Mined (pronounced min-ed) is a terminal-based text editor providing extensive Unicode and CJK support, available under the GPL.

Mined is available for DOS, Windows and Unix systems, and is included in the SUSE, Debian, Cygwin and FreeBSD distributions.

It was the first editor that supported Unicode in a plain-text terminal (like xterm or rxvt).[citation needed]

[edit] Features

Mined is a modeless editor, with menus and mouse support, and WordStar like key bindings.

It fully supports Unicode, including combining characters and bi-directional text, as well as converting to and from a large number of legacy encodings.

Mined also contains functionality usually only found in word processors, such as smart quotes.
