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.

True, I remember the first time I used nano, I was like "Ctrl + O to save, huh?"

^S works!! ...As revealed by our kind palindromic friend on the other sibling comment! Why they don't just list it on the statusbar we would never know!

Probably because Ctrl+S is the shortcut for scroll lock on the terminal so it can be a bit problematic if you start using it when not in nano. It freezes the output and you have to use Ctrl+Q to unlock.

Makes sense! I should go check what my Zellijn configs are set to on the servers 🤔
