Sometimes I type or paste a lot of text on the command line and there is a small error right in the middle. Sometimes I’ve run a command but I need to run it again but replace a word multiple times. There are a number of ways to quickly solve this issue, but since I’m handy with vim I choose to edit the command in vim and execute it.
Tools:
- 1 ea unix
1From the unix command line hit ctrl + x, e
ctrl + x, e
While holding the control key, hit ‘x’ and then ‘e’. This will bring up the current command in your default text editor.
Note:
Keep the ctrl key pressed while you press and release ‘x’ and ‘e’.
