A text editor that does not take up your whole terminal screen. At the moment, each invocation can only edit one file. It supports Emacs style key bindings.

This editor works like a screen editor where you can move around the entire file using arrow keys and perform edits like Emacs/Vim.
I believe tools like sed/ed are necessarily line-oriented. A long session in a line-oriented editor like ed would create a large amount of scrollback in the terminal.

emacs-bindings to run alias/macros of sed script(s) that perform equivalent emacs functionality would allow for editing/manipulating a given file(s) without displaying file to screen (unless requested).
Not user interactive friendly though.
