Interesting thoughts. But it would never have been a problem in the
first place if there was communication between the people who write the
software and the people build the distribution.

Do not know if I like emacs but it seems to stick forever.
Emacs is a "heavyweight" editor. It pulls in so many
language support libraries that it takes a long time to
load. It used to take a whole minute on my CNC computer a
long time ago. That one was very short on memory, but was
good enough for the old EMC2. Much better now, but still a
few seconds delay to start.
Doesn't appear on the LiveCD as far as I can see. vi is there...
This isn't about editors. This is about changes we can make in the
LinuxCNC sample configs _only_ to make the user experience a bit
better.
I think it IS about editors, making sure the experience of using it
impresses the user that this IS a professional cnc even if its free.
And clicking "Edit G-code" and having nothing happen is not good.
Agree 100%.
Hmm, maybe during install the script could look for what
editors are actually installed and select one of them to be
used by the Edit button.

Thats a great idea, Jon.
And making the script smart enough to know the difference between a good
editor and a potential disaster is an exercise for the script author.
Yes, exactly. Put the most favored ones first in the search, and check
for the ones that just sort of work only if the good ones are NOT
installed.
