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 mod-
ern terminals. It comes as one single, batteries-included, static bi-
nary 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).
Use Ctrl-q to quit, Ctrl-s to save, and Ctrl-g to open the in-editor
help menu.

CONFIGURATION
Micro uses $MICRO_CONFIG_HOME as the configuration directory. If this
environment variable is not set, it uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/micro in-
stead. If that environment variable is not set, it uses ~/.config/mi-
cro 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 environ-
ment variables).
NOTICE

tion of micro and is not intended to replace the full documentation in-
cluded with micro which can be accessed from within micro. Micro tells
you what key combination to press to get help in the lower right.
