Edit

A simple editor for simple needs.

This editor pays homage to the classic MS-DOS Editor, but with a modern interface and input controls similar to VS Code. The goal is to provide an accessible editor that even users largely unfamiliar with terminals can easily use.

Microsoft is loser so forked it to add syntax highlighting for my favorite programming language python
