Never been to CodeSnippets before?

Snippets is a public source code repository. Easily build up your personal collection of code snippets, categorize them with tags / keywords, and share them with the world (or not, you can keep them private!)

Edit multiple lines on the command line (See related posts)

export EDITOR=nano
[ctrl-x-e]   # press ctrl-x-e keys


help fc
open /usr/share/doc/bash/builtins.pdf

export FCEDIT=vim
fc     # edit last command in $FCEDIT or $EDITOR
fc -l 3 5  
fc 4     # edit command no. 4
fc -2
fc "cd "     # edit last cd command

fc -e nano     # edit last command in nano
fc -e nano "cd "
fc -e nano 4    


Further command line editing tools:

- rlwrap - readline wrapper
- rlfe: A readline front-end processor
