Yet another one I've never heard of before. Thank you so much for mentioning it!

You might have a look at LEO:

I used it extensively for some time to write big documentation. It is good.

But I'd guess that for most tasks, Emacs org-mode is the most powerful option.

Interesting. First time reading about it*. Were it not for you, this might have been completely off the radar. So thank you for mentioning it!

But I’d guess that for most tasks, Emacs org-mode is the most powerful option.

Yeah, it has been slowly growing on me 😜. But I would like to explore all other options before I fully commit.

You’ve already discovered the best editor. There’s no need to explore more. ;)

Hehe 😜. Perhaps the purpose of this exploration is to cement the idea that I'm already on the best 😂. We'll see 😉.

UPDATE: For posterity's sake, I'd like to reflect on the last couple of days.

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone that has contributed to the discussion! Were it not for your recommendations/suggestions/endorsements, then I might not have found a valid alternative.

Secondly, I've taken every single recommendation pretty seriously. As such, I've either installed them to see for myself if I was able to reproduce the functionality found in the gif found above. Or, didn't install them to begin with due to the suggested installation methods not passing through my (rather) strict policy on software. Regardless, in the end, I've only found two pieces of software that satisfied the bill: Kate and KDevelop.

KDevelop is pretty cool, but is more of an IDE rather than a text editor. As such, I've landed on Kate.

But, perhaps more than anything, I've come to really appreciate Emacs (and Neovim). And, perhaps more than ever, I feel ready to take them on 💪. Wish me luck 😊.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
