Welp, this is big enough to make Nano my default editor. While it'll take a while to become "ubiquitous" (as in version 8.0+) it's trivial enough to build for any systems I manage.
The new mousewheel behavior is particularly nice. It's totally up to my taste with --modernbindings and --mouse.
- vundercind 2y agoNow if they add an edit.com-style menu at the top I’ll really never need another CLI text editor.
- xp84 2y agois there a "unix/Linux" cli text editor that replicates or approximates EDIT? I have used micro a lot, but it's a spiritual cousin of nano/pico of course. Curious what others who like editors that are nothing like Vim use. (besides emacs, which as someone who doesn't know lisp, is probably wasted on me)

- falsaberN1 2y agomcedit is the closest one in general look and feel. It's installed together with Midnight Commander. Of course it can be used as an independent editor. EDIT:Sibling post proved me wrong, Tilde also exists. How interesting.
- falsaberN1 2y agoI wouldn't complain for sure. I always loved edit.com and have such fond memories of it. I used mcedit as terminal text editor for a while, but it was never installed anywhere but at home, so ended up defaulting to vi and nano for consistency. If nano became a bit more like edit.com that'd mean it'd be almost everywhere by default once versions catch up...one can dream.
