I've used VS Code for a long time, but have recently grown weary of Microsoft's approach to OSS. I've checked out VS Codium which seems like it might be a great option.

When I need to use the terminal I use micro, it's very simple to use with the classic ctrl+s to save. Otherwise kate.

micro looks promising, i just use nano when i'm in the terminal lol

micro is easy. make sure to download xclip and, when you decide to keep micro, be sure to set it as your default. Ranger or another terminal editor can then opne your .md or .txt files in micro and saving them using micro is more reliable than using nano (which sometimes as a .saved after the name of your file)
