Description

Edits text in a terminal with desktop-like shortcuts and retro-style interface behavior. It is useful for users who want a keyboard-focused editor that still feels closer to a graphical text editor than to classic modal tools.

It works inside the terminal and can edit any file the user has permission to write. Be careful with system files, because saving changes there can affect login, services, or application behavior.
