Micro looks nice, but Nano just works when SSHing from Windows, Micro requires some X things to support copy and paste.

Yeah, micro seems quite nice. Bit of an uncanny valley, however, because as a terminal editor, it doesn't support emacs/zile keybindings, and by default it doesn't use nano keybindings.

However, I just realised that if I think of micro as a notepad alternative, the keybindings make total sense.
