Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •

    +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!

    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.

    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 1 year ago

    Up down left and right?

    I guess ctrlx enter y ? But it has a prompt

    [–] cyanarchy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year 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 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

    [–] lemmyingly@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 7 points 1 year 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 1 year 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

    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.
