Static, portable binary with no dependencies.

Out of the box:

• Syntax highlighting
• Multi-line cursors like Sublime Text
• Mouse support (works incredibly well)
• Splits and tabs for working on multiple files
• Diff gutter
• Copy and paste with system clipboard
• Cross-platform (runs basically on anything that Go does)
• Sane key binds (ctrl-s, ctrl-c, ctrl-v, ctrl-z, ctrl-x, etc)
• Terminal emulator
• Plugin system to extend it
• And much much more

I have nothing to do with the project but this binary is the absolute best. curl or wget to any host and away you go with effectively a Sublime Text / VSCode like in the terminal. It’s as simple as nano and as functional as a well configured and extended vim.

It’s baffling it’s not more well known and not installed by default on major distros.
