Micro
Micro is an extensible terminal text editor that supports mouse interaction and intuitive keyboard shortcuts for editing files in a command line environment. It functions as a multi-cursor editor with syntax highlighting and a plugin system for adding custom functionality and automation scripts.
The editor distinguishes itself through simultaneous editing across multiple cursors and a script-based extension system. It enables the automation of repetitive editing tasks via macro recording and playback of keystroke sequences.
The project covers workspace management through split-screen panes and tabbed layouts, alongside text manipulation features like diff gutter change tracking and system clipboard integration. It also includes development utilities such as linting and error integration to surface code analysis results within the interface.
