Alternatively you could use my favorite approach, Visual Studio Code. Just open the file with it, edit it and upon saving you will be promoted if the file needs admin rights to save.
Okay but how can I show how good I am with shortcuts to edit legacy software ?
Vscode does have a lot of shortcuts, so you could always study them in detail and impress others that way. 😅
Yup, s/vsc/kwrite/ personally, it's lighter, but why shouldn't I have a pretty for my config editing needs...
I love vsc but it's not always available.
So for any supposedly malicious activity (infected) it wants to do, it just has to hold until you save and give admin access? 😅
Yes, but if you want to argue along those lines, you could also have an infected version of vim on your system just waiting to do malicious stuff until you give it sudo access.
Indeed... Hence why I use 'sudo nano'. 😜
