Diakonos is a customizable, usable console-based text editor. I made Diakonos with the intention of being easier to configure and use than emacs, more powerful than pico and nano, and not as cryptic as vi or ex.

Diakonos is a Ruby program, and hence needs Ruby installed.

Here are some key features of "Diakonos":
macro recording and playback
multi-element clipboard
multi-level undo
parsed ("smart") indentation
customizable multilingual syntax highlighting, with support for embedded languages (e.g. PHP, eRuby, Javascript)
bookmarking, named and unnamed
regular expression searching
a customizable status line
limited ctags support

What's New in This Release:
The ability to use ';' in keychains has been added.
A printKeychain command has been added.
Some KDE 3.5 konsole keychains for common keys have been added to the default configuration.
A use_magic_file setting has been added.
A clipboard/selected diff key binding has been added.
