I don’t do that much search and replace in any terminal based text editor to actually use that on a regular basis. If I need edits like that, I use a GUI text editor.
It shows a message which wastes valuable screen estate, especially on low resolution terminals, containing a message I have to read every single time because the keys are not in muscle memory, and never will because the bindings are stupid.
On systems I have control over the reaction to nano popping up is exiting, removing it, making sure the package system blocks reinstallation attempts, and go back to what I was initially doing in a sane editor.
I always get annoyed when I’m on some system and nano pops up and I need to figure out how to kill that thing.
Very intuitive - Ctrl + X… unlike vim.
gg/un2x?-d/like
FTFY
I’m not planning on googling that 😒.

gg- top of the file/un- find “un” place cursor at u2x- remove 2 characters?-- search backwards for the character-d/like- delete everything up until the characterslikeSee, intuitive!

Sure, I just hate moving from mouse to keyboard every few seconds as I code.
Nano literally tells you all the shortcuts to your face.

You have so much pent up emotion over a text editor. Life can be so much more my friend!
First day on linux?
You know the bell curve meme? I’m just beyond this.
