3 micro \- A modern and intuitive terminal-based text editor
11 Micro is a terminal-based text editor that aims to be easy to use and intuitive, while also taking advantage of the full capabilities
12 of modern terminals. It comes as one single, batteries-included, static binary with no dependencies.
14 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
15 enjoyable to use full time, whether you work in the terminal because you prefer it (like me), or because you need to (over ssh).

88 Micro's options can also be set via command line arguments for quick
89 adjustments. For real configuration, please use the settings.json
90 file (see 'help options').
96 Set `option` to `value` for this session
97 For example: `micro -syntax off file.c`
103 Micro uses $MICRO_CONFIG_HOME as the configuration directory.
104 If this environment variable is not set, it uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/micro instead.
105 If that environment variable is not set, it uses ~/.config/micro as the configuration directory.
106 In the documentation, we use ~/.config/micro to refer to the configuration directory
107 (even if it may in fact be somewhere else if you have set either of the above environment variables).
110 This manpage is intended only to serve as a quick guide to the invocation of
111 micro and is not intended to replace the full documentation included with micro
112 which can be accessed from within micro. Micro tells you what key combination to
113 press to get help in the lower right.
116 A comprehensive list of bugs will not be listed in this manpage. See the Github
117 page at \fBhttps://github.com/zyedidia/micro/issues\fP for a list of known bugs
118 and to report any newly encountered bugs you may find. We strive to correct
119 bugs as swiftly as possible.
