+micro is a terminal-based text editor that aims to be easy to use
+and intuitive, while also taking advantage of the capabilities
+of modern terminals.
+
+As its name indicates, micro aims to be somewhat of a
+successor to the nano editor by being easy to install and use.
+It strives to be enjoyable as a full-time editor for people who
+prefer to work in a terminal, or those who regularly edit files
+over SSH.
+
+Optional Dependencies
+----------------------
+On Linux, clipboard support requires:
+
+ On X11, the xclip or xsel commands (Available on SBo)
+ On Wayland, the wl-clipboard command
+
+If you don't have these commands, micro will use an internal
+clipboard for copy and paste, but it won't work with
+external applications.
