NAME

       micro - A modern and intuitive terminal-based text editor

SYNOPSIS

       micro [OPTIONS] [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION

       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.  It  comes  as  one  single,  batteries-included,
       static binary with no dependencies.

       As  the  name  indicates,  micro  aims  to be somewhat of a successor to the nano editor by being easy to
       install and use in a pinch, but micro also aims to be enjoyable to use full time, whether you work in the
       terminal because you prefer it (like me), or because you need to (over ssh).

CONFIGURATION

       Micro uses $MICRO_CONFIG_HOME as the configuration directory.  If this environment variable is  not  set,
       it uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/micro instead.  If that environment variable is not set, it uses ~/.config/micro
       as the  configuration  directory.   In  the  documentation,  we  use  ~/.config/micro  to  refer  to  the
       configuration  directory  (even  if  it may in fact be somewhere else if you have set either of the above
       environment variables).

NOTICE

       you what key combination to press to get help in the lower right.
