Micro text editor

Created by Zachary Yedidia back in 2016 Micro TUI text editor was intended to become a Nano replacement. It has a similarly small footprint and instantaneous start times, but thanks to much more common nowadays keyboard shortcuts and full support for mouse, it is much easier to just pick up and start using.

However, a solid number of advanced features like multiple cursors; tabs, split screen and built-in terminal; search and replace with regular expressions; plugin support puts it in the same category as Geany, Notepad++, Sublime Text, BBEdit, Bluefish and other coding-oriented editors.

Here are a couple of guides to make you started:
