Antirez, of redis fame, wrote a minimal editor in C which got a lot of love here on hacker news a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12065217 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12065217 I took that release and added Lua scripting support to it, which also seemed reasonably popular: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12137698 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12137698 It pretty much meets your requirements, and was a fun project. But it did make me realize that writing editors is sometimes harder than you'd think.

Kilo's supported commands are[1]: CTRL-S: Save CTRL-Q: Quit CTRL-F: Find string in file (ESC to exit search, arrows to navigate) It's available in a lot of well-used distros: https://pkgs.org/search/kilo https://pkgs.org/search/kilo but doesn't look like it's in Arch, etc. Kilua looks cool also as it has more similar keybindings to Emacs[2]: Ctrl-x Ctrl-o Open a new file in the current buffer. Ctrl-x Ctrl-s Save the current file. Ctrl-x Ctrl-c Quit. Ctrl-x c Create a new buffer Ctrl-x n Move to the next buffer. Ctrl-x p Move to the previous buffer. Ctrl-x b Select buffer from a list M-x Evaluate lua at the prompt. Ctrl-r: Regular expression search. but the goal would be to have that available in a package manager in a default install, so that after logging into any server where I'm a sudoer, I could: sudo apt-get install some_package sudo yum -y install some_package pacman -S some_package ...
