Micro Text Editor
by Zachary Yedidia
A modern and intuitive terminal-based text editor
About
micro is a terminal-based text editor that aims to be easy to use and intuitive, while also taking advantage of the capabilities of modern terminals. It comes as a single, batteries-included, static binary with no dependencies; you can download and use it right now!
As its name indicates, micro aims to be somewhat of a successor to the nano editor by being easy to install and use. It strives to be enjoyable as a full-time editor for people who prefer to work in a terminal, or those who regularly edit files over SSH.

--socket=x11 - network
--share=network - inter-process communication (needed for X11)
--share=ipc - Wayland display
--socket=wayland - X11 display, only when Wayland is unavailable
--socket=fallback-x11 - access to /var/tmp
--filesystem=/var/tmp - access to /tmp
