Dear All,

I recently found out about mg, which is quite an old stand-alone emacs-like text editor which a license which I believe would be compatible for a-shell.

Micro (GNU) Emacs-like text editor: https://github.com/troglobit/mg

I think this could be a nice thing to make available for those who need an editor with emacs key-bindings. From the description:

Mg is a Micro Emacs clone created in 1987, based on the original MicroEMACS v30 released by Dave Conroy in 1985. The name, "Micro GNU Emacs", was disputed early on by the FSF, so today it simply goes by mg. This software is fully free and in the public domain.

The intention is to be a small, fast, and portable Emacs-like editor for users who cannot, or do not want to, run the real Emacs for one reason or another. Compatibility with GNU Emacs is key for Mg, separating it from other ErsatzEmacs clones, because there should never be any reason to learn more than one Emacs flavor.

It exists widely in other distributions.
