I do remember ":wq" and ":q!" for vi. It comes in handy if you're in an odd environment with only vi.
Never knew or cared about the nano vs vim debate, or realized it was such an important thing to some.
Nano is easy to use. Can easily search, find/replace and do things I want to do like jump to a specific line. I'm old and never learned vim beyond
:wqand always assumed the fanboys of it were young hipsters, the same who love ArchWHAT ELSE DO I USE
i use nano too
nano is a notepad.exe of GNU/Linux world
ok punch me in the face i dont care, im not memorizing 6 billion key combos just to exit fucking vim
Chill dude no one was punched for using notepad.exe
Ive gone through the pipeline of nano->micro->helix(with llm plugin).
And i made the keybinds in micro and now helix exactly like nano and disable modal editing, because fuck emulating vim. Very happy with it.
The worst part is being in a browser and hitting ctrl+w (find in nano) and ending up closing the tab 😭
Before nano, I was using pico, but somewhere along the line it got switched to nano in the distros.
Both Dolphin and Kate (especially with the File System Browser plugin) can open directories and files with sftp. So I'm trying to get into the habit of using that. But when I'm checking something out it seems natural to remain in the terminal and use nano, instead of switching to a file browser and navigating to the location to open the file.
I wish there was a way to open the file in Kate from the remote terminal. I can do it locally, of course, but I haven't found any way to do it remotely.
I figured out how to get kate working from the remote terminal.
A small script, so when I type:
on the remote terminal, it will open it on my desktop. I have to type my password each time because I'm wary of providing ssh key access to my desktop, with that key sitting on the server.
There's probably some but generally it's the opposite, youngsters get introduced to nano because it's default and the greybeards use vi because old and wise!
In your
~/.nanorcor/etc/nanorc, you can do either:set softwrap # to turn on wrappingor
unset softwrap # to turn wrapping off
