Simple yet customizable? My thoughts go to Sublime Text if you want a GUI editor and closed-source is OK, or Micro if you want a TUI editor that is open source: https://micro-editor.github.io/ Like OpenBox, most casual users can be dropped in and know their way around their interfaces, and both options are kinda lightweight compared to other modern options. There is power available for serious customization if you…

This is great! I used to install micro[0] as “nano with better shortcuts”, but it was always a bit of an overkill, so I’m really happy with this change. One quirk that remains: even with –modernbindings, Ctrl+X and Ctrl+C will add to nano’s clipboard, instead of replacing whatever is there. [0] https://micro-editor.github.io.

Is Micro[0] not a better, more purpose-fit solution to these issues? (Syntax highlighting quality, etc) Prev discussed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37171294.

There are two main ways to configure sudo.The first one is using the sudoers file.It is located at /etc/sudoers for Linux,and /usr/local/etc/sudoers for FreeBSD respectively.The paths are different,but the configuration works in the same way.
A typical sudoers file looks like this.
The sudoers file must be edited with the visudo command,which ensures the config is free of errors.Running this command as the…

I really like micro, a nano-like editor with a very sane, regular people friendly keybinding.

I am all for your efforts. I am very keyboard centric. My sweet spot is macOS keyboard shortcuts. Especially those as defined by BBEdit. But I have learned from all the platforms I have worked on. (TRS-DOS, MSDOS, OS/2, macOS, Windows, Linux) I never get into Vim primarily because of HJKL. I have spent many hours trying. But I do use IJKL as arrow keys via hardware keyboard macros, AutoHotKey, Karabiner Elements,…

Micro is lovely. A terminal text editor written with UI conventions that aren’t 40 years out of date, so the same Ctrl+[Key] commands and mouse interactions where available that you use in nearly every other piece of software you interact with do the right thing by default, and allow arbitrary remapping to the scriptable internal command line. Decent sophisticated editor feature set with multiple cursors,…

I would recommend using micro as a starter text editor. It’s easy to use and has mouse support (or install what you’re familiar with).

Was faffing about with Helix for a few weeks until I went back to good old trusty Micro where I’m comfortable. Although, I’m keeping an eye on Helix, soft wrapping has been merged which should be out in repos sometime soon :).

The closest you will get is micro. It support splits and tabs.
You use it like any other GUI editor, it has mouse support and sane default keyboard shortcut.

Honestly though, I’m just glad I found the nano binary I had for esxi so I didn’t have to go searching for it again. No idea why it or something similar with a more permissive licence like micro isn’t included. Vi is powerful, but usually I just want to quickly open and edit a file in a quick ssh session and I want something that just works easy.

I went through the key-bindings in Micro (which use different modifier keys) and added them to Sublime Text:.

All of the old editors are horrible. Nano, vi, emacs… Sure they might be conveniently placed, but are a pain to learn. This one is a vast improvement https://micro-editor.github.io/.

I used to be a nano user but now whenever I want to use a terminal text editor I will almost always use micro as it has built in support for most languages. https://micro-editor.github.io/.

Give Micro a try: https://micro-editor.github.io/ It’s insert-mode only but well-worth giving a whirl for faster edits.
