  • What kind of text editing do you do? Coding? Config files? Hard to recommend if we don’t know the use case :P

    If you want to get into terminal text-editors, I recommend https://helix-editor.com/ . It’s modal like vi/vim/neovim etc., but has much easier and more intuitive keybinds, and comes batteries-included and doesn’t require extensions.

    Downsides: Not fully mature, there’s no extension support so not suited for very niche use-cases. And if you ever have to administrate a server through SSH, it will likely only have vim which has different motions and keybinds.

    Been using it for 99% of my coding for three ish years, very happy.
