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?

@nazokiyoubinbou I saw this recently, looks interesting: https://getfresh.dev/
Fresh - The Terminal Text Editor

Fresh is a fast, modern terminal text editor with intuitive keybindings, syntax highlighting, and instant startup.

@nivrig It looks really amazing. My first thought was that it was too good to be true. Then I looked at their github and saw that they allow direct submissions from Claude, so I guess it is too good to be true.    I may use it anyway for now, but I guess it has a future of being guaranteed to eventually break down and no one will know how to fix it without starting over at some point.

Darn. I really like it. Despite everything I may use it for now.

@nazokiyoubinbou Ugh, I hadn’t had a chance to look at it yet.

@nivrig It's actually really good as it stands right now. I imagine those submissions are relatively new. But I guess it's just a matter of time. I just backed up every file I could and may just never update until the day they reevaluate that decision. 😆 (Assuming I keep using it of course, but I honestly might for now.) Disable automatic update checks and it stops going online at all. (Nothing popping up with OpenSnitch so far.)

EDIT: Ran into a problem. It replaces tabs with the appropriate number of spaces. I get the impression it can be configured to treat tabs as tabs, but I can't find a setting for it anywhere...

What this means is things do not align when you use tabs. They're literally just spaces. (4 by default.)

Maybe I'll stick with tilde...
