Ruco: Simple Commandline Editor (think nano/pico) but awesome (and in Ruby).

by grosser —

Ruco is a simplistic/intuitive editor written test-driven in Ruby. It can be configured/extended via .ruco.rb and aims to feels like your desktop editor (e.g. shift+arrow-keys=selecting, ctrl+c/v/x, ctrl+s=save, ctrl+w=close, ctrl+r=replace and much more). Take it for a ride via gem install ruco.

Nice idea, but some more keys should work. Numpad Enter does nothing, backspace doesn’t delete across lines. I want to focus on the code, not my fingers, so for common keystrokes, I don’t want to have to remember which work and which don’t.

This is a great start! Kudos!

YOU HAVE WRITTEN A USABLE WRAPPER AROUND CURSES!

Please extract that out into a new gem. I beg of you. Please.
