My favourite console text editor on Linux. I wrote about it here:<p><a href="https://www.theregister.com/2021/12/17/tilde_text_editor/" rel="nofollow">https://www.theregister.com/2021/12/17/tilde_text_editor/</a><p>Standard keystrokes <i>and</i> mouse support! On the console, without X!<p>Either of those alone would be enough, but both together is a killer combination.
I'm not the target audience (long-time emacs user, occasional vi user just for the heck of it), but this seems like a nice idea. On the few occasions I have used nano, I found the keyboard shortcuts very inconvenient. If I had no prior experience with any text-mode editors, I'd most likely prefer Tilde to the available alternatives.<p>I never tried ee, though, so I have no idea how it compares or if anyone uses it.
Cool project. Looks just like the editor I grew up with in MS DOS. These days I'm invested in Vim. I guess the choice boils down to "how much do you write" and even more down to "how much do you edit".
I have it installed and it's nice, but not better enough to make me leave familiar old nano or mcedit. Maybe it will gradually replace nano as new users choose it.
