# edit last command in editor

Sometimes it's easier to edit your last command in text editor (e.g. vim) than fixing the command line in cli. while bash has fc, `fish` has built in commands.

go to your previous command with up arrow (or ctrl-p), and press alt-e

make sure `$EDITOR` environment is set.
