Micro

> The default key bindings are intuitive. Input text as normal, use directional keys to move around, use Ctrl-S to save, Ctrl-O to open, Ctrl-X to exit. Ctrl-X to exit is not intuitive. That's used to cut text almost everywhere. Instead, use Ctrl-Q (quit) to exit. It's been 35 years since CUA[1]. Another terminal editor, micro[2], already adopted these conventions (Ctrl-C to copy, Ctrl-X to cut, Ctrl-V to paste), other terminal editors should as well.

Kakoune

For that, try Kakoune[1], which is modal with a mostly-postfix language instead of vi's usually-prefix one and uses this to also be a multiple-selections editor with immediate visual feedback. It falls too much into the uncanny valley of almost-but-not-quite-vi for some people, though. [1] https://kakoune.org/, https://github.com/mawww/kakoune.
