Is Meow like helix or kakoune?

[rickalex21]

Looking to use a terminal based editor for simple config files editing.
I was wondering what is the closest thing to meow? I understand
eMacs is also terminal based.

Meow is very different from helix/kakoune, there are few commons. How about TUI emacs?

It is experimental but worth taking a look.

An experimental text-based UI framework for Emacs modeled after React - requires emacs 26.1 or newer

I mean, just use your emacs in terminal.

emacs -nw

Thanks. Quick question, any idea why this code affects meow-next "j" ?
Any time I type "j" it joins the line but I have that mapped to C-n...
Im using the default meow config.

(keymap-set global-map "C-n" '(lambda ()(interactive)(delete-indentation 1)))

meow-next just calls the command on C-n. Meow assumes you keep all default commands unchanged, and bind your keys according to the emacs key binding convention.

In other words I can't change my keys to something else because there will be conflict with meow?
I want "j" to go down and "k" to move up. I want "C-n" in insert mode to join lines.

I think you can change meow--kbd-forward-line to other kbd instead of C-n
