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
^Sto save 🥲^Sfor unprompted save is in the default keybinds, not that I could say when it was added. (Pretty sure it wasn’t apicothing, 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
^Win Firefox to usenano’s “whereis” to find something that’d be great.For those unaware, it closes the current tab. Or the whole browser. Ugh.
FYI:
ctrl+shift+tbrings back closed tabs.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

^Sdoes 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, I remember the first time I used nano, I was like “Ctrl + O to save, huh?”
^Sworks!! …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.
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.
I got a temporary ban from, I suspect, the only mod in here to have personally blocked me. The mod log accuses me of breaking the rules 1 & 2. Based on the timing, it aligns with my comments in this post. They neither broke the community bulleted rules (about Linux, no misinformation), nor did they break rules of 1 & 2 of lemmy.ml. There was no bigotry, no racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia nor xenophobia. TThere were no individuals disrespected. I seek clarification of how my posts broke the rules, in DM’s please. I am not seeking further ban, just clarification of how those rules cover the opinion that one editor is less than another, lacks necessary features when compared with editors more standard across POSIX compliant systems, and that relying upon its existence could lead to situations where one could be ill equipped for systems where it is not installed, due to it not being such a standard.
I post this as a comment, as I cannot seem to message the entire group of moderators for this community all together, especially where one appears to be unreachable to me… something I don’t think mods of a community should do or even be capable of if they are to carry out their duties properly.
I ask the mods (preferably the mod who took the action, since no mod username is in the modlog… that’s a separate issue) to DM me and delete this or message me here, which ever is preferred. Can’t go navigating safely in here if the alleged offense wasn’t clearly communicated and explained how it violated said rules. I’m not even sure which comment, specifically, was at issue. Right now it feels like something I said was just deeply unpopular with one or more mods, and summarily punished and random rules tossed out.
I’ll delete this in a few days if no mods respond. But clarification without further punishment would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Wait, people are still using nano?
Nano rock!!!, it get the jobs done and doesn’t make everything difficult for no reason
Ships with Gentoo by default, since you actually need a nongraphical editor there and nano is easier to learn than vi or emacs.
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).
There’s already Emacs, Vim, Kakoune, etc for that. Nano is supposed to be the system default for non-advanced users.
There are now 15 standards

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