+## Text editors
+
+- Can be as plain and simple and as high tech as you want
+- _Some_ sane first time recommendations
+
+### GUI
+
+- **Sublime Text** - `subl <filename>` or `subl <directoryname` from the terminal will open the file up. However, use the GUI to do everything from open/creating the file if you want to.
+- **VSCode** - `code <filename>` or `code <directoryname` from the terminal will get you in VScode
+- **Gedit** (Gnome Edit on Linux, comes by default on flagship Ubuntu). Install `sudo apt install gedit`. Open a file, `gedit <filename>`. If that doesnt work, as the `gedit` command is not found, try to use `gnome-text-editor <filename>` or the shorter version `gted <filename`.
+
+### Terminal
+
+- **nano** - GNU Nano. https://nano-editor.org/ or the actual way, look at the man pages! `man nano`. To open a file using nano _(yes you see a pattern from the above now)_ `nano <filename>`
+- **micro** - https://micro-editor.github.io/ _"a modern and intuitive terminal-based text editor"_. Another very easy to use and modern terminal friendly with scrolling, copy pasting and more capabilities! My go to! To use it, `micro <filename>`
+- **vim** - For beginners, it may have a steep learning curve. All you really need to know if you "accidentally" open vim or get into vim as a part of some other process as the default text editor, `[Esc] :wq` will quit out from vim while saving changes. `[Esc] :q!` to exit without saving changes. Now vim is a  very powerful text editor, I am not throwing a ny shade or saying its bad. As a total beginner, you *might* not even be able to exit if you are dropped into vim without absolutely knowing anything. Heres another small cheatsheet :) https://gist.github.com/w3cj/16bd4c9514a5522298f8
+- If you now really want to go into Vim and use it for absolutely everything, go for it at your own pace! `vimtutor` and the internet, will be your friend.

+## Keyboard shortcuts while editing, Get Around FASTER
+
+> MacOS keyboard shortcuts were taken from https://gist.github.com/w3cj/022081eda22081b82c52
+
+These keyboard shortcuts will work in most, if not all text editing places in macOS. (Form input, text editors, web browsers etc.)
+These keyboard shortcuts will also work on Windows (replace CMD with CTRL).
