I&#x27;m looking for a good text editor that has a simple and quick scripting capability.  I work a lot with text sometimes so I&#x27;ll write some one off scripts sometimes to edit big files, but other files I&#x27;ll use Sublime Text to do some manipulations.  The problem is that it&#x27;s API is somewhat restrictive, like if I want a custom input without going in the command prompt then I lose access to the region that I selected.  I also have been using Visual Studio Code, but it looks to be a big effort to actually write a small plugin needing stuff like NPM and non-trivial config files.  If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them.<p>For context I use Linux.
