# Micro help text
|
|
|
|
Thank you for downloading and using micro.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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. Type `>help defaultkeys` to
|
|
get a quick, easy overview of the default hotkeys and what they do. For more info
|
|
on rebinding keys, see type `>help keybindings`
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
To use it, press CtrlE to access command mode and type in `help` followed by a topic.
|
|
Typing `help` followed by nothing will open this page.
|
|
|
|
Here are the possible help topics that you can read:
|
|
|
|
* tutorial: A brief tutorial which gives an overview of all the other help topics
|
|
* keybindings: Gives a full list of the default keybindings as well as how to rebind them
|
|
* defaultkeys: Gives a more straight-forward list of the hotkey commands and what they do.
|
|
* commands: Gives a list of all the commands and what they do
|
|
* options: Gives a list of all the options you can customize
|
|
* plugins: Explains how micro's plugin system works and how to create your own plugins
|
|
* colors: Explains micro's colorscheme and syntax highlighting engine and how to create your
|
|
own colorschemes or add new languages to the engine
|
|
|
|
For example, to open the help page on plugins you would press CtrlE and type `help plugins`.
|
|
|
|
I recommend looking at the `tutorial` help file because it is short for each section and
|
|
gives concrete examples of how to use the various configuration options in micro. However,
|
|
it does not give the in-depth documentation that the other topics provide.
