That sounds like Emacs. Wouldn't know though, given that I dislike vim too.

I would prefer ms-edit or nano if I have to edit text files from the terminal.

msedit ftw

Honestly after VSCode ate a good chunk of vim and emacs users I am not sure why something with similar UX but in terminal is not the standard yet in every *nix. Talk about sunken cost fallacy.

Bazzite recently started to ship msedit by default, which makes sense since a large portion of its userbase are first time Linux users.

It did make for quite a surprise for existing users when the msedit logo popped up in their KDE Plasma launchers though.
