Microsoft recently introduced and open-sourced a command-line text editor named Edit, which is available for download via GitHub. Now, the company is preparing to include Edit as a pre-installed application in Windows 11.
Edit is a command-line-based text editor tailored for developers and power users who prefer working within the command-line interface. However, it is not a standalone application; it must be invoked from within Windows CMD or PowerShell.
Once integrated into Windows 11, users will be able to launch Edit simply by typing the command edit in either CMD or PowerShell. From there, they can create or modify documents, offering a user experience comparable to editing files with Notepad.
Naturally, the editor supports more than just .txt files. It can also open and modify other plain-text formats such as .log and .ini. Additional features include find and replace, word wrap, and line navigation, making it a practical tool for general text manipulation.
At present, Edit lacks syntax highlighting—a feature many might expect in a modern editor. Given that its primary purpose is plain text editing, the absence of syntax highlighting is understandable. However, since users may also use Edit to modify files such as HTML or PHP, this omission can be a limitation.
To address this, some developers have already forked Edit and implemented syntax highlighting. Those interested may explore one such project here.
