I’ve always wanted something like the old DOS edit or turbo vision editors with CUA key bindings, to the point where I maintained my own for several years around 2000. On Linux “ne” is not a bad choice, though I’d like an upgrade.

Remembered why I didn’t stick with it now, it doesn’t have menus and there was a bug that has been fixed, will try again.

The same for me.

The TUI of MsDos Edit and Turbo Vision (for example, Turbo Pascal or Turbo C main editors) were extremely intuitive to use.

I always wonder why they had no real successors in recent times.

Have you tried mcedit? It has similar look and feel, unfortunately CUA keybindings does not seem to work
