> Sometimes do use nano
After learning vim, I couldn't stand using nano. It seemed like the worst of both worlds. No efficient keybindings like vim, and no mouse support like other conventional text-areas.
Hearing/reading you say that you sometimes use nano made me curious of why and now I see that there seems to actually be quite a few features. I see it has macros, autocomplete, mouse support, autoindent, multiple buffers, editing keybindings to e.g. delete word-wise, linting support, etc.
I never knew... and totally misjudged it as a very basic text editor.
It's still basic when compared with vim or emacs, but now I hold it in far higher regard than Windows Notepad at least.
I kind of feel like that time many years ago I found out that sed had more than just s///.
