What do you use? I use vim. I know, a modal editor? Yeah, it has a learning curve, but once I got used to it, it is just so efficient. And even though I know I only use part of its capability, I don't regret biting the bullet. Most people hate the ESC thing to switch modes, but I mapped unlikely two character sequences to do the same thing, so I rarely need to hit escape. Some people go so far as to buy a foot switch to switch modes, so they become extremely efficient on the keyboard. Usually, when I'm looking at such large text files they are output, and so I just use a pager like less to look at them since I'm reading them, not changing them As further information, when I used gedit on a 77 MB file, it was ready with minimal delay (10 seconds?). I wonder if someone made an assumption about file size when allocating buffers, and used a less efficient method (temp file) when above a certain size. That would really slow things down. Haven't checked though. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
