SYNOPSIS

edit Mode

e - mode line letters.

DESCRIPTION

edit mode indicated that the buffer has been edited. Many commands and typing 'edit' the current buffer, automatically setting this mode. Commands which save these edits, such as save-buffer(2), automatically remove this mode.

A '*' character, 3 characters from the left on the mode line is used to indicate that this mode is set, see $mode-line(5). list-buffers(2) also displays the state of this mode in its output, as a '*' in the second column.

When this mode is set and undo(2m) mode is enabled, the undo(2) command can be used to undo all edits and the removal of this mode.
