I've been really taken with Micro for a couple years.
I have the classic GUI-style control key combinations (^Z,X,C,V,F, etc.) so deeply in my fingers that I inevitably try to use them everywhere, appropriate or not, and Micro does the right thing with them. Super intuitive (Ctrl+Arrows to jump words) and/or mnemonic (Ctrl+T for Tab) for the usual text-editor features. A good selection of power feature like Sublime-ish multiple cursors and a scriptable command line. Mouse integration just works in X. Hooks xclip or xsel to integrate with the system clipboard. Etc.
And (being written in go), it's super easy to make static binaries and/or cross-compile to drop on machines which are fucked or you have limited access to or the like. Eg. if you need an editor on some random embedded ARM Linux box, you can'env GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm CGO_ENABLED=0 make' and a few seconds later you have a binary to drop there.

- mixmastamyk 5y agoI waited for micro for twenty years. Hobbled with nano+config files, then ne, tolerable but not great. If it only had a menu like turbovision, I’d absolutely love it.
- smoldesu 5y agoMicro is awesome! My only gripe is that the default color scheme doesn't respect your terminal's settings, but that is quickly remedied with `set colorscheme simple` (cmc-16 also works).
