Replace "vi" with Fullscreen Text Editor "joe" or "nano"

If you find "vi" to be frustrating to use, there are solutions for you.

Prerequisites:
1) A rooted Pre

2) Installed backdoor with sudo

3) Dropbear/OpenSSH installed

4) Connect & Log Into the Pre

Once that is complete, you may now install a new Fullscreen Text Editor.

= Method 1: Install "joe"=

Make sure ipkg-opt is up to date
user@castle:~$ sudo ipkg-opt update

Install Joe from ipkg-opt
user@castle:~$ sudo ipkg-opt install joe

Verify /opt/bin is in your path
user@castle:~$ echo $PATH

//If /opt/bin is not in your path, complete prerequisite #2 and echo $PATH again.//
 * 1) If /opt/bin is listed in the path, then you have correctly fulfilled prerequisite #2.
 * 2) $PATH should look like: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin

Command line syntax is pretty easy
//To edit a specific file:// joe /path/to/existingfile.ext //To create a new file:// joe /path/to/newfile.ext //To create a new file but you don't know what to call it yet:// joe

Inside Joe
Using the same key sequence strategy from above:

Ctrl+K, H		Opens/Closes the Help Menu Ctrl+K, X		Exit and Save the file Ctrl+C		Abort edit, don't save

Everything else you could need is on the Help Menu.

= Method 2: Install "nano"=

Make sure ipkg-opt is up to date
user@castle:~$ sudo ipkg-opt update

Install nano from ipkg-opt
user@castle:~$ sudo ipkg-opt install nano

Verify /opt/bin is in your path
user@castle:~$ echo $PATH

//If /opt/bin is not in your path, complete prerequisite #2 and echo $PATH again.//
 * 1) If /opt/bin is listed in the path, then you have correctly fulfilled prerequisite #2.
 * 2) $PATH should look like: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin

Command line syntax is pretty easy
//To edit a specific file:// nano /path/to/existingfile.ext //To create a new file:// nano /path/to/newfile.ext //To create a new file but you don't know what to call it yet:// nano

Inside nano
Ctrl+G		Opens the Help Menu Ctrl+X		Close a Menu or Exit (you will be prompted to save a modified file or quit)

Everything else you could need is on the Help Menu.
