VINE (Very INtuitive Editor) is a fast and intuitive terminal-based text editor based on "kilo", (https://github.com/antirez/kilo), a very small text editor. This version has a lot of improvements. For example more syntax highlighting, more intuitive shortcuts and even configuration files. While I try to keep the main spirit of Kilo intact, VINE does differ in many very fundamental ways, for example it does change the keyboard shortcuts a lot.
DISCLAIMER: This is not a UTF-8 text editor (in fact, VINE, will not even let you type non-ASCII characters), and I have no idea how to implement it. Sue me.

And before you ask: Yes I stole most of these from EMACS. Like they all say: Every non-modal terminal editor is destined to become EMACS lite.
The VINE configuration operates using a config file, ~/.vinerc.
Comments may be added, starting with " like in VimScript.
The following is a list of configuration options:
tab-size <int> Tab size
