I love that vi lost this part of the propaganda battle versus Emacs, when Emacs has the unintuitive ^C^X exit sequence. Maybe it also had a file menu?

- ok_dad 3y agoI still use nano! The nice part about it is that it shows the command keys at the bottom. I forget what it is to exit, but I don’t need to remember!
- IggleSniggle 3y agoAs it should be. I miss Windows 95 for stuff like this
- rdlw 3y agoNano is very supportive, any time I find myself using it it knows that what I need most is to "Exit" and "Get Help"

- btdmaster 3y agoI was a bit confused when you mentioned this, but then I realised the actual sequence is ^X^C. It's because ctrl-X is a sort of metacharacter, and ctrl-C is used for the standard INT signal you know from other programs. And to be fair, GTK emacs has File->Quit as well (which helpfully reminds you you could use C-x C-c instead!).
