[ViX_Misc] How do Mac/OSX users edit their config and list files?

[Montay]

On windows I used to edit my config and list files with a program called Notepad++ because it respected breaks in text and lines. I can't find a similar program to work with my macbook and osx.

How do Apple users edit their config and list files? Please don't say command line as I don't want to do that.

Apple Mac has a default one I use. When I use filezilla, and edit it, it works just fine.

The program is called TextEdit on a mac.

I've found that Text Wrangler and Sublime Text are good also.

I just edit the files directly using the terminal command

 ssh root@ip_of_STB

Then I installed nano on my STB as the default editor VIM is good but harder to explain how to use

opkg install nano

then edit the files using

 nano /etc/file-I-want-to-edit

once finished just press [CTRL] + [X] and then type exit to log off the SSH session, I know it seems more work, but i find it quicker

Aha, just read "Please don't say command line as I don't want to do that." so ignore this post

Never learned how to do that stuff and don't have time now, prefer gui
