based editor and uh it's a very basic
3:23
editor. It is not having any kind of
3:24
syntax highlighting. So it's basically

used if you just want to create some
3:30
basic files, you can use this editor.
3:33
And if you just want to close file, you
3:35
can do that as well. And you can
3:38
basically open
3:41
command line at the same time as you are

the second tab you can actually execute
3:48
commands. So this will save you a lot of
3:50
time because you can create files
3:53
directly in the terminal as soon as you

3:58
some commands and in the second tab you
