nano

small, friendly text editor inspired by Pico

Description

GNU nano is an easy-to-use text editor originally designed as a replacement for Pico, the ncurses-based editor from the non-free mailer package Pine (itself now available under the Apache License as Alpine).

However, GNU nano also implements many features missing in Pico, including:

- undo/redo

- line numbering

- syntax coloring

- soft-wrapping of overlong lines

- selecting text by holding Shift

- interactive search and replace (with regular expression support)

- a go-to line (and column) command

- support for multiple file buffers

- auto-indentation

- tab completion of filenames and search terms

- toggling features while running

- and full internationalization support
