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

    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.
