Cron Jobs For Beginners | Linux Task Scheduling

When I try to edit after inputting crontab -e, no Text Editor comes up. I see the code in something called LXTerminal. How do I edit from here? My Raspberry Pi has a Text Editor. Do I have to copy and paste it into that? Or maybe it IS open in some Editor and I just have to figure out which one and what the commands are? Thanks!

is that a uPerfect portable monitor. I think I have the same one
