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?

I'm not getting you fully, but one way to do it is as below. This assumes you have an Xserver available and that xterm is installed:

Code:

alias vi="xterm -e vi /etc/bashrc &"

I wonder why don't you edit it directly, though?
