why hard exit editor? Nano say at bottom.

Static, portable binary with no dependencies.

Out of the box:

  • Syntax highlighting
  • Multi-line cursors like Sublime Text
  • Mouse support
  • Splits and tabs
  • Diff gutter
  • Copy and paste with system clipboard
  • Cross-platform
  • Sane key binds (ctrl-s, ctrl-c, ctrl-v, ctrl-z, ctrl-x, etc)
  • Plugin system
  • And much much more

I have nothing to do with the project but this binary is the absolute best. curl or wget to any host and away you go with effectively a Sublime Text / VSCode like in the terminal.

It’s baffling it’s not more well known and not installed by default on major distros.

That’s not a text editor, that’s an IDE.
IMO it needs better LSP support and things like refactoring, smart auto completion, and go to definition for a range of languages to be considered an ide.
