Me too until I found MICRO. https://micro-editor.github.io/ One main reason for the change is that you can place the cursor anywhere in a page with the mouse which you can not do with nano. I still use nano on occasion though. Plus you get pretty colours too. I just changed to monokai-dark scheme from the plugins offered. https://github.com/Theodus/micro-monokai-dark https://github.com/micro-editor/plugin-channel https://codeberg.org/micro-plugins/plugin-channel Edited February 9 by abarbarian extra link 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real test is if I can remember that I now have the option to use it instead of nano. Edited February 9 by wa4chq 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I'm not at all excited to say that I'm still (20 years almost) using VIM as a CLI editor app and Leafpad (previously used Mousepad) as a graphical app. All is rather staid and boring in my techie life. YAY! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something went wrong with it on my Arch quite some time ago and I could not resolve the issue so I swapped to Leafpad. Just reinstalled Mousepad and it is working again so I will use it as my default. It has some natty colour schemes and font change is easy. My favourite easy text editor.

Use this to set if terminal use (I think), .bashrc file is where to put it export EDITOR="micro" An set it as a default for the "open with" option.

I like to change the background colour and text which you can not do with leafpad easily if at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind as its not used very much as I am usually using vim with a dark themed terminal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
