Quicker GUI Editing with mousepad


Here is a small little app that I love to edit with, other than nano and gedit, it uses much less ram and opens instantaneously.

Install it Easily by doing:
apt-get install mousepad
or click on Applications->Add/Remove..-> then search for mousepad and check it to download & install.

Here is a little tip from my tutorial Less typing in the command line
root@ion:~# alias pad="mousepad"
root@ion:~# pad
^opens mousepad and you can just type "pad /etc/sysctl.conf" without the quotes of course :)

  1. Mousepad is installed in Xubuntu by default. It's a very good choice!
