This text editor runs on Linux and handles multilingual files with ease. It was originally written for AmigaDOS and was inspired by TurboText editor.

three user interfaces: control keystrokes, command line, and menus; keystrokes and menus are completely configurable;
full support for UTF-8 files, including multiple-column characters;
the number of documents and clips, the dimensions of the display, and the file/line lengths are limited only by the integer size of the machine;
simple scripting language where scripts can be generated via an idiotproof record/play method;
unlimited undo/redo capability (can be disabled with a command);
automatic preferences system based on the extension of the file name being edited;
a file requester with completion features for easy file retrieval;
extended regular expression search and replace a la emacs and vi;
editing of binary files;
SyntaxHighlighting based on JOE and using the same definition format.
Good integration with shell; suspend with Ctrl-Z, pipe selected block through external command with Alt-T
