Micro Editor Overview

micro is a free, open-source, terminal-based text editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux designed to be easy to use — like a modern, friendlier alternative to terminal editors such as nano and Vim. It supports familiar keyboard shortcuts (such as Ctrl+S to save and Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V), mouse support, syntax highlighting for many languages, multiple cursors, split panes, and a plugin system, all in a single small binary that runs in the terminal with no dependencies. Its goal is to make editing in the terminal approachable without sacrificing useful features, which makes it popular for quick edits over SSH and on servers. The full offline/portable binary runs without an internet connection. It reads common settings and supports true-color themes, and a plugin manager installs add-ons with a single command.
