Application Icon for Edit Edit

A simple editor for simple needs.

This editor pays homage to the classic MS-DOS Editor, but with a modern interface and input controls similar to VS Code. The goal is to provide an accessible editor that even users largely unfamiliar with terminals can easily use.

Installation

Packaging status

You can also download binaries from our Releases page.

Windows

You can install the latest version with WinGet:

winget install Microsoft.Edit

Notes to Package Maintainers

The canonical executable name is "edit" and the alternative name is "msedit".

We're aware of the potential conflict of "edit" with existing commands and as such recommend naming packages and executables "msedit". Names such as "ms-edit" should be avoided. Assigning an "edit" alias is recommended if possible.
