I've been using Joe's Own Editor the past couple of years when I want to do basic view/editing in terminal (I use Sublime Text for development). Really like it because it provides syntax highlighting for a ton of file types, let's me get around with arrow keys/mouse, and gives me an easy way to look up keyboard commands I may have forgotten.

You can install it with your OS's package management system, and there's a Windows installer on the site.

I did adjust some of the default settings, which are configured and well documented in a .joerc file.
