The editor is a terminal‑based text editor that runs as a single static binary without external dependencies, making installation straightforward on any system with a compatible shell. Configuration is handled through a simple JSON file for options and key rebinding, while deeper customisation can be achieved with Lua scripts. It includes built‑in support for over 75 programming languages, offering multiple colour schemes and true‑color themes, and provides Sublime‑style multiple cursors for efficient editing.

Keybindings follow familiar conventions and can be remapped via a bindings file, and full mouse support allows clicking, dragging, and double‑ or triple‑click selection. A built‑in plugin manager lets users download and install Lua‑based extensions, and the editor can run an interactive shell in a split pane, enabling simultaneous coding and command‑line work.

The project is open source, actively maintained, and invites contributions through its GitHub repository and community chat. It targets developers who need a lightweight, configurable editor that works directly in the terminal while offering features typically found in graphical editors.
