Show HN: A text editor that works on terminals
A text editor that does not take up your whole terminal screen. At the moment, each invocation can only edit one file. It supports Emacs style key bindings.

- bkomarath 2y agoThis editor works like a screen editor where you can move around the entire file using arrow keys and perform edits like Emacs/Vim. I believe tools like sed/ed are necessarily line-oriented. A long session in a line-oriented editor like ed would create a large amount of scrollback in the terminal.
- sargstuff 2y agoemacs-bindings to run alias/macros of sed script(s) that perform equivalent emacs functionality would allow for editing/manipulating a given file(s) without displaying file to screen (unless requested). Not user interactive friendly though.
