Diakonos

The console text editor with a key mapping you practically already know. Easy to use and easy to configure, but potent in the hands of power users.

Diakonos about info
Diakonos is a customizable, usable curses-based (console-based, or text-based) text editor. It was developed with the intention of being easier to configure and use than Emacs, more powerful than Pico and Nano, and not as cryptic as vi or ex.

Diakonos uses the common Macintosh/Windows keyboard shortcuts - Ctrl-C to copy, Ctrl-V to paste, Ctrl-O to open a file, Ctrl-S to save and so on, instead of the more idiosyncratic key combinations used by most other console-based editors.
