My boy nano getting a drive by. He always there for me when I need to quickly edit a conf file

nanoalready.Let’s make
microthe standard!!Nah,
ededis, in fact, in the POSIX standard.https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/
Shell & Utilities -> Utilities -> ed
In fact, it looks like
exandsed, both child editors ofed, are baked into the standard. Nopico-family editors.
Why should micro be the standard over nano?
Because
nanohas unacceptable key combos, and no support for mouse.microhas sensible key combos, good syntax highlighting and supports mouse perfectly fine.Nano’s key combos are acceptable. Source: I accept them.
Why does nano always get such hate. Surely as a quick simple text editor it does the job?
so does vim, and better most of time
I liked it a lot until it started asking me for money every time I saved a file.
Now I use the built in text editor.
What
After the first 50 or so times you save a file in the Nano text editor, it will start giving you a popup asking to buy the full version.
This is extremely annoying every single time you save a file in Nano after it starts activating
This sounds like a prank to me, I’ve been using nano for all of my Linux life (10+y) and I’ve never seen this, are we talking about the same nano ?
https://nano-editor.org/ ?
Ed is the standard and only option.
EDITOR=shredtoo if you’re brave or having a rough day.Remember to put
#!/bin/rmat the top of every file, to teach people not to execute files they shouldn’t.
Please use “/usr/bin/env [command]”. Otherwise, it will not work on NixOS
Awesome. And now…
- Step 2: Tabs or spaces.
a tab is four spaces… press tab all you want…
Vertical or horizontal tabs?
Slazer here opening a new front in the tabs v space war
This “neutrality” is like giving equal voice to doctors and tobacco companies. They need to take the initiative for public health and declare the correct, ergonomic editor as international standard.
Which is clearly…
The pen
Yes, but only if it’s the editor I use /s
Of course. Why would you use the wrong editor?
