micro is the best terminal based code editor I haven't seen yet....
It is on GitHub and snapstore
After installing:
Open terminal and type
->> micro file_name.extention
Keyboard shortcuts:
1.) ctrl + c -> copy
2.) ctrl + v -> paste
3.) ctrl + x -> cut
4.) ctrl + s -> save
5.) ctrl + q -> quit or exit
It also supports Tab key snippeting (word predictions).Many are already familiar with Tab automate function in terminal .like that MICRO TERMINAL EDITOR also support it
For example:
1.) use std::io::stdin;
2.) type u and press tab key it will finish use keyword automatically
3.) type s. Here we can observe many words are starting with letter S . So after pressing tab key it will show all the starting S based words in a down toolbar again we need to press Tab key to select our desired word
6.) Th Tab key is case sensitive (Upper and lower)
For example:
Class
cout
If u type c and later if u press Tab key it will fill up with cout keyword. And it doesn't even show Class in down toolbar bcoz of case differences .....same for Class also
7.) Micro editor also supports theming
1.) Open micro in terminal by simply typing micro
2.) press ctrl + e to open micro's command line
3.) type
set colorscheme theme_name
Ex:
set colorscheme atom-dark
-For more color schemes check GitHub
Note : Latest micro editor is only available for Linux in snapstore , Arch repositories and GitHub
Windows has very older version
-I don't know about Mac-

I tried Vim, Emacs, VSCode. The first had too wierd copy paste, and complicated extension ways. The second is a bit bloated and wierd customization too. The third is a bit slow on my computer and had visual noise.
Finally my favourite at the moment is a little-known editor called Howl. Classic editing (non modal) but clean. Unfortunately the community is too tiny but the software is pretty stable.
I will try Kakoune, I hope it is like a Vim done right.

I think as an editor, Kakoune is the best out of all of them. Better than both Vim and Emacs. But I'm still using Vim, because there's tooling and plugins I need as a developer that I never quite got working in Kakoune in a way that didn't feel brittle. I wish this wasn't the case, because Kakoune would leave Vim in the dust otherwise. Emacs is it's own category, but as an editor, I think Kakoune leaves it in the dust as well.

This is the text editor I've been dreaming of! Literally, I've been conceptually designing my ideal text editor, and this is it! Motion before action so you can see your selection, a menu of text objects, documentation hints as you type a command, multi cursor selection based such as for find and replace, the unix way... everything I've been dreaming of. Thank you so much for sharing. I'd never heard of it.

Why would someone need NerdTree? Isn't it easier to just start fuzzy typing a filename and have the editor find it for you? Maybe it's hard to remember all the names... But I just use fewer files as creating more files makes code harder to navigate, understand, and maintain. Modern IDEs and OOP has brought coding backwards about 40 years. :-(

I use the Vim plugin in WebStorm / VsCode to have both a powerful IDE and a good text editor
So I don-t need some plugins, multitabs, etc. From my text editor
And I really love kakoune logic more than vim, but unfortunately there is no kakoune plugins for the IDEs (
I think developers should look in this direction too

Does anyone know why I've added the highlighter for the number lines but it only applies it to the current session? It's not that I care too much about it, but it kinda bothers me the fact that I don't understand what's happening

overall it's a great editor, it's fast, theming could be done from xdefaults, plugins are available, works great with tmux, and the docs are great, i hope this project grows bigger and better
