Text editors
To edit text (especially in HPC remote sessions), a GUI will not be always available. As a consequence software able to manage text efficiently directly on the terminal are necessary.
| Software name | Destination of use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| micro | Dictionary editing | Easy to use and common shortcuts |
| vim | Code editing | Tons extentions and good sintax highlighting |
Debian based systems can install those software via:
sudo apt install micro vim
Windows text editors
Here there is a list of useful programmes that are available for Windows system

If you are in a Windows environment, we suggest using NotePad++ as a default text editor.
A single modification must be apported since writing script in this environment can cause crashes due to a different treatment of invisible character for Windows or UNIX. Operate this mod to make the file readable without trouble in GNU-Linux:
NotePad++ → Edit → EOL conversion → UNIX
