You text editor
I search terminal text editor. I find e3 - https://packages.trisquel.org/aramo/e3
This package contains an editor you can call via the following links:
* e3em: Emacs-like key bindings
* e3vi: Vi-like key bindings
* e3pi: Pico-like key bindings
* e3ne: Nedit-like key bindings
* e3ws: Wordstar-like key bindings
e3 has the following advantages over other editors:
- it has no library dependencies
- one very small binary (only 10 kB) that gives you 5 editors

Thanks for mentioning e3, I had never heard of it.
I sometimes use emacs in a terminal ("emacs --no-window" or "emacs -nw"). Most often I use nano to edit configuration files. Nano is also available on very lightweight systems, like libreCMC. Nano is rather straightforward to use even if you never or rarely used it.
I also use vim through pacdiff in parabola. When doing a system upgrade, when pacman (the package manager used by parabola) sees that a configuration file on the current system, for which a newer version is to be applied, is different from the previous version in the repository, it does not update the configuration file and insteads puts the new one with a .pacnew extension (so that it is not used). pacdiff is a script that shows the list of .pacnew files and for each asks whether to keep the old or the new one, or merge automatically (I never tried) or view differences, and that opens vim with the terminal split with old version on left and new on right.

My favourite is Emacs. I use it a lot, but not only for text editing. "emacs -nw" is nearly the same than "emacs", which starts the GUI, that I usually use.
I am really interested in Emacs and learned a lot, which means a lot of fun to me. Emacs became my most often used program.
