So, of course, I'm going to recommend an editor - vim, in its view form, which makes it readonly (same as vim -R) It has a plugin for markdown, and will highlight keywords. Perhaps you don't like modal editors. The movement keys all work, and gg takes you to the top and G takes you to the bottom. Just like less, / is the search character. When you are done, enter :q! , and you will exit with any changes discarded. If you get in trouble, just hit ESC several times to get back to command mode, and the u [ndo] several times to undo any inadvertent changes. This should not happen with view, though. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
