Reclaim the terminal

Nice post! This led to me discovering vipe. This is an npm package, but it also exists in moreutils. In a line, it allows you to modify the interim input/output of a pipeline stage with your editor of choice. As a pointless example with much better ways of doing it: cat somefile.txt | vipe > somefile2.txt.

Anyone come across vipe in the past? Or use if as part of their standard command line toolkit?

I found this an incredible enlightening read! I did wonder for a while how the Ctrl-C signal actually happened, but I never stopped to think about how less did the interactive trick. It's useful to know for my own scripts as well!
