The big questions, should I invest time in learning a new CLI tool?
I am not sure what is the use of Micro that I can't already do.
Do we really need an editor inside the terminal? My current setup vim + sublime.
- sprash 6y agoMicro is more suited for people that are used to the Windows/Notepad-CUA workflow (Use Ctrl-C for copy Ctrl-V to paste, Shift-Arrow to select, etc.) and want to use that workflow inside the terminal instead of a full blown GUI application. If you are already learned how to use vim Micro doesn't make much sense.
- em500 6y agoI'd think people used to Windows/Notepad/CUA editors would be most comfortable with the venerable Midnight Commander editor (mcedit). The main issue is probably that Windows editors rely heavily on modifier-arrow combinations. It's quite fiddly to get them all to work correctly inside the various terminals, and there is not much that a application running inside a terminal can do about that.
