Nano lists its shortcuts in the window, like most modern GUI software. This is helpful for beginners, but also for me when I haven't had my morning coffee and suddenly find myself in a text editor. I enjoy using it, but I also like that it's discoverable from within the program; that strikes me as good design.
- mrmondo 10y agoOK interesting, for me I personally always feel lost in nano as for me it feels like it's a gui app trying to exist in a console, but that's me - thanks for replying to my question!
- niftich 10y agoFWIW any application launched from the shell that spawns its own full-screen context is a 'gui app trying to exist in a console', including its competitor editors; at least nano tells you now to use it once you're stuck inside it.
