> It would be awesome if we could edit text resources from inside the Karaf shell.
> Why?
> i) Because I won't have to quit the console, or open a new term/ssh session to modify the resource.
> ii) Editing config files via config:edit or jaas:manage, is workable but not perfect.
> iv) Configs are not only cfg files, in many cases we also have xml (jetty.xml, broker.xml, hazelcast.xml).
> iv) Integrating such feature with the url handlers would just rock (e.g. modify the content of cloud blob or a zookeeper znode, without having to manually copy the content locally edit and reupload).
>  
> How?
> I haven't found so far a decent oss console based editor in java. So, our best bet is to integrate with console editors already present in the system (e.g. vi, nano, emacs, edit etc).
