Have you ever tried JOE? It's what I used prior to vim ... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe%27s_Own_Editor

I find JOE much more awkward to use than nano.

micro on the other hand feels a lot more like Sublime Text for the terminal. I like it. :)

I like Nice Editor or ne.

This one, micro, looks interesting. I’ll give it a try.

JOE has jpico (nano like) jstar (wordstar) and jmacs (emacs) keybindings.
