Why does nano always get such hate. Surely as a quick simple text editor it does the job?
so does vim, and better most of time
I liked it a lot until it started asking me for money every time I saved a file.
Now I use the built in text editor.
What
After the first 50 or so times you save a file in the Nano text editor, it will start giving you a popup asking to buy the full version.
This is extremely annoying every single time you save a file in Nano after it starts activating
This sounds like a prank to me, I’ve been using nano for all of my Linux life (10+y) and I’ve never seen this, are we talking about the same nano ?
https://nano-editor.org/ ?Fuck i was thinking of Sublime
I don’t think I’ve used nano, looks like Vim
Nano actually shows you the shortcuts all of the time
What distro do you use?
Awesome. And now…
- Step 2: Tabs or spaces.
a tab is four spaces… press tab all you want…
Vertical or horizontal tabs?
Slazer here opening a new front in the tabs v space war
New?
More: Tabs or buffers.
4 spaces by default for indentation unless
.editorconfigsays otherwise.
LOL, I prefer nano.
You’re in luck, it’s a designated neutral editor
Hello, EU police?
You pervert!
There’s always a smaller editor: pico
Defaulting to nano without consent
This is the real crime
Okay. Proceed to set up ‘ed’ as default
I’m okay with that
I was laughing out loud until I read the part on VS Code or Google Docs to “avoid ideological tensions”.
Clearly Herve Beraud is a closed source advocate, total rage bait! /s
Vim has long since won the war. I say that as an emacs user who is familiar with using vim because it’s installed by default on the vast majority of computers I interact with nowadays
nano for lyfe! what’s the fine for a “class c user experience violation”?
Banishment to Windows.
That’s torture and a human rights violation!
eww, ok, I’ll switch to vim
You can still use nano. Just don’t make it the default for your distro or you’ll lose your Linux license.
ok, officer. thank you, officer. Am I free to go?
If you can figure out how to exit, sure
<esc>:wq!
Off you go, have a nanice day!
steals your escape key
Now, try to exit vim.@somerandomperson @madjo
Ctrl-c ZQ
I don’t use Arch btw.
Time to burn Europe. This injustice will not stand.
ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR
You don’t need ed, emacs can emulate it.
Freedom of religion is a fundamental human right. Evangelization should not be punished. I protest (:
European Commision’s laptops run on Windows 11 and then they need to pay for AWS to do any kind of meanigful work… And then some devs still pick Windows to run on AWS anyway!
I’m glad a peace was found, but go vim!
No Vim! Vi only! Yes I know if you type “vi filename.txt” you get Vim. That’s not the point. Vi is nearly 50 years old. Have some respect.
I think the distinction is trivial. Or trivimial?
No mention of ms edit? I feel this won’t last.
