.net> wrote: > I don't see any possible way that vi is better than nano.
