More like nano alternative or whatever.

Why mention Vim at all, if it has nothing to do with the modal editing or anything Vim-related?

You are absolutely right! I only mentioned vim because I replaced it myself, but it actually makes no sense to mention it. Thanks a lot for the tip.

eKilo is a lightweight terminal text editor based on the original kilo editor with enhanced functions. Its peculiarity is that it can run on any hardware, maintaining a high-performance and useful style. It installs in a minute, if you want to take a look I would be happy, having found a utility myself, having completely replaced vim. Any advice is highly appreciated.
