Alternatively you could use my favorite approach, Visual Studio Code. Just open the file with it, edit it and upon saving you will be promoted if the file needs admin rights to save.

Okay but how can I show how good I am with shortcuts to edit legacy software ?

[-] Huschke@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Vscode does have a lot of shortcuts, so you could always study them in detail and impress others that way. ๐Ÿ˜…

Yup, s/vsc/kwrite/ personally, it's lighter, but why shouldn't I have a pretty for my config editing needs...

[-] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

I love vsc but it's not always available.

So for any supposedly malicious activity (infected) it wants to do, it just has to hold until you save and give admin access? ๐Ÿ˜…

[-] Huschke@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Yes, but if you want to argue along those lines, you could also have an infected version of vim on your system just waiting to do malicious stuff until you give it sudo access.

[-] doctorn@r.nf 0 points 10 months ago

Indeed... Hence why I use 'sudo nano'. ๐Ÿ˜œ

    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
