The only presence of LLM slop in ed(1) would happen if you used ! to shell out for such functionality.

@futzle @rubenerd A small but curmudgeonly old bunch of us still strive for POSIX scripts.

Thought I'd take Nvidia's new DLSS 5 for a spin to see how it improves text-editing. I'm not thinking it's quite what I wanted.

Still not much easier to press escape, meta, alt, or control.

On the other hand, ed(1) works quite cromulently on a phone with a default on-screen keyboard.

See, it didn't give you "up" or "down" but rather "[[A" and "[[B"

 

@tux0r

give you UP
and will never let you DOWN

today is that day where I'm supposed to remind you to beware the IDEs of March, right?

Don't let your $EDITOR stab you in the back.
