Microsoft releases Edit: an open source command-line text editor for Windows

stapp · May 20, 2025

Microsoft has announced a new text editor for Windows, called Edit. But it's not like Notepad, Edit is a command-line text editor.
The app was unveiled at the Microsoft Build conference, and while it may appear as it has been designed for developers, it remains accessible for users who are unfamiliar with terminals. The interface looks modern, with controls similar to those in Visual Studio Code. Microsoft says it was motivated to bring a CLI text editor in 64-bit versions of Windows, as an alternative to MS-DOS, which was included in 32-bit versions of its operating system.
