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.

Wait, people are still using nano?

People who only use the terminal to edit a few config files are usually fine with nano. Even more so with these new keybindings.

For more involved edits an editor like VSCode is usually more useful anyway.

For me vim works well, but I've already taken the time to learn its basic usage.

I've never used anything else since I met Linux in 2018

Nano rock!!!, it get the jobs done and doesn't make everything difficult for no reason

Ships with Gentoo by default, since you actually need a nongraphical editor there and nano is easier to learn than vi or emacs.

I started with vi, and I still prefer to use nano.
