In my faffing about with text editors, I ran into something kind of funny:

So, there's not a straightforward way to install vi (not vim) on termux. There is, however, a copy of ed in the base install.

And so I started poking at it. Amusingly, it turns out to be a surprisingly decent editor for the constraint that is grumpily poking at a piece of glass with my thumbs.

I'm sure @ed1conf will be delighted.

Great news! Current #EVi is NOT vulnerable to the tabpanel exploit! Turns out when we rebased back to 9.1.0, we dodged the exploit. Our fork doesn't have tabpanel, however, before we reverted we did have it. This had some users who ran our old master branch mistakenly thinking we were vulnerable when thankfully we aren't because they hadn't updated their repo clones.

We don't need AI to patch an RCE, we accidentally did it ourselves!

I'm still poking at #nvi and #vi, and learning interesting little details every day.

Today I learned about the `tildeop` setting, which modifies the tilde command to take an associated motion.

As a result, I no longer miss gU and gu from vim-land. :)

In #openbsd what is called #vi is actually #nvi, and when you install #nvi from ports, it is #nvi2.
To danes with our national characters æøå we need the latter because #vi prints two byte hex sequences for æ, ø, or å. #vi handles them correctly except for the printing of them.
#vi and #nvi use the same #man page.

Update:
On #netbsd #vi is also #nvi. Here you must install #nvi2 to get #nvi if you need æ, ø, and å support.

Best wishes from T. R. Dane (The Real Dane ;)

3 things i have learnt about nvi today:

a) There are _number_ buffers that hold the nth last yanked/deleted text (that included newlines): "3p pastes the 3rd most recent thing you deleted (this one applies to vi and is thanks to Learning the Vi Editor by Linda Lamb);
b) nvi faithfully implements a second u undoing the first u, therefore making a 2-cycle undo/redo loop; but, a . after a u undoes older and older edits! (thanks to a random blog post);
c) the :script sh ex command is like emacs subshell-buffers, except without the convenience of editing with emacs bindings. Surreal. (thanks to unearthing ancient pty calls in the source code)
