Features

Easy to Use

Micro's number one feature is being easy to install (it's just a
static binary with no dependencies) and easy to use.

Highly Customizable

Use a simple json format to configure your options and rebind keys to
your liking. If you need more power, you can use Lua to configure the
editor further.

Colors and Highlighting

Micro supports over 75 languages and has 7 default colorschemes to
choose from. Micro supports 16, 256, and truecolor themes. Syntax
files and colorschemes are also very simple to make.

Multiple Cursors

Micro has support for Sublime-style multiple cursors, giving you lots
of editing power directly in your terminal.

Plugin System

Micro supports a full-blown plugin system. Plugins are written in Lua
and there is a plugin manager to automatically download and install
your plugins for you.

Common Keybindings

Micro's keybindings are what you would expect from a simple-to-use
editor. You can also rebind any of the bindings without problem in
the bindings.json file.

Mouse Support

Micro has full support for the mouse. This means you can click and
drag to select text, double click select by word, and triple click to
select by line.

Terminal Emulator

Run a real interactive shell from within micro. You could open up a
split with code on one side and bash on the other -- all from within
micro.


And much more! Check out the full list of features here as well as
the built-in help system also viewable online here.
