Very intuitive - Ctrl + X... unlike vim.

I'm not planning on googling that ๐Ÿ˜’.

result: Very intuitive like vim.

  1. gg - top of the file
  2. /un - find โ€œunโ€ place cursor at u
  3. 2x - remove 2 characters
  4. ?- - search backwards for the character -
  5. d/like - delete everything up until the characters like

See, intuitive!

I don't do that much search and replace in any terminal based text editor to actually use that on a regular basis. If I need edits like that, I use a GUI text editor.

Sure, I just hate moving from mouse to keyboard every few seconds as I code.

Why not just using Micro? Ctrl + Q. Intuitive af

Yeah, sure, that works as well.

As long as I get to use modifier keys, almost anything is fine with me. We don't live in the 70s, that was 50 years ago. If backwards compatibility is what they're after, I'm sorry but I think they overdid it. Plus, you can just add them, the defaults don't need to be changed.
