mg, one of the three default text editors included with OpenBSD (the others being vi and ed).
sandy, the abandoned suckless text editor. It uses dmenu and is fun to mess with for shits and giggles.
I am trying to help with vis and it is a lot of fun to use. Aside from things where I really need neovim (because of large plugins), I use vis every day. Sam and ACME (and whole Plan9 for that matter) have the biggest problem with being too GUI oriented. They are from times when we discovered a mouse and then decided we need to use it for everything. Thirty years down the line we know better: we don’t.
I think you mean st instead of dmenu here
...no, I definitely meant dmenu. sandy has keybindings that bring up (by default) various dmenu prompts as a substitute for the usual "command mode".
: or M-x to bring up a command prompt, C-\ for a "pipe to" prompt, M-\ for a sed prompt... you get the idea.
st is just the suckless terminal emulator; sandy can be run from any terminal emulator.
I'll give you six that I haven't seen mentioned yet:
sim
andvis
, both of which focus on combiningvim
motions with structural regular expressions as used in...sam
andacme
from Plan 9, both of which are included in Plan 9 from User Space (akaplan9port
).sam
also has a modified/expanded version in the form ofdeadpixi/sam
, whileacme
has spin-offs like a port to Go and a standalone version.mg
