Nano is the only one I use because it's the only one I know how to use

[–] anders@rytter.me 6 points 1 year ago

@butter same here. Vim is too complicated for me.

[–] skycat@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Same. I still don't know how to quit vim

[–] Doubleplusgoodman@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you're not using ed you're actually using bloat just fyi.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

May I suggest: Helix . I used vim for years, but I've been enjoying the switch to this.

[–] cyclohexane@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How does it compare to vim?

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Its better, has first-class multi-cursor support, and you don't need to install any plugins to get it usable. Also has LSP support for pretty much every language. IMO its a true successor to vim, which is so old now its like a leaky roof that needs constant repairs (in the form of plugins).

I use my right to remain silent upon this question.

Nano is only better in having a lower learning curve, and still being sufficient for most people just wanting to get the job done.

Vim is way more capable and feature rich (especially after you extend with plugins), much more satisfying to use once you get the hang of it, and can be much faster

[–] anders@rytter.me 2 points 1 year ago

@cyclohexane true. i never spent the time to learn vim.

[–] k_o_t@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

my brother in christ, just use whatever you want, get a life 😭

[–] grin@fika.grin.hu 1 points 8 months ago

@anders @k_o_t I tried but it's sold out.

[–] inkwiwtba@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you can really get the job done sticking to sed, echo, cat and grep. an even bigger brain solution

[–] nanook@friendica.eskimo.com 1 points 1 year ago

@inkwiwtba @anders I prefer nvi personally.

[–] nickapos@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You should use what you feel most comfortable with. Also it is not a binary choice. I use vim and vscode and emacs. Vim is already available in all remote systems which is why it is my first choice when I am debugging something. I use vscode as an IDE and emacs as a general purpose editor. Haven’t used nano for ages but it is a nice editor nevertheless.

[–] anders@rytter.me 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@nickapos You use Vim and Emacs 😱😱 I thought there is a war between the two!!??

Just kidding 😀

[–] nickapos@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I must have a split personality 🤓

[–] anders@rytter.me 2 points 1 year ago

@nickapos
Haha yeah you must 😂

[–] tokenwizard@venera.social 2 points 1 year ago

@anders I always go with nano as, to me, it is easier to use and powerful enough for my needs. What features of vim make it seem "better" to anyone?

[–] finickydesert@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yes, it is for certain tasks

[–] nour@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which ones? (Sincere question, as I just use Vim for everything.)

[–] finickydesert@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

For someone who doesn't have strong vim magic ability (esc !wq vs !q or !w) just adding a few lines to .conf i mean ^x (shift x) enter enter is a bit easier.

[–] elijahnelson@friendica.eskimo.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The comparison between Nano and Vim depends on individual preferences and specific use cases. Both Nano and Vim are popular text editors but have different features mapquest driving directions and design philosophies.

[–] ivonaroma@feddit.it 1 points 8 months ago

Well, if you want a no-frills editor for basic tasks like editing configuration files, Nano is probably a better choice due to its simplicity. However, if you're a developer or power user who needs advanced features, extensive customization on the site, and plugin support, Vim will likely be a better long-term option despite its steeper learning curve.

Yes. Thank you for providing this information. Good fortune. I also blog, and I'd really like more people to read my most recent article about rooftop snipers .

It's fantastic that such knowledge is widely disseminated. When it comes to action games, in addition to shooting, tank games are also a topic that is noticed and mentioned a lot. That's why rocket bot royale is a tank game that is getting more and more sought after by players. In this game, you will control your tank moving on an island, fighting against the enemies.

[–] grin@fika.grin.hu 1 points 8 months ago

@gapsuhorki It's not a blog, it's actually an arms dealer central webpage, we sell firearms for 18+ virgins fighting for illicit selling of software copies. Interested?

[–] nanook@friendica.eskimo.com 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Mostly things like yank cut-n-paste, and it deals properly with international two-byte character sets, but nvi has those same advantages PLUS has fully implemented ex command set. Nano is fine for quick notes or sending an e-mail but not so good for editing large sets of code. Anyway, he probably is thinking of another chick because "she" looks too much like a "he".
