About:
Ledit is a line-oriented text editor designed for interactive command-line sessions. It allows users to edit command lines in a full-screen buffer, supporting basic cursor movement and text manipulation. Its primary value is improving the usability of command shells that lack advanced line editing capabilities.
Key Features:
  • Full-screen line editing
  • Command history management
  • Cursor movement and text modification
  • Lightweight and simple interface
Use Cases:
  • Enhancing command line input in shells with limited editing
  • Editing long or complex commands without retyping
  • Interactive text manipulation in terminal environments
Alternatives:
  • readline – Standard library providing line editing, often integrated directly into shells
  • vim – Full-featured screen editor for complex file editing, heavier than ledit
