Please suggest a terminal text editor

• ci_edit

  1 219 1.1 Python

  A terminal text editor with mouse support and ctrl+Q to quit.

  

  I'm sure that vi and Emacs will happily do this and more, but I'm hoping for something a little lighter in weight. ci_edit nearly fits the bill, except it doesn't show a word count, and I thought I would ask first before trying to patch it.

• micro-editor

  226 23,832 8.9 Go

  A modern and intuitive terminal-based text editor

  If that's what you meant by "lighter in weight", have a look at micro.

• WorkOS

  workos.com

  sponsored

• amp

  17 3,590 8.0 Rust

  A complete text editor for your terminal. (by jmacdonald)

  I haven't had a need to go with anything other than n/vim or emacs, but just did a quick search and found https://amp.rs/. No idea if it meets your needs, since the old standby's do everything I'm going to need to do in a TUI, but maybe it does what you want.
