What is Edit?
A simple editor for basic needs.
This editor pays homage to the classic MS-DOS editor but features a modern interface and input controls similar to Visual Studio Code.
Edit on Windows is Microsoft's open-source project that enables developers to edit files directly in the command line, much like Vim, without switching to other applications or windows. Edit is compact and lightweight, with a size of less than 250KB. All menu options in Edit have key bindings, and you can use the Ctrl + P shortcut to open multiple files and switch between them.
