Nah, I’m looking for a nice text editor, not a full on IDE. Something I can quickly open to change config files and stuff that has good formatting and can also auto detect the formating. By the time vscode boots up I have gotten bored and done the changes in nano.
Have you tried Bluefish? I started using it recently for editing a web app, and I really like it. It loads quite quickly on my laptop, and it’s got a mini file browser on the left hand side that lets you open files directly with a double click. Handy for when you need to edit a few files at a time :)
How about Vscodium?

Micro is a quite nice replacement for Nano: https://micro-editor.github.io/ but Notepadqq looks interesting too.
Kate is great!

I use Kate for this, but I agree there is an even better simplicity and speed with Notepad++.
