Editors in QNX 6

When Photon is not running, the only editors available in QNX 6 are qed and
elvis (vi). There is nothing similar to vedit.
Is it correct?
If no, what are the other QNX 6 non-Photon editors?
Thank you,
Yuriy

AFAIK that’s true: vedit is not available for QNX6 :frowning:

W/o Photon I use Midnight Commander… it has pretty good editor with syntax highlights.

We use vim with a set of keydefs that make it quite similar to vedit (F2,
F3, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9 etc)

Try the jed-editor from the third-party cd. Except mouse-support where is
almost everything you need(including syntax highlighting).

imho, jed is the best one. it emulates emacs, which
is the only right editor :wink:

if you use jed, you can be sure your skills won’t
fade into oblivion since emacs isn’t going to die
and it’s available on any unix
