nano is anything but "not powerful". i have yet to find someone doing complex editing stuff in vim that i cant do (i.e. with the same effort or less) in nano.

  In particular, unless I misunderstood the problem, removing the first n characters in nano works exactly as it would in vim. Regex replace "^...." with "". Or replace a selection with the output from a call to 'cut'.
