TECO

TECO is a historic text editor and its accompanying macro language used on several early computer systems. It originated in the 1960s and was widely used on environments such as MIT's ITS and DEC-based systems, where its powerful but terse command set allowed extensive automation of editing tasks. TECO's keystrokes and scripting capabilities made it possible to define macros that could perform sophisticated text transformations, a concept later echoed in other programmable editors. The editor and its language are frequently cited as an influence on later editing tools, including EMACS, which began as a set of macros for TECO.
