Mitos, the selection-first modal editor
Mitos is an open-source terminal text editor built around selections, multiple cursors, tree-sitter syntax awareness, and language-server tooling.
Field notes
The editor organizes its workflow around selections rather than treating them as a secondary interaction: users are meant to see an edit target before applying the edit, whether one selection or many. Its technical foundation combines tree-sitter motions and text objects with LSP features such as completion, diagnostics, formatting, rename, and code actions. The homepage also exposes documentation, releases, GitHub, and an MPL-2.0 license, while its tutorial is invoked with `ms --tutor`.
