Description

A modal terminal editor built around multiple selections and Unix-style composition. Developers use it for fast keyboard-driven editing of source code, scripts and text files.

Use it if you like modal editors and want selection-first editing. It has its own workflow, so expect a learning curve before using it comfortably on important files.
