micro(1) General Commands Manual micro(1) NAME micro - A modern and intuitive terminal-based text editor SYNOPSIS micro [OPTIONS] [FILE]... DESCRIPTION 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 mod- ern terminals. It comes as one single, batteries-included, static bi- nary with no dependencies. As the name indicates, micro aims to be somewhat of a successor to the nano editor by being easy to install and use in a pinch, but micro also aims to be enjoyable to use full time, whether you work in the terminal because you prefer it (like me), or because you need to (over ssh). Use Ctrl-q to quit, Ctrl-s to save, and Ctrl-g to open the in-editor help menu. OPTIONS -clean Cleans the configuration directory -config-dir dir Specify a custom location for the configuration directory [FILE]:LINE:COL Specify a line and column to start the cursor at when opening a buffer -options Show all option help -debug Enable debug mode (enables logging to ./log.txt) -version Show the version number and information Micro's plugins can be managed at the command line with the following commands. -plugin remove [PLUGIN]... Remove plugin(s) -plugin update [PLUGIN]... Update plugin(s) (if no argument is given, updates all plugins) -plugin search [PLUGIN]... Search for a plugin -plugin list List installed plugins -plugin available List available plugins Micro's options can also be set via command line arguments for quick adjustments. For real configuration, please use the settings.json file (see 'help options'). -option value Set `option` to `value` for this session For example: `micro -syntax off file.c` CONFIGURATION Micro uses $MICRO_CONFIG_HOME as the configuration directory. If this environment variable is not set, it uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/micro in- stead. If that environment variable is not set, it uses ~/.config/mi- cro as the configuration directory. In the documentation, we use ~/.config/micro to refer to the configuration directory (even if it may in fact be somewhere else if you have set either of the above environ- ment variables). NOTICE This manpage is intended only to serve as a quick guide to the invoca- tion of micro and is not intended to replace the full documentation in- cluded with micro which can be accessed from within micro. Micro tells you what key combination to press to get help in the lower right. BUGS A comprehensive list of bugs will not be listed in this manpage. See the Github page at https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/issues for a list of known bugs and to report any newly encountered bugs you may find. We strive to correct bugs as swiftly as possible.
