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/. | |||||||||||||||||

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. | |||||||||||||||||

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: https://www.github.com/marssaxman/ozette/ I didn't care about mouse support, though. |
