# Micro help text
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
### 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:
|
|
|
|
* keybindings: Gives a full list of the default keybindings as well as how to rebind them
|
|
* 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`.
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
Once you have built the editor, simply start it by running
|
|
`micro path/to/file.txt` or simply `micro` to open an empty buffer.
|
|
|
|
Micro also supports creating buffers from stdin:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ ifconfig | micro
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can move the cursor around with the arrow keys and mouse.
