This is a really great Project! Thanks for your work! I was looking for an easy-to use Terminal editor like this for ages. I've become somewhat familiar with Helix, while yedit from yori still lacks some very basic features, like syntax highlighting.

I would never have found turbo if someone hadn't pointed it out to me. If you're looking for a terminal text editor, it's very hard to find. To make this project a little more visible (and perhaps attract the attention of potential contributors), I would strongly recommend working on the topics you can assign in the about section of the repository. Most text editors I know have a text editor topic (I wonder why), some also have a 'code editor' topic (or even both). If you search for a text editor, you will search for a topic like this. You may rather drop some of the topics like linux, linux-console, utf-8etc. The main point of your projects is that it is a text-editor, so make that visible.

And again: This is a really great project, i really like it! Thank you!

Hi @maddes8cht!

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad to know that I was able to meet your expectations with Turbo, even though it is still missing essential features.

Thanks for the suggestion as well. I wasn't aware about the text-editor topic.

Cheers!
