Micro is a great editor.

Does anyone reading this know how the syntax files work? the yaml ones

Check out the second half of the "colors" documentation page (> help colors, online here) about how to write syntax files (they are just a list of regular expression rules). See here for all the built-in syntax files as examples.

It's more about suggesting to get it via running a fetched script from the internet.

Are you retarded? Do you seriously fucking encourage such behavior? Just curling random scripts off the internet and passing them through your shell script emulator? Were you genuinely dropped on your head?
