Do you have Kate on your system? You can open side-by-side versions of
that, and that's a fine text editor that you don't have to
know vi or anything esoteric to use it.

As I currently have the MATE desktop, it is not installed and the
original motivation has passed.
However, reviewing Kate's homepage [https://kate-editor.org/] suggests
it may have other desirable features. Synaptic reports ~150 packages
would be installed but the additional disk space would not be
significant. As I was already planning an upgrade to Stretch {>=9.1}
with a heavily customized choice of packages this would be a convenient
time to investigate Kate.
Thank you.
