Microsoft loves to own general terminology like "edit" for their products. I have no idea how this flys.
SqlServer like it's the one that found sql or it's the only product that serves sql.

#82Can this be ported to MacOS?
Its pretty easy to build there, I've tried this on MacOS and Linux.
The one thing that vexed me for something based on edit, was CTRL+P being hijacked for something that isn't print, is like we forgot about about CUA over the last 15 years.

#84I used to recommend micro[1] to people like those in the target audience of this editor. I wonder if that should change or not. -- 1: https://micro-editor.github.io/
Last time I checked, micro should have been called macro based on the binary file size.

I think not. Edit is to edit files in the terminal. What kind of files do you expect people to edit in the terminal? Most certainly files that would benefit from colors, not prose.
A lot of authors, myself included, want a "distraction free" editor. Its a whole over-populated market segment. Prose thrives in the terminal. Ice and Fire was written in WordStar, as just one popular example.
Is that why the series ground to a halt

It worked, did the basics really well and got the job done. Glad to see it’s back.

Is... this a meaningful benchmark? Who's editing files big enough to benefit from 120GBps throughput in any meaningful way on the regular using an interactive editor rather than just pushing it through a script/tool/throwing it into ETL depending on the size and nature of the data?
I have to scroll through huge files quite frequently, and that's the reason I have Sublime Text installed, as it deals with them very well.
I have FAR installed for the same reason.

#88Geniunely curious, how projects like these get approved in an org at the scale of Microsoft? Is this like a side project by some devs or part of some product roadmap? How did they convince the leadership to spend time on this?

#89It will take more than nostalgia and rust to tear me away from my neovim setup that has been built up/improved on over the years. Lsp, dap, autocompletion, aliases and bindings for each programming languages. Lazily loaded of course so it’s still snappy. Manage configuration, and external dependencies such as lsps with nix. Then have separate nix shells for each project to load tooling and other dependencies in an is…
You are not the target audience. This is aimed at casual users and beginners, and it's already in a good shape to replace nano with its user-friendly, mouse-enabled TUI.

#90Can this be ported to MacOS?
It works on MacOs since it was published some two weeks ago. I have been using it since then.
