I checked this out. It's kind of neat. It's barebones from a programming perspective though.. it didn't seem to have syntax highlighting out of the box for example.

If you want a TUI text editor with CTRL-C/V and mouse support, I'd recommend looking at micro: https://github.com/zyedidia/micro

I used micro for some years but recently switched to https://github.com/craigbarnes/dte. A lesser known, more 90s-like, alternative I used several years ago is ne: https://github.com/vigna/ne/.

Craig Barnes is epic. Great, versatile editor, dte.

Back when I was in school (like junior/middle school), we would program in a DOS based IDE call QuickBasic, and eventually Turbo C++ (in higher grades/high school). That blue background is so nostalgic.

For quick editing, my go to is vim. It’s a real superpower to have if you’re confined to the terminal. However, in the modern post-AI/vibe coding days with super fast AI completions and agentic editing, I think GUIs are the way to go. They make the constant context switching more seamless. Whereas terminal editors work best for very focused zen coding. That’s just my opinion.

There are several AI plugins for Neovim. Copilot's auto complete seems to be working fine.

Indeed - AI auto-completion works well. But chat and more conversation heavy workflows were not available back when I tried it (granted it was over a year ago).

I think Claude Code + vim might be a better solution. You’re using the best tool for the job - Claude Code for agentic assistance and vim for editing + review.

Years ago I wanted a TUI text editor with ctrl-C/V, so I wrote one. I've been using it every day, ever since:

I didn't care about mouse support, though.
