[LUG] VI alternative

 

Ok, i'm going to utter a few words that will possibly get me thrown in
the stocks for a few weeks and invited to wear whatever children throw
at me:

I *detest* VI.  And the other one.

Is there a good bash invoked alternative that works like notepad, with
a few keyboard shortcuts for saving or quitting, that will let me use
cursor keys to get around and edit text files?

It would be even better if i can apt-get install it too :)

can see him>
