Edit is ported to win11 and edit(.exe) should work in your shell of choice.

But... did they add a http server in it? Mail reader?

That explains why it's so nice. Well, not really, but it does hint at it being new and built by someone who gives a damn. It's honestly far nicer for my use than vi or nano, which is annoying since I'm on Linux.

Edit: Fedora has it available as "msedit". What a time to be alive.

no, and the person at Microsoft that wrote it is adamant about keeping it as an editor only.

Management: add "AI" or we'll fire you and give the project to one who will.
