It shows a message which wastes valuable screen estate, especially on low resolution terminals, containing a message I have to read every single time because the keys are not in muscle memory, and never will because the bindings are stupid.
On systems I have control over the reaction to nano popping up is exiting, removing it, making sure the package system blocks reinstallation attempts, and go back to what I was initially doing in a sane editor.
My man, most of us aren’t connecting to our mainframes on VT20s these days. Even on my phone screen the three extra lines nano takes over vi aren’t a problem.
Also if you have the time to go through all that you have the time to learn ctrl+x.
I don’t do that much search and replace in any terminal based text editor to actually use that on a regular basis. If I need edits like that, I use a GUI text editor.
As long as I get to use modifier keys, almost anything is fine with me. We don’t live in the 70s, that was 50 years ago. If backwards compatibility is what they’re after, I’m sorry but I think they overdid it. Plus, you can just add them, the defaults don’t need to be changed.
I always get annoyed when I’m on some system and nano pops up and I need to figure out how to kill that thing.
Nano literally tells you all the shortcuts to your face.

Sometimes I’m on call and all I have is my 3DS! Stop assuming by maximum screen resolution :'(
I know you kid but even the 3ds fits a decent number of lines on screen.
You have so much pent up emotion over a text editor. Life can be so much more my friend!
First day on linux?
You know the bell curve meme? I’m just beyond this.
Same. As a vim user I now can’t quit nano.
Very intuitive - Ctrl + X… unlike vim.
gg/un2x?-d/like
FTFY
I’m not planning on googling that 😒.
result: Very intuitive like vim.
gg- top of the file/un- find “un” place cursor at u2x- remove 2 characters?-- search backwards for the character-d/like- delete everything up until the characterslikeSee, intuitive!

Sure, I just hate moving from mouse to keyboard every few seconds as I code.

Why not just using Micro? Ctrl + Q. Intuitive af
Yeah, sure, that works as well.
