since that was 10 hours ago, i presume you’ve already searched to discern tui means terminal user interface, … if that’s what your query was about.

mcedit came before your “MCEdit”.

same as bedrock linux came before bedrock version of minecraft for linux.

minecraft ((at least) twice) further confounded searches for the already obscure foss tools.

mc = midnight commander.

mcedit = midnight commander’s inbuilt text editor.

I often revisit the notion of making a linux distro with scant more than just mc (& mcedit).

Does kate have a tui mode?

… I may have to revisit it again, if it’s viable to use when simply ssh’d into another computer.

Hah. The text editor I wrote has that covered.

… ignore the bugs.

there’s an emacs mode for that

I think you have the skill to take this further, and make it interactive, clickable, explorable, even wiki’fied (or at least git’ified) to allow others to contribute too.

I noticed some were missing.

• BedrockLinux
• CRUX
• SLAX
• Tin Hat
• Hannah Montana
• KISS
• Carbs
• Exherbo
• … Okay, I’ll not exhaust this list with dozens more. ;)

Well done for including as many as did already. Was joyous seeing Slitaz made the lislt. :) A fave of the small distros.

*Ahem*

mcedit

under sung hero of easy tui text editors. [Has controls on screen.]

overlooked because it’s part of mc, and thus does not show up in the text editor categories in package managers and websearches?

could do a similar THGTTG bit for it. … or other parodies of other stuff… idk, my brain not conjuring such things with ease just now.

(And yes, I missed the reference, at first, too… Thought about responding with some contrived towel elaboration).

Which text editor do you use?

• Emacs mostly
• sometimes fin for configs and some other small file tweaks and when developing/testing fin,
• sometimes mcedit just because it’s an awesome under sung hero of easy tui text editors. … beats nano imo.
• sometimes leafpad, like when i need some intermediary between things that are being stubborn to paste between
• rare neovim, like when i’m trying to learn neovim, or trying something that only neovim has
• rare nano… there are probably still times…
• once kate to see what it was like, I liked it, then I added the features I liked to emacs.

It’s worse than the picture depicts. It’s not just the lovers, the elitists and the evangelists, it’s the sheer range of choice too, beyond the loudest.

Removes [your first step to be able to remedy a problem] your awareness of what’s going on around you in the real world. [Many people feel very unnerved by it because of this aspect.]

… I was going to share a link here to whatever first video I found of any of the many videos of thieves sneaking into people’s homes while they’re oblivious on VR, but someone has created a VR game called thief sneak, where the wearer of VR can play a thief sneaking into people’s homes, making it too hard to find the videos of that really happening. The potential for irony now, seems obvious…

Anyhoo, beyond that flooding-the-zone, plenty else goes wrong, born of that aspect, and more. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=VR+fails

I wonder if it’s more like VR.

People don’t like losing control over their technology in reality.

People want to retain control over their technology, like it’s a tool.

Virtual reality removes awareness and agency in the real world.

Same as agents do.

and gnome

I’ve never seen something get so heavily downvoted.

Well done.

That was impressive.

Poisoned the well on more than both sides. Hah.
