Nano literally tells you all the shortcuts to your face.
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.
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.
