Micro!
1- terminal-based text editor,
2- with mouse support,
3- 1000 x better than nano(editor) & vim (just kidding, 5 x better)
Vim and neovim have mouse support as well. Micro has less plugins and is overall less configurable than (neo)vim. The style sure is different, but in terms of features, vim outclasses micro atm.
I may break down and learn some vim keybindings soon since so many other Linux or FOSS programs use it or can use it. But, until then, why waste time learning a bunch of stuff when micro allows me to use the newer standard keybindings that most programs use (^s to save; ^v to paste, etc)?
Thanks for letting me know about this editor! It looks exactly what I want. :)
This looks top notch!
Going to give this a try. TY!!
