Why wouldn't it? I use enw:
$ cat > ~/bin/enw <<EOF
#!/bin/bash
exec emacs -q -nw "$@"
EOF
$ chmod 755 ~/bin/enw
$ export EDITOR=enw
$ export VISUAL=enw
alias e='emacs -q -nw' # works too.
for quick edits. And when I say quick, I mean quick: almost 1/4 the
boot time of vim:
[pjb@kuiper :0.0 ~]$ time echo :q |vim
real 0m2.027s
user 0m0.016s
sys 0m0.008s
[pjb@kuiper :0.0 ~]$ time emacs -q -nw -e 'kill-emacs'
real 0m0.573s
user 0m0.528s
sys 0m0.040s
> Any suggestions?
Use emacs, always emacs.
