Zed doesn't run in terminal, sadly.

That's the one reason I actually did end up using vim, even if Gui editors are theoretically highly superior.

It's always there in the terminal with me. So you know how it goes, you set up $awesome_ide on a separate screen or what have you; start messing in the terminal, and then for quick edits you grab vim anyway. And once you have the whole edit/test/edit/test loop going, well, vim is still there. And hours later you find out the whole IDE has just been sitting there the whole time.

So yeah, I'm not married to vim I don't think. A nicer terminal editor would always be welcome? And if it has vi(m) bindings to ease me into it? Who knows.

Perhaps Helix?

Zed needs a full helix bindings support and helix needs plugins. Both are so close!

Check out micro: https://micro-editor.github.io/

It's a terminal editor with mouse support and sane key bindings.

Not being in the terminal is a feature, not a bug imo. Terminal editors just can't compete with the GUI, so their only viable role is as an editor of last resort on systems where you don't have a GUI.
