sensible-editor

$ sensible-editor +10 ${filename}

try on your machine

This command is using the "sensible-editor" utility in Linux to open a file for editing.

"sensible-editor" is a program that determines the preferred or default editor to use based on the system configuration and user preferences. It ensures that the selected editor is always available and launches it accordingly.
"+10" represents an option to open the file at line number 10. This means that when the editor is launched, it will position the cursor at line 10 within the file.
"${filename}" is a placeholder for the actual filename or path of the file to be edited. It is a variable that needs to be replaced with the specific file you want to open. For example, if the file is called "example.txt", the command would be: sensible-editor +10 example.txt

By combining these elements, the command opens the specified file in the default editor at line number 10.
