This was the result of many hours worth of effort.

Full Editor

My take on a simplified version of Nano Combines all the previously listed line operations into a TUI editor.

You can navigate using the up and down arrow keys, type out lines next to the prompt and add then by hitting enter.

Useful Notes

I recommend 21 lines as the editor size!

Use !h for help CTRL + D to delete the current line CTRL + E to leave the editor

Requirements

You must have NCurses installed for the editor to work (the program won't compile without it!)

Known Caveats

  • Some menus require a double ENTER press
  • When using the Full Editor and leaving, if you then force close the program via CTRL + C it may cause your terminal to look weird.
    • Can be fixed by running your terminals respective clear command
  • Manually editing any changelog files will result in unexpected behaviour if done incorrectly. (In most cases Version Control wont work)
