• Microsoft is exploring adding a command line text editor into Windows, and it wants your feedback

  I really like micro, a nano-like editor with a very sane, regular people friendly keybinding. Source: 5 months ago

• Revolutionizing Text Editor Navigation and Altarnative to Vim and GNUEmacs

  I am all for your efforts. I am very keyboard centric. My sweet spot is macOS keyboard shortcuts. Especially those as defined by BBEdit. But I have learned from all the platforms I have worked on. (TRS-DOS, MSDOS, OS/2, macOS, Windows, Linux) I never get into Vim primarily because of HJKL. I have spent many hours trying. But I do use IJKL as arrow keys via hardware keyboard macros, AutoHotKey, Karabiner Elements,... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• The ultimate Vi cheat sheet guide

  Micro is lovely. A terminal text editor written with UI conventions that aren't 40 years out of date, so the same Ctrl+[Key] commands and mouse interactions where available that you use in nearly every other piece of software you interact with do the right thing by default, and allow arbitrary remapping to the scriptable internal command line. Decent sophisticated editor feature set with multiple cursors,... Source: about 1 year ago

• Recovering datastore partition table

  Honestly though, I'm just glad I found the nano binary I had for esxi so I didn't have to go searching for it again. No idea why it or something similar with a more permissive licence like micro isn't included. Vi is powerful, but usually I just want to quickly open and edit a file in a quick ssh session and I want something that just works easy. Source: over 1 year ago

  I went through the key-bindings in Micro (which use different modifier keys) and added them to Sublime Text:. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• GNU nano is my editor of choice (2021)

  All of the old editors are horrible. Nano, vi, emacs... Sure they might be conveniently placed, but are a pain to learn. This one is a vast improvement https://micro-editor.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Mle is a small, flexible, terminal-based text editor written in C

  > 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),... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
