No, not when ssh'ing to a server to manage it. Pulling in a Linux VM to get a simple text editor also makes no sense.
There is also nothing to integrate - it's a basic text editor for a terminal with no fancy features. It either edits text or it doesn't.
you gotta make sure that hotkeys get passed in every keyboard configuration. Ctrl, CTRL Shift, Ctrl Caps, Alt, how do tabs work? Etc..
That something looks simple but is actually difficult is an error we all make
This is a console application, it does not manage the keyboard directly and there is nothing windows specific here.
All existing editors do these things well already, nothing that required writing yet another editor.
Actually, there is Windows-specific stuff in the new EDIT. When built for Windows, it uses a one-foot-in-each-camp mixture of high-level and low-level console I/O, high-level for output and low-level for input.
