 EMAC OE provides simple text editing capabilities for making changes to configuration files and scripts. Major editing tasks should be performed on a desktop system first, copying the desired files back to the target board. There are two text editors available on standard EMAC OE builds: <code>vi</code> and <code>nano</code>. <code>vi</code> is a very common text editor available on almost every Unix-like OS. <code>nano</code> is a more conventional text editor that can be easier to use for those not familiar with <code>vi</code>.

 To open a file using <code>vi</code> simply type the command <code>vi</code> followed by the file name. For example, to edit the network interfaces configuration:
 <syntaxhighlight lang=console>
 root@emac-oe:~# vi /etc/network/interfaces

 On desktop Linux, the <code>vimtutor</code> program is usually installed with the full <code>vim</code> package.  This program is a great way to learn the basics of <code>vim</code> (which stands for VI iMproved) quickly.  The <code>vimtutor</code> program is designed to take about a half an hour to work through.  The unusual user interface of <code>vi</code> makes it a very powerful editor, once learned.  Keys used in the command mode of <code>vi</code> can be found in many other places, as well, such as the gmail web interface (when enabled).
 == Using Nano ==
-<code>nano</code> has a smaller learning curve than <code>vi</code>, but is much less powerful.  People looking to edit files quickly, without much learning curve, may wish to start with <code>nano</code>.

-For example, to save the file, press Ctrl-O. To exit, press Ctrl-X. The <code>nano</code> editor is always in insertion mode, so any keys typed that are not part of a control sequence will be placed in the file as text.
