  • micro-editor

    A modern and intuitive terminal-based text editor

  • Project mention: GNU Nano 8 comes with modern key bindings | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-31

    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.

  • massren

  • Project mention: Go: What We Got Right, What We Got Wrong | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-04

    Not sure these are really popular, but I cannot resist advertising a few utilities written in Go that I regularly use in my daily workflow:

    - gdu: a NCDU clone, much faster on SSD mounts [1]

    - duf: a `df` clone with a nicer interface [2]

    - massren: a `vidir` clone (simpler to use but with fewer options) [3]

    - gotop: a `top` clone [4]

    - micro: a nice TUI editor [5]

    Building this kind of tools in Go makes sense, as the executables are statically compiled and are thus easy to install on remote servers.

  • yacco

  • Project mention: The Text Editor Sam by Rob Pike | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-05

    There are some forks (or reimplementations) of acme that have more keybindings, allowing you to avoid mouse cording. Here are a couple that I like:
