Great. Thank you :)

One question:

In documentation I read that on linux OS clipboard support requires the 'xclip' or 'xsel' commands to be installed if you want to use clipboard, otherwise, micro will use an internal clipboard for copy and paste, but it won't work with external applications.

Do you think would be a smart idea to put xclip under running dependencies in case you don't already have xclip installed on OS?

I recently saw that micro-1.1.3 was out.

However we can't build it with Solbuild as the build process does not have internet access.

So my question is should we use prebuilds packages from now ? Or is there a way to sort out the internet thing :)
