Nano ftw
And micro for the future
I'm too used to nano, switching for micro for a while I was constantly using nano key combos and making a mess of things.
Stockholm syndrome from key combos lol
Makes sense, though you can rebind shortcuts in micro

It would just be a bit funny since sensible keybindings was one of the reasons I originally switched. Turns out I had already used nano too long for me to actually want that feature hah.
Haha very true, if micro was the default, many people coming from common GUI apps would be like “okay, ctrl z to undo” and “ctrl s to save” “wow, it actually worked”
Absolutely. It would make sense as the default instead of nano (or vim of all things). Would help those who are just starting with Linux.
Def! I sort of wish the RFC committee would push standards for smart cross-platform shortcuts. Of course people with muscle memory in a different standard should be able to change for their usage, but even GUI apps like vscode, sublime text, IntelliJ, etc could benefit from standardization there
Nano has supported Ctrl+S to save for a while.
True, but one keyboard shortcut doesn’t make for an easy transition. Unless nano is has implemented or is planning on implementing on ctrl o,z,f,y,q etc
