+1 for nano. 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.
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
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.
I’ve been using Vim for years, cause I can’t figure out how to close it.
You came because it looked exciting…
You stayed because you couldn’t leave.
You open up a new session and reboot. Always works for me.
After you finally figure it out
EMACS is a great operating system, it only lacks a good editor.
eVil mode. It’s next on my TODO list to try, so I can go back to Emacs’ fantastic Haskell mode without knackering my left pinkie.
just learn a little elisp and remap to control to a sewing machine pedal :P

Maybe with facial-recognition-mode I can get it to map a grunty squint to ctrl.
I think someone did that with the old Microsoft ir gaming bar thing E: kinect
I love this
As a nano user, I fully agree.
Seriously. Nano is the best.
I
Seriously… it isn’t
Shift+ZZvi comment
o right there with ya bud.esc :wq!
I HATE that I am still in the habbit of doing esc :wq whenever I want, or need, to save and quit.
Just use notepad++ with wine like any normal person do
Notepadqq is a thing, you know.

I ONLY EDIT TEXT BY TOGGLING OUT ASCII CODES ON A ROW OF SWITCHES DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO MY PARALLEL PORT\n
I know your lying, because if you did, you would write a mix of capital and lower case letter, because one of the switches would control that bit
I COULD ONLY AFFORD SIX SWITCHES. BIT 5 HAS A PULLDOWN RESISTOR ON IT\n
This guy did it back in the 80s:

The only editor I need:
Create: printf “TEXT” > FILE
Add: printf “TEXT” >> FILE
No room for mistakes.
Should both be the same commands. Adding should be done by remembering previous contents, no other way is allowed.
Really the users of any other editor. We just see you as a bunch of nerds. But you build good stuff
Micro users: am i joke to you
(I use VSCode)
I want to use Micro so badly but my fingers only know Nano’s nonsense shortcut keys.
Also I couldn’t figure out how to make it use real tabs instead of a bunch of spaces. Not great for Python scripts.I’ve never had to worry about tabs vs spaces with Python. Makefile, on the other hand…
at least use vscodium. vscode isn’t free(libre) software.
Ik about vscodium, it doesn’t have all extensions
you can just download those via Microsoft’s website as vsix and import them to codium. and maybe add an issue/pr in extension’s repo so that it’s available on open-vsix next time. :)
I’ve actually been trying vscodium for a few days now, and it’s mostly been pretty good, though idk if I’ll bother switching to it just yet…
It’s okay, I’m used to being ignored.
Just use sed -i like God intended.
Nano, based.
If I use VI or VIM I’m going to have to kill the task because I just tried to exit and uggggghhhh why!?
:q! or :exit or :quit or ZZ…there’s lots of ways to quit Vim.
deleted by creator
and why should it be? vim and its bindings are extremely popular. should window managers all use alt+f4 to kill programs, just because its familiar to new users?
Yes.
Should word processors all use Ctrl-C to copy?
There’s really no point in criticizing something like vim. It has a history and a following, and no one is forcing you to use it. (Unless someone is, in which case you should be annoyed with them, not vim.)
Yes.
I just moved from Nano to Helix and love it. I added nnn and Zellij as well it works wonderful.
Tried Doom Emacs but Helix had a smaller learning curve it felt.
Oh, vim. I wish I knew how to quit you.
: q !
Only if you don’t want to save the file
:x saved the file and exits.
He said quit, not save and exit
ZQ
mcedit for life
Mcedit is great. It reminds me of the later versions of edit.com on DOS.
For me it’s like riding a bike, I’ve probably been using Norton Commander since I was 10. DOS 3.3, Windows 2 was just a gimmick.
Thought I was going to be the only one.
We need to :q! this war for good.
Those who don’t write history to drive are destined to repeat it.
