Very clever... (lemmy.ml)

I'm trying out Obsidian for taking notes, and this made me laugh.

It's hard to hate nano, but IMHO there also isn't anything to like in particular either. It's basically a TUI notepad. It's there, it lets people edit files... and that's pretty much all there is to it.

You can use nano without having to read anything about nano. That might be the only thing that is better about it than vim, but it's a damn important thing.

I have zero patience when trying to make small adjustments to files, which is what my command line text editor should be for. Nano just has everything at the bottom in case you forget (I do, frequently) so the workflow is ridiculously streamlined for me

[-] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Absolutely. It also has whole-line cut/uncut which is a godsend when working with config files

[-] indepndnt@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Ironically, that's like the one thing I've learned to do in Vim.

That's what the people who like it like about it.

That’s it’s job

What else is there for it to do?

[-] folkrav@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I mean, why compare it with vim at all then. Apples and oranges...

[-] Spider89@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

Forget KISS, amirite.

I like nano because it has worked any time I needed it. I don't dislike nano because I'm not good enough at Linux to have ever run into its limitations

[-] locuester@lemmy.zip 27 points 2 years ago

nano gang checking in.

However, I’ve been forced over time to remember “:wq” to get unstuck should vim randomly appear.

[-] dukk@programming.dev 14 points 2 years ago

Alternatively, you can save a key and use :x (And :q! to quit without saving)

Yeah, that’s such a Vim user thing to say :P

I personally like nano but it's what I used first. So I learned the commands. Vim I still forget Everytime.

Pico gang reporting in.

i’ve only ever used nano in the early stages of a gentoo install, when it’s too early to install vim and import my dot files 😈
