🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so msedit is a simple text editor, and it's inspired by MS-DOS edit. literally that's the origin story. iconic behavior. 👑

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

  • FILE[:LINE[:COLUMN]] — the file you wanna open, and optionally you can tack on a line and a column so it drops you exactly there. like, for example, foo.txt:123:45. very precise. very main character. ⭐
