So I’ve been trying out Microsoft Edit for sometime, and honestly… it feels refreshing to finally have a terminal-based editor with common keybindings.
We know terminal based code editors, like Vim, NeoVim, AstroVim, Vim, Emacs, etc etc. But, they have kinda wierd keybindings, and I found this "Microsoft Edit" a terminal based and have common keybindings! So I’d love to suggest adding a few coding-friendly features to make it a viable lightweight code editor, such as:
- Syntax highlighting for common programming languages, like C, C++, C#(?), Python, etc.
- Basic LSP integration if feasible, like open linked file, jump-to-definition, diagnostics, hover info, etc. (maybe like Clangd)
- Maybe optional auto-indent, line numbers, bracket matching, etc.
Not asking for a full IDE, but small things that would make Edit slightly better for quick coding, quick debugging, or doing something with text file quickly.
Thanks for considering this!
