Changing from a distro that defaults to nano to another that defaults to vim… What to do other than installing nano and changing visudo?

    Micro doesn’t need to list the shortcuts because it uses similar shortcuts to notepad and you don’t have to do weird ctrl+x to exit but ctrl+q (for quit). Also copy and pasting isn’t a nightmare in it.

      Copy and paste in nano work just fine - no clue what you’re talking about. It uses standards established in the '80s - Ctrl-X for eXit being an even older standard - and clearly lists them visibly for a quick reminder.

        Yeah cutting text with ctrl+k instead of ctrl+x (because that’s exit) and copying with alt +6 instead of ctrl+c.

        Le

        Mao.

          In emacs ctrl+y is paste, which is weird to me because i’m pretty sure even in emacs the logic is that y stands for yank, but in every other program i’ve used so far yank means copy, not paste. In the end though i feel like muscle memory from other editors don’t bother me as much, and i can learn multiple at the same time. I started with evil mode for vim bindings for a short while, but now i’m diving into pure emacs bindings.
