+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!

[-] nyahlathotep@sh.itjust.works 29 points 11 months ago

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!

[-] skyin7@feddit.de 25 points 11 months ago

Amen!

Nano is only helpfull because of this nifty little info bar at the bottom.. No one can actually remember nano-shortcuts.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Up down left and right?

I guess ctrlx enter y ? But it has a prompt

[-] cyanarchy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Consider micro. The shortcuts for editing test are what I expect them to be everywhere else I edit text.

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago

Nano Shortcuts are shit. Like CTRL+X to save. What the fuck??? Why not use CTRL+S for this?

[-] lemmyingly@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Ctrl + X is eXit. Ctrl + S is Save without a prompt.

I just need to change two parameters in a config file, not join a religion.

But Nano is a GNU utility what use Ctrl-O for Save.

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 11 months ago

No wonder I can never remember how to do anything in nano, at least vi's commands generally make sense

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

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

[-] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 11 months ago

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.
