Alias to Open new terminal?
Hello everyone. I want to create an alias of vi, so that everytime I use vi to edit something, it will open up a new terminal session, with the vi file that I want to edit. So for example if I enter:
sudo vi /etc/bashrc
This will open up a brand new terminal window, with the /etc/bashrc file opened and ready to be edited... But I have no idea how get the information from one terminal to the newly created terminal... any suggestions?

cdbs-edit-patch
CDBS-EDIT-PATCH(1) CDBS Documentation CDBS-EDIT-PATCH(1)
NAME
cdbs-edit-patch - create or edit a CDBS simple-patchsys.mk patch
SYNOPSIS
cdbs-edit-patch patchname
DESCRIPTION
cdbs-edit-patch creates or edits patches for use by the CDBS simple-patchsys.mk patch system. For more information about CDBS please see
the documentation under /usr/share/doc/cdbs/.
When patchname exists, cdbs-edit-patch will set up a temporary working source tree, apply all patches up to and including patchname in lex-
icographic order, and spawn an interactive shell for the developer. The developer can then edit files in this working tree. When the
developer is done and exits the shell, cdbs-edit-patch updates patchname to reflect the changes made. To abort the process from the inter-
active shell, exit with a nonzero exit value.
When patchname does not exist, cdbs-edit-patch will assume that a new patch should be created. As with the above scenario, cdbs-edit-patch
will first create a temporary working source tree and apply all patches up to the new patch in lexicographic order. When the shell is
quit, cdbs-edit-patch will create patchname.
