<h2>About</h2>
</div>
<p>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, and you can download and use it right now.</p>
<p>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).</p>

<p>Micro has a built-in help system which you can access by pressing <code>Ctrl-E</code> and typing <code>help topic</code>. You can also press <code>Ctrl-G</code> to open the main help file. The help files are also viewable online in the GitHub repository.</p>
<p>I also recommend reading the <a href="https://github.com/micro-editor/micro/tree/master/runtime/help/tutorial.md">tutorial</a> for
a brief introduction to the more powerful configuration features micro offers.</p>

<h2>FAQs</h2>
</div>
<h4>Does micro support Vi keybindings?</h4>
<p>Currently micro does not have any sort of Vim emulation. However, this is the next major feature that is planned, so stay tuned.</p>
<br>
<h4>Can micro support the Command key on MacOS?</h4>
<p>Unfortunately terminals don't send key events for the Command key so it's impossible for micro to make keybindings for it. One solution in iTerm2 is in 'Preferences-&gt;Keys-&gt;Remap Modifiers' and select 'Remap left command key to control.' Note that command will no longer be usable in iTerm2 for terminal keybindings (such as command-q to quit, or command-d to split).</p>
<br>
<h4>Can I contribute even if I don't know Go?</h4>
<p>Yes! You can help by creating colorschemes or syntax files or by improving the documentation. If you know Lua you can write plugins.</p>
<br>
<h4>Syntax highlighting isn't working well. I only see a few colors/no colors</h4>
<p>Your <code>TERM</code> variable probably indicates that your terminal only supports 16 colors. You can change it like so to enable 256 colors: <code>$ export TERM=xterm-256color</code>. Alternatively you can use one of micro's 16 color colorschemes by running <code>> set colorscheme simple</code>.
