Sure, but that’s inside a string:

$ printf "This is a   # let's break \

> It has three lines, so I can
> test awk on it." | awk '
> NR>2    # Skip two lines. \
> { print $2 }   # should only print "awk"
> '
is
has
test awk on it.
awk

Maybe a tiling (or optionally-tiling) window manager would be a good choice then? No elements! :)

Or try Slackware -CURRENT. Not Debian-based, but quality control is awesome. There even is an apt simulator for it.

Woah!

Try Emacs.
