Is there an editor that can request root privileges without restarting it? That would be quite useful.

In vim, in normal mode you can do: :w !sudo tee %

Apparently that doesn't work in NeoVim, so recently I installed the suda plugin.

Personally, I just doas nvim and then the file name that needs root access, but it's a handy plugin in case I forget.

:w !sudo tee % then reload when it asks.

micro ftw, no need to even memorize a command, it'll just ask if you want to use sudo
