What Hacker News says
2 sourcesOccasional mtm user here. I'm in no way associated with the original author of mtm, but several of his other projects are worth pointing out as well. A nice focus on simplicity.
An updated version of Plan 9's sam text editor for Unix: https://github.com/deadpixi/sam
tine, a clone of AmigaDOS ED editor: https://github.com/deadpixi/tine
libtmt, a tiny terminal emulation library (as I understand, this is the core of mtm as well): https://github.com/deadpixi/libtmt
and the eregex regular expressions library: https://github.com/deadpixi/ergex
EDIT: Also worth noting is tty8, another tiny terminal multiplexer. All it does is provide 8 virtual terminals and have 3 keybindings for control: https://github.com/dimkr/tty8
In Mtm: Perhaps the worlds smallest useful terminal multiplexer
