Build non-terminal frontends with -d:moe.embedded and import moepkg/frontend. Embedded mode keeps Moe's editor engine and frontend-neutral input API available on Windows, while disabling Moe-owned clipboard integration by default. It also excludes Moe's terminal state, handler, renderer, and POSIX PTY backend from the build, and imports only Celina's platform-neutral value types instead of its POSIX terminal runtime. The embedding frontend owns the native clipboard and terminal UI; terminal commands report that the mode is unavailable.

moe is a recursive acronym for "moe is an optimal editor".

And one more, it comes from the Japanese slang 萌え(moe).
