Sbyte

An in-console byte editor. Work in progress, but fairly stable for basic work.

About

The environment was designed to feel and work as much like VIM as is reasonable for a byte editor. (hjkl directional controls, numerical register, a command line with its own pseudo-language as well as modes [visual, inser t, append, replace])
