Introduction to mined
Mined is a powerful text editor with a comprehensive and easy-to-use
user interface and fast, small-footprint behaviour.
It was the first editor that provided Unicode support in a
plain-text terminal.
It now has both extensive Unicode and CJK support offering many
specific features and covering special cases that other editors
are not aware of (like auto-detection features and automatic handling
of terminal variations, or Han character information).
And basically, it is an editor tailored to efficient editing
of plain text documents and programs, with features and interactive
behaviour designed for this purpose.
See Mined Design Principles for some further
comments on the approach of making mined a useful editing tool.
See Overview of features for a more
comprehensive listing of mined features.
