Request: micro text editor
Request: micro text editor
I just download the binary and place it in my /usr/local/bin as root. It's works just fine, my all time favorite text editor. Notice it wasn't in the repositories. I usually don't make request. Because I know how to do it myself. But it would help other's if it was more of a simple click on install command. Thanks.

Is the editor named "micro text editor" ? If you want "your favorite" text editor in the repos, you may place a request here:

Mine is Scite. Unfortunately, it is only for 386's. I now it can be installed on a 64 bit it all of the supporting 386 packages are installed. Lots of clutter.

Re: Request: micro text editor
Not really. It's written in Go and the plugin scripts are written in Lua. A lot more features then nano, but not as advance as vim. It's a in betweener. Someone that what something better then nano. But don't want to go as far as learning how to use vim.Buck Fankers wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 12:31 pmA-ha, so it is like, Nano, terminal based editor, correct?gimcrack wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 12:19 pmYes, and thanks.manyroads wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 11:47 am Is the editor named "micro text editor" ?

Re: Request: micro text editor
I do not know what makes you think that, scite is available from the regular Debian repo (also for amd64).
A personal favorite of mine,too (after vim, of course ;-)
Actually this editor is a show-case for the scintilla widget on which the very popular notepad++ is based (but that one is windows-only)

Getting Debian packages is issue #1 for micro and still open: https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/issues/1
It's also getting almost too late to include with Buster.
However, we could just package the binaries as a "micro-bin" package like the AUR, since we don't have to follow strict Debian policy for our repos.
