    The simplest is already built into freebsd; it's called ee. It has some
    keystroke help built into the top of the editor display. Another easy
    editor to use is joe (Joe's own editor). It also has a displayed keystroke
    help section, and, while it's not vi, it is a fairly powerful (yet fairly)
    simple editor.

    /usr/ports/editors/joe-devel
