One +ive for nano is that it has general commands listed down below, by default.
So, as long as you understand ^ and M-, which you are expected to (idk why, ask sbd else), if you have been using Linux CLI, you will at least know how to exit.
Oh, and I just realised: it also says “[ Welcome to nano. For basic help, type Ctrl+G. ]”, where it explains what ^ and M- are.
So nano could be considered an accessibility program for people who are new to the GeNerally Used CLI, while vim is the thing you will configure for yourself when you know what you want.
Oh and I am definitely configuring it. I hate the hjkl for movement. I have arrow keys and I am going to use them. And I am not buying your 60% mechanicals no matter how much you make sure that 100% keyboards are not available with good keys.
Agree with your point on nano. I used it as a beginner too, but once you get past the basic typing something in, vim is king.
However, I disagree with the rest of your post. Hjkl are superior to arrow keys once you get used to them. I thought that day would never come, but I got used to it way quicker than initially anticipated.
As a 60% owner and 34 key ergo advocator, also disagree with the last point.
Im completely lost on Nano. Vim is SO much quicker.
I hate it so freaking much when I’m thrown into nano. I have to quickly exit and fix whatever made that happen.
