A comment on micro – A Modern Alternative to nano. Parent comment
– sometimes needs to make a few quick edits right from the terminal (but prefers a proper GUI text editor like VS Code for longer sessions)
– is accustomed to the keyboard shortcut conventions of desktop applications on Linux/Windows[1]
– occasionally, wants to use the mouse and expects it to work in the terminal like it would in a proper GUI text editor.
Micro fulfills all these needs with its default configuration. It is one of the first things I install on a Linux box, be it a desktop or a server.
