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?

@matthew Sorry, I added an edit to clarify. I guess it wasn't clear from the context of talking about common terminal editors and talking about a TUI (though I feel like that one should have done it,) but I meant a console text editor.

I already have lots of GUI options that I like.

@matthew I was looking more for something with a TUI type of setup like the aforementioned tilde.

So far I've found chr and dinky, both of which aren't exactly enjoying high renown, but chr has made it into the distro packages, so that's kind of a good sign I guess for it. I also saw Fresh which looked really really nice and I loved it, but "Claude" is their chief programmer now, so I expect it to break beyond hope in the near future. (Also I couldn't figure out how to switch it to handling tabs as tabs instead of replacing them with spaces, but I assume there is a setting hidden in there somewhere. Weird default behavior there...)
