This project is long unmaintained, I don't know if any fork continued it but I found this nice alternative with vi like bindings: https://github.com/paul-nameless/tg

Hi all,
Very sorry for not maintaining this project anymore. As @matheusfillipe mentioned there are some alternatives nowadays and https://github.com/paul-nameless/tg seems like the closest one to what ncTelegram is. So feel free to give that project a shot.
