#### A modern and intuitive terminal-based text editor

Micro is a terminal-based text editor that aims to be easy to use and
intuitive, while also taking advantage of the full capabilities of modern
terminals.

Micro has standard keybindings (Ctrl-s to save, Ctrl-z to undo, Ctrl-q to quit, etc...) and supports a wide variety of features, including:

* Syntax highlighting (over 140 languages supported)
* Multiple cursors
* Configurable keybindings and settings (tab width, tabs vs. spaces, diff gutter, etc...)
* Built-in terminal emulator
* Splits and tabs
* Automatic linting and commenting via Lua plugins
* Plugin manager to download additional Lua plugins other users have made
* And much more!
