The message editor choices available to all users in a fresh Synchronet install:
1. The built-in/internal line editor
2. Deuce's fseditor.js
3. Nightfox's slyedit.js (in ICEedit mode)
4. Nightfox's slyedit.js (in DCTedit mode)

FSEditor seems to be what you use if you do not make any changes at all to a new installation, unless some of those get chosen based on terminal capabilities. That is good info to have and I appreciate you passing it along.

I will have to give Nightfox's editors a look. This one (FSEditor) gets weird with backspace and delete. Earlier they acted reversed (on your BBS I believe). Here on my own board they are functioning as I would expect. I am not sure why.

Thanks for the good information.

ANSI terminal is required for the external editors (above).

My SlyEdit install on Vertrauen wasn't up-to-date, so that's now fixed. Backspace/delete reversal is usually the result of using a non-ANSI/BBS terminal. That's probably something already addressed in the latest SlyEdit.

in that also seems new, why not try?

because then you're giving wrong advise.

You do this yourself. Often. <shrug>

If you say so, but the last time i said what worked for me, and it did.
you disagreed.

I'm not saying i'm never wrong, but I say what i've done and that it worked. There's more than one way to skin a cat.

And you're about 20 years too late to point that out and I've already helped hundreds of people. I never had any complaints from them. I've heard complaints about you and those other synchonet guys, though
guess nobody is perfect, eh!

It's no secret that a lot of those fidonet guys hate Rob. I think it's unwarranted, for the most part, though. He has been short with people on occasion but that's nothing to cry about.

you sure you get into a lot of pissing contests.

If you got the biggest dick in town you need to defend the title.
thanks for crawling from under your rock.

HAHAHAHAHA! Not only Extremely helpful, But funny too! You're such a perfect specimen of a BBS user. I just don't know what the bbs world would be without you.

In the default Synchronet editor you can press CTRL-K to read help for hot k
marked with an asterisk.

Is there any shortcuts to delete a line, or even better, to mark a start/ position and delete all within the range?

In the CTRL-K help, CTRL-Y is listed as "delete line".

Ahh great! Thanks a lot. If only I checked this board before I replied to someone on another where I spent 3 minutes holding delete lol :D

Or, even better, if only you'd LOOKED AT THE SCREEN in the editor and seen
in the bottom status line where it says "Ctrl-K for help". Eh? <EYEROLL>

No need to be a sarcastic dick, you could've just hit next and moved on with your day :P
