Ok, this is a dangerous question, but I still have to ask. For all you fellow #Linux users I'm looking to replace my console text editor. I am not and will not be an emacs user and I'm not a fan of vi/vim. I used nano, but really disliked it. I really enjoy tilde for the most part (though I do wish it didn't actually take over mouse selection to such an extent that I can't copy/paste from outside the terminal in a GUI) but tilde seems to be dead. The dev seems to be MIA and the packages no longer work. We can still manually build it (though it's not static and you can't move the source files after building or it quits working) but I assume eventually that's going to stop working.

Is there an editor kind of modernish like tilde but, you know, not dead and not emacs-based and a TUI?

@jake4480 What? No, that's not for a GUI and it's not a plain text editor... I use it for documents, but it's a billion times more complex than what we're talking about here and for the wrong environment besides.

I guess it wasn't clear from just TUI and the context of discussing emacs, vim, nano, tilde, etc? I'll add an edit.
