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.

      ^S for unprompted save is in the default keybinds, not that I could say when it was added. (Pretty sure it wasn’t a pico 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 ^W in Firefox to use nano’s “whereis” to find something that’d be great.

      For those unaware, it closes the current tab. Or the whole browser. Ugh.

        :GASP: ^S does save! I have played myself for a fool all these years!!

        Now I just have to unlearn ^X, Y, enter. . . :thisisfine:

        Firefox desperately needs a way to customize keyboard shortcuts, especially to disable them. Shortkeys isn’t really enough.

          True. Other tools include: Ctrl+Shift+N to bring back a closed window if there’s another window of the same browser instance still open, and when there isn’t, there’s Restore Previous Session which is accessible a couple of ways.

          Neither bring back the comment that was being typed in a textbox on the page though. Guess when I usually ^W

        ^S works!! …As revealed by our kind palindromic friend on the other sibling comment! Why they don’t just list it on the statusbar we would never know!

    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.

        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.

    What does “modern” mean? Emacs-like? Vim-like? Some other bastard system?
