You mean like vim does?
No, like joe does. Vim doesn't.
Given the right options, vim also creates a backup. See the "backup" and "writebackup" options. Afaict, the default is to write the backup, and delete it when you leave vim.
Well, joe creates a backup and leaves it there.
You can make vim do that too. It's up to you.
he can also set joe to "-nobackup" but there is no one-fix-for-everything.
Not on the "EDITOR=..." enviroment variable, AFAIK.
but he can utilize joe's syntax file to make specific actions for particular file-types. if he cares.
Of course I care, but that would affect other uses of joe, not only systemd use of it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
