.SH DESCRIPTION
( Copied from the README file. )
Micro is a terminal-based text editor that aims to be easy to use and intuitive, while also taking advantage of the full capabilities
of modern terminals. It comes as one single, batteries-included, static binary with no dependencies.

enjoyable to use full time, whether you work in the terminal because you prefer it (like me), or because you need to (over ssh).

When MICRO_TRUE_COLOR 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_TRUE_COLOR 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.
.SH CONFIGURATION
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.
