    I have the feeling these editors only make sense on US keyboards. Like “:” for what? This is not a primary sign anywhere, why not just control like a normal person, working on every keyboard?

        Thats what I mean, “/” too, makes no sense at all for search. Its Ctrl+F, Ctrl+S, Ctrl+O, Ctrl+X etc.

        Thats why nano makes more sense for all people, but I suppose vim could be edited to be like that?

          emacs is close to that besides all the ctrl+ combinations being nonsensical. the actual reason either arent very popular is the steep initial curve and the fact that most people dont even care about editing text that much and also the delayed gratification for the amount of time it takes to get used to. but once ure used to vim u kinda want vim everywhere
