sensible-editor: Open a file in the default editor.
$ sensible-editor ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "sensible-editor ${filename}" allows the user to open a text file with a sensible default editor.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "sensible-editor": This is a program or script that determines the appropriate default editor to use for opening files. It takes into consideration the user's preferences and the system's configuration.
  • "${filename}": This is a placeholder for the actual filename or path of the file you want to open. When executing the command, you need to replace "${filename}" with the desired file's name or location.

When you run this command, the sensible-editor program will determine the ideal editor to use according to the system settings and the user's configuration. It will then open the specified file in the chosen editor.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
