+As the name indicates, micro aims to be somewhat of a successor to the nano editor by being easy to install and use in a pinch, but micro also aims to be
+enjoyable to use full time, whether you work in the terminal because you prefer it (like me), or because you need to (over ssh).

 Here is a picture of micro editing its source code.

-## Features
+# Features

- Easy to use and install.
- No dependencies or external files are needed — just the binary you can download further down the page.
- Multiple cursors.
- Common keybindings (<kbd>Ctrl-s</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl-c</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl-v</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl-z</kbd>, …).
-  - Keybindings can be rebound to your liking.
- Sane defaults.
-  - You shouldn't have to configure much out of the box (and it is extremely easy to configure).
- Splits and tabs.
- nano-like menu to help you remember the keybindings.
- Extremely good mouse support.
-  - This means mouse dragging to create a selection, double click to select by word, and triple click to select by line.
- Cross-platform (it should work on all the platforms Go runs on).
-  - Note that while Windows is supported Mingw/Cygwin is not (see below).
- Plugin system (plugins are written in Lua).
-  - micro has a built-in plugin manager to automatically install, remove, and update plugins.
- Built-in diff gutter.
- Simple autocompletion.
- Persistent undo.
- Automatic linting and error notifications.
- Syntax highlighting for over [130 languages](runtime/syntax).
- Color scheme support.
-  - By default, micro comes with 16, 256, and true color themes.
- True color support (set the `MICRO_TRUECOLOR` environment variable to 1 to enable it).
- Copy and paste with the system clipboard.
- Small and simple.
- Easily configurable.
- Macros.
- Common editor features such as undo/redo, line numbers, Unicode support, soft wrapping, …

-## Installation
+Although not yet implemented, I hope to add more features such as autocompletion ([#174](https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/issues/174)) or a tree view ([#249](https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/issues/249)) in the future.
+
+# Installation

 To install micro, you can download a [prebuilt binary](https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/releases), or you can build it from source.

 ### Prebuilt binaries

 All you need to install micro is one file, the binary itself. It's as simple as that!

 Download the binary from the [releases](https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/releases) page.

+On that page you'll see the nightly release, which contains binaries for micro which are built every night,
+and you'll see all the stable releases with the corresponding binaries.
+
+If you'd like to see more information after installing micro, run `micro -version`.

 ### Building from source

 If your operating system does not have a binary release, but does run Go, you can build from source.

-Make sure that you have Go version 1.11 or greater and Go modules are enabled.
+Make sure that you have Go version 1.5 or greater (Go 1.4 will work if your version supports CGO) and that your `GOPATH` env variable is set (I recommend setting it to `~/go` if you don't have one).

 ```
-git clone https://github.com/zyedidia/micro
-cd micro
-make build
-sudo mv micro /usr/local/bin # optional
+go get -d github.com/zyedidia/micro/cmd/micro
+cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/zyedidia/micro
+make install
 ```

-The binary will be placed in the current directory and can be moved to
-anywhere you like (for example `/usr/local/bin`).
+The binary will then be installed to `$GOPATH/bin` (or your `$GOBIN`).

-The command `make install` will install the binary to `$GOPATH/bin` or `$GOBIN`.
+Please make sure that when you are working with micro's code, you are working on your `GOPATH`.

-You can install directly with `go get` (`go get github.com/zyedidia/micro/cmd/micro`) but this isn't
-recommended because it doesn't build micro with version information (necessary for the plugin manager),
-and doesn't disable debug mode.

-### Fully static binary
+### MacOS terminal

-By default, the micro binary will dynamically link with core system libraries (this is generally
-recommended for security and portability). However, there is a fully static prebuilt binary that
-is provided for amd64 as `linux-static.tar.gz`, and to build a fully static binary from source, run
-
-```
-CGO_ENABLED=0 make build
-```
-
-### macOS terminal
-
-If you are using macOS, you should consider using [iTerm2](http://iterm2.com/) instead of the default terminal (Terminal.app). The iTerm2 terminal has much better mouse support as well as better handling of key events. For best keybinding behavior, choose `xterm defaults` under `Preferences->Profiles->Keys->Presets...`, and select `Esc+` for `Left Option Key` in the same menu. The newest versions also support true color.
-
-If you still insist on using the default Mac terminal, be sure to set `Use Option key as Meta key` under
-`Preferences->Profiles->Keyboard` to use <kbd>option</kbd> as <kbd>alt</kbd>.

 As the name indicates, micro aims to be somewhat of a successor to the nano editor by being easy to install and use in a pinch, but micro also aims to be
 enjoyable to use full time, whether you work in the terminal because you prefer it (like me), or because you need to (over ssh).

 .SH CONFIGURATION

-Micro uses $MICRO_CONFIG_HOME as the configuration directory.
-If this environment variable is not set, it uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/micro instead.
-If that environment variable is not set, it uses ~/.config/micro as the configuration directory.
-In the documentation, we use ~/.config/micro to refer to the configuration directory
-(even if it may in fact be somewhere else if you have set either of the above environment variables).
+Micro uses
+\fI$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/micro\fR
+for configuration by default. If it is not set, micro uses ~/.config/micro.
+Two main configuration files are settings.json, containing the user's
+settings, and bindings.json, containing the user's custom keybindings.
+
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+Micro's behaviour can be changed by setting environment variables, of which there is currently only one:
+\fIMICRO_TRUECOLOR\fR.
+When MICRO_TRUECOLOR is set to 1, micro will attempt to treat your terminal as a true-color terminal and will be able to make full use of the true-color colorschemes that are included with micro. If MICRO_TRUECOLOR is not set or is set to 0, then micro will only make use of 256 color features and will internally map true-color colorschemes to the nearest colors available. For more information see micro's documentation.

+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
