Hi there,
First time time question was asked, so no. We only have joe, nano and vim-console at this point.
Do you know the name of a lightweight emacs package in FreeBSD? We should add it if it's being used.
Cheers,
Franco

@franco,
I do not know of a lightweight emacs package for FreeBSD. But then OPNsense is my first real exposure to FreeBSD so that's not a surprise
I took a look at joe and it has a an "emacs mode" (started with the jmacs command), that seems reasonable. I think it will take care of the biggest problem that I have with nano and VI, that being about 30 years of emacs motor memory in my fingers.
Thanks.

Found and added "emacs-nox" package. Enjoy as soon as 18.1.8 is out...
