Quick question, is there a way to edit stuff on your pi without being on your pi?

[HeisWinston]

I only have 1 keyboard and mouse, and its kind of annoying plugging and unplugging them into different devices while trying to play with the pi.

@heiswinston sure, use the bisvise ssh client, (free) it will give you a file manager view of the pi files, on your pc, and then you can double click to edit like always…

i use notepad++ as my windows text editor

or use Geany on your pi

@sdetweil use VNC

@bugsounet i use bitvise, hate VNC

[bugsounet]

@sdetweil I says VNC because it’s embed on the pi
