GNU Nano gains optional modern keybindings – OSnews

I almost feel like this a somewhat pointless feature. It's almost easier to just learn the default ones as opposed to adding "-modernbindings" or creating an "enano" variant/copy.

What does "modern" mean? Emacs-like? Vim-like? Some other bastard system?

Read the Article. Modern like what most Graphical Editors Ship.

So "some other bastard system" it is, then.

That's a shame; a GNU project should be consistently GNU-like (i.e. adopt Emacs key bindings).

I like all editors to have as many diverse sets of keybindings as possible. Sadly most apps don't, which is a main reason why I never bothered to properly learn emacs bindings, as I wouldn't be able to use them anywhere else.
