nano friends rise up!
I too use nano.
alias nano="vi -y"Just tried it in my terminal and I couldn’t exit, lol
sorry, i didn't tell how to quit. it's
ctrl+qThanks, I finally got my access to the terminal back.
just when you thought you knew how to exit vim lol
also, this is vim's "easy" mode.
ln -sf /bin/nano /bin/vi
I like Nano. I think it is quite good. There, I said it.
Edit a file, writing a quick shell script or whatever in the terminal. Nano is great. I don't see any use in learning vim or emacs. If I need something more I'm going use a gui editor anyway.
Don't get triggered anyone it's just my preference
This is my thought process exactly.
I get it, for a power user, vim is probably incredibly powerful. However, I just want to edit text files. I don't want a text editor where I need a cheat sheet just to save my changes and quit.
Funny, that's what I hate about Nano. The key binds seem completely random to me and the programs solution to this is to display a cheatsheet on the screen
Control+W = "Where is," Control+O = "Overwrite", Control+X = "Exit."
Makes just enough sense to me, and those are really the only three binds I ever need for editing config files.
I don't want to come off like a vim hater, because I do believe it when people say it's powerful, but... I don't need powerful. I just need to edit text files.
Well hello there!
Looks like you only got one so far.
There are dozens of us!
nah you're wrong
Why do you all say that? There were no replies when I added mine so that's why I said what I said.
