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.
*Press CtrlQ to quit, and CtrlS to save.*
If you want to see all the keybindings press CtrlE and type `help keybindings`.
See the next section for more information about documentation and help.
### Quick-start
Press CtrlQ to quit, and CtrlS to save. Press CtrlE to start typing commands
and you can see which commands are available by pressing tab, or by
viewing the help topic `> help commands`. When I write `> ...` I mean press
CtrlE and then type whatever is there.
Move the cursor around with the mouse or the arrow keys.
If the colorscheme doesn't look good, you can change it with `> set colorscheme ...`.
You can press tab to see the available colorschemes, or see more information with
`> help colors`.
Press CtrlW to move between splits, and type `> vsplit filename` or `> hsplit filename`
to open a new split.
### Accessing more help
Micro has a built-in help system much like Vim's (although less extensive).
