I almost feel like this a somewhat pointless feature. It’s almost easier to just learn the default ones as opposed to adding “-modernbindings” or creating an “enano” variant/copy.
After all that, no

for unprompted save is in the default keybinds, not that I could say when it was added. (Pretty sure it wasn’t apico
thing, but that leaves quite a bit of time unaccounted for.)Muscle memory for other editors kicked in when I was editing something and did a literal slow realisation and double-take when it worked.
Now if only I could stop pressing

FYI:

That’s your opinion.
I like updating it to modern conventions. One day they become default and on another day you get rid of the old ones. The people of the future don’t have to learn two sets of keybindings.
It’s definitely just my opinion. Honestly did not mean to imply otherwise.
I would almost prefer them to just switch to the new keybindings by default in version 8.0.
It’s definitely just my opinion. Honestly did not mean to imply otherwise.
For my opinion I usually create a comment below my post to seperate my opinion and the post itself.
On-topic: I do believe it’s useful to have this switch and there’s nothing stopping distros to change their default. Completely replacing the default keybindings might be surprising to long time users, but I also believe it should be done at some point. For the meantime this switch can be simply added as an alias.
Wait, people are still using nano?
Ships with Gentoo by default, since you actually need a nongraphical editor there and nano is easier to learn than vi or emacs.
Nano rock!!!, it get the jobs done and doesn’t make everything difficult for no reason
Well yeah, for computers in kindergarten schools.
What does “modern” mean? Emacs-like? Vim-like? Some other bastard system?
Read the Article. Modern like what most Graphical Editors Ship.
So “some other bastard system” it is, then.
That’s a shame; a GNU project should be consistently GNU-like (i.e. adopt Emacs key bindings).

If Emacs keybindings are good enough to be the system default for Mac users, they should be good enough for anybody.

No, there is and always has been just the one standard text editor.
