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?

I was searching and ran across one that seems interesting. "chr" https://github.com/chr-editor/chr/

Very simple and minimal. It doesn't do some of the more advanced stuff I saw in some of the others and, very annoyingly, it's not saving its settings (so I have to manually create a configuration file) but it does actually have distro packages which makes me think it has more potential to not just die overnight. Probably. Maybe. 😆

Once I found the syntax for the configuration file to manually create it, it's fairly comfortable to use. (Biggest problem was I really had to change the default theme.)
