+1 for nano. I just need to change two parameters in a config file, not join a religion.
When the holy war comes, you'll be among the first sacrifices!
Ehh, that's fine. I'm not too psyched about living in whatever comes afterward.
Wouldn’t the first be Vimulation users? They are the Pretenders.
Blasphemers!
Amen!
Nano is only helpfull because of this nifty little info bar at the bottom.. No one can actually remember nano-shortcuts.
Consider micro. The shortcuts for editing test are what I expect them to be everywhere else I edit text.
Up down left and right?
I guess ctrlx enter y ? But it has a prompt
Nano Shortcuts are shit. Like CTRL+X to save. What the fuck??? Why not use CTRL+S for this?
Ctrl + X is eXit. Ctrl + S is Save without a prompt.
But Nano is a GNU utility what use Ctrl-O for Save.
No wonder I can never remember how to do anything in nano, at least vi's commands generally make sense
I recently switched to micro that is similar but with more sane key combos.
Now I just mistakenly use nano combos. Back to nano it is lol
I had to learn vi because it was installed everywhere and nano didn't exist yet. I always thought the holy war to be very silly, and even though many treat it as such, there are too many who take it seriously.
