Try micro sometime. It’s a really nice halfway between nano and an IDE. You’ve got splits, mouse support, multiple cursors and more. Plus they provide binaries with no dependencies so I pull it down on any system I’m stuck with just vim and no package manager or perms to install stuff.
Same. Honestly, distros really ought to symlink pico/nano to micro and make it the new default.
It’s everything a normal person needs from emacs/vim without all the crazy keybinds or modes. It’s just as easy as nano to make a quick edit but it’s also just a as capable and featureful as vim with a load of plugins installed and configured. It sadly however cannot be used as a music player or torrent client (yet) unlike the Do Everything And Do It Okayish emacs. (I’m still angry about the RSI emacs caused me in university - I still rebind capslock to ctrl to this day).
Instructions on forum/support site:
“use the following command to edit the file: vi /path/to/config/file”
Me: replaces with nano before running

micro is one of the first things I install on a new distro. I can’t live without it now.
