[β] GreenMario@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago (2 children) Nano is pretty good if you're in a terminal. Used to use vim for ssh related stuff but since nano added syntax highlights I didn't go back. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] glibg10b@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children) Nano's only appeal is that it's beginner-friendly, but you already know Vim, so why switch? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [β] asuka@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Because Nano just works.

A tool to do quick edits without needing to learn specific keystrokes for everything you want to do. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] glibg10b@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) @GreenMario@lemm.ee already knows Vim, though: Used to use vim for ssh related stuff That's why I asked: Nanoβs only appeal is that itβs beginner-friendly, but you already know Vim, so why switch?

I can open copy save and input mode just fine. All I use it for is fucking with config files and light scripting really. I did start with vim tho because I didn't know about nano and when I did it was bare bones. Today it has syntax highlights so that's a great thing. I keep vim around though but nano is way better than it was when Ubuntu first came out so shouldn't be slept on. If you're gonna do actual programming yes pls use vim I beg you π or better yet an IDE. permalink fedilink source parent [β] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago Don't get it neither, vim is hard to start but once you're a bit familiar with it it's kind of time saving imo I'm not even close to master it (just basics editing) and still find it quite better permalink fedilink source parent [β] dustyData@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Micro exists. It's Nano with Lua plugins. Very robust and minimalist. No magic incantations. I actually use it to code simple stuff that I just don't want to wait a minute for VSCode to spin its wheels. permalink fedilink source parent
