The key selling point of Nano for me is displaying the core controls in the footer at all times
This used to be a fairly standard thing in the days of DOS, shame it is not more widespread - my memory for keyboard combinations is atrocious
- paol 6y agoAbsolutely. This is also why it's the right choice for the default editor: it lets anyone use it even if they've never seen it before.
- awiesenhofer 6y agoSeconded. I mostly use vim now, but especially for beginners discoverability - or at least displaying how to exit the current program - is an underrated feature.
- tharne 6y ago100%. When I need to remotely help less experienced users solve some issue on a remote server, those controls in footer are incredibly useful.
