ve editor

ve is a vi(m) like editor which runs inside your terminal, using ncurses. At present, it is quite simple, with the following features:

• Create and open text files for editing
• Navigate through files with arrow keys (in normal and insert mode) as well as with hjkl (j and k are swapped because I wanted to)
• Enter insert mode with 'i', go back to normal mode with ESC, and enter commands with ':'
• Insert mode works in the way you'd expect
• Scroll through large files
• Saving and quitting in the same way as Vim
• Delimiter/action-based undo
• Line number counter
