Other Editors

There are many other editors besides vim and emacs, and most involve installing on your own computer and transferring the files back and forth to the myth server. This page lists a few of them and where you can get them.

1. nano : nano is another editor on the myth machines. It is very simple to use, but does not have many advanced functions. You are welcome to use it, but you would be better in the long run to spend time learning vim or emacs.
2. Sublime Text : Sublime Text is an excellent editor that you install on your own machine, and then set up automatic transfer of files to and from the myth server. It is not free (it is $70, but many students find it worthwhile).
3. Atom : Another excellent free editor that you install on your own computer.
4. Notepad++ : This is a Windows-only free editor. There is a plugin that allows you to transfer files using the FTP protocol.
