Vim

emacs

"An extensible, customizable, free/libre text editor — and more."

Emacs is a text editor that runs in the terminal.

Unlike nano however, vim is very much not for the feint of heart.

If you don't mind memorizing keyboard commands, this may however be for you!


On the surface, it's very similar to Editors_and_IDEs/vim " vim.

However, the design of emacs prioritized user customization and macros, whereas vim wanted their interface to be standard across environments and users.


If any of that sounds appealing to you, I urge you to also check out vim.

It's a very similar program, solving many of the same problems with very different strategies.

The priorities they've set may be more for your liking than emacs.
