Description

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.

Edit is available through winget as package ID Microsoft.Edit, with version 2.0.0. Use the install command above to set it up on Windows without downloading a separate installer manually.

Why install it with winget

Developer-tool pages are strongest when they connect to the broader workstation build: editors, terminals, runtimes, containers, and AI coding tools.

  • Makes developer stacks easier to reinstall with one repeatable flow
  • Useful for scripting day-one workstation setup
  • Works well when paired with archive pages, publishers, and curated topics
