MTE - Maximus Text Editor

A small terminal based text editor tuned on my own preferences.

It doesn't aim at supporting many usecases, nor being super configurable. It's made to support my own usecase and taste, so most stuff is hardcoded.

You can obviously change the code to suit your needs, as long as you comply with the provided license.

Note: only tested on linux

Note: currently not localized, Italian only
