As you have read my previous article about the "less" command, if you hit the letter "v" when using "less", the default system text editor will be activated to allow you to edit the current file.
In Ubuntu, Linux Mint or any other Linux distro that uses Gnome, if you close the terminal while some script or command is running within it, a window will appear to ask you to confirm the action:
I myself think this feature is redundant. In Linux Mint (MATE) to disable this confirmation window, you can hit Alt + F2 then type "mateconf-editor" to open the Configuration Editor window.
Unity-Launcher-Editor is a GUI designed to manage Unity Launcher items and quicklists.
as the title says, the menu editor is not saving the changes, as i create a new entry or modify/delete any existing one, the editor will show the changes, when i click save no error dialogs appear, but no changes will be made, if i close and open the editor again the changes dissapear.

Hi there:Howto change the default editor:Open a terminal and run this command: update-alternatives --config editor
If I make a change in the basic Exim configuration editor, then switch over to the advanced editor because I need to route mail for one or more domains differently, any changes made in the basic editor are lost. This results, sadly, in me having to go back through the basic editor and reset everything.
Is there an editor which has the option to "split the screen" into two or more parts, accessing more than one file (possibly with a file tree) without opening more editor windows at once, and how would one do this (what are the commands).
I don't know if I made myself clear, but "split screen" is the only way to describe what I want to achieve.
