       @tusharhero Another option is to use an external clipboard such as the X clipboard or tmux buffer:$ ed file1.txt  3141/Start/;/End/ w !xsel -ib  e file2.txt  1415  15 r !xsel -obor$ ed file1.txt3141/Start/;/End/w !tmux loadb -  e file2.txt  1415  15 r !tmux showb

       @tusharhero Testing here too, it does seem that GNU ed doesn't preserve the yank-buffer contents across e commands.  All the more reason not to rely on GNU-specific functionality :flan_wink:

       @tusharhero From Antonio (the maintainer) when I reported it to the bugs mailing list:"The cut/copy/yank buffer was not designed to copy lines between files. The buffer is a linked list of line pointers to lines in the current buffer, and is deallocated when a new file is loaded.I'll document in the manual that the cut buffer is deleted before a new file is read."

       @aartaka ed1conf has always been virtual, so no papers/recordings/slides/presentations beyond tweet/toot-length posts and links to external blogs/articles

       @nixCraft Here's a nickel, kid. Get yourself a better development environment.

       @nixCraft If your IDE isn't shell job-control running ed(1) over a serial dial-up line into a BSD prod box with uptime measured in years, are you even programming?

       @dplattsf But you know which $EDITOR doesn't require an Escape key?:flan_guns:

       @dplattsf (okay, fine...you should also be able to use control+[ if needed, or possibly edit your ~/.vimrc/~/.exrc file to map some other key-sequence to perform an Escape)

       @dplattsf If you don't use the function keys, the F1 key happens to be pretty close to the Escape key, making it a viable option for remapping without too much finger redirection.

       @RussSharek the logo for ed(1) is "ed(1)" rendered in whatever typeface your nearest line-printer uses.:flan_guns:

       @rozenglass This is going to involve a catastrophic attempt at hand-drawing an ampersand, isn't it?:flan_despair: @RussSharek

       @oclsc it may have origins in an octal world, but fortunately the world evolved beyond that horrible representation pretty quickly:flan_wink:

       Some delightful notes from @thalia on recent #unix V4 adventures including using ed(1)https://github.com/thaliaarchi/unix-v4-demo/blob/main/README.md

       @misterdave To be fair, ed(1) will show you the text in your file...you just have to tell it that's what you want (and optionally which part of the text you want to see and how you want to see it -- plain, numbered, unambiguous, or run through a filter).@gsuberland
