You can use nano without having to read anything about nano. That might be the only thing that is better about it than vim, but it’s a damn important thing.
I have zero patience when trying to make small adjustments to files, which is what my command line text editor should be for. Nano just has everything at the bottom in case you forget (I do, frequently) so the workflow is ridiculously streamlined for me
Well, if you dd+p you paste it back again, and then it’s in the clipboard so you can p it in other places. In any case you can u(ndo) it without issues.
yy to copy, dd to cut, p to paste. Need to move 5 lines at once? No problem, move to the first line and use d5d, and p to paste it. Vim gets a bad rap for being confusing, but it’s so fast to move text around once you get the hang of it.

Absolutely. It also has whole-line cut/uncut which is a godsend when working with config files
Ironically, that’s like the one thing I’ve learned to do in Vim.
Because it’s easy, dd to delete a line and p to paste it somewhere else.
Personally I’d be somewhat nervous using
ddto edit parts of a text file, but you do you :)Well, if you dd+p you paste it back again, and then it’s in the clipboard so you can p it in other places. In any case you can u(ndo) it without issues.

That’s what the people who like it like about it.
That’s it’s job
What else is there for it to do?

Yeah it literally follows the UNIX philosophy
Forget KISS, amirite.
nano is just… There when you need a text editor for something. Simple and purposeful
Now that you’ve mentioned it. Notepad is also a pretty decent enough tool for windows users. Nothing fancy, but nothing bad either.
They added tabs recently, and it’ll automatically open the last file you edited (I think as an auto save recovery)
Hopefully next is linting, and then it’ll be renamed Microsoft Code or something 😉
That’s a very good idea. Superb, even. Maybe the name should be Very Superb Code, or VS Code for short.
then they could rename the existing VS Code to VSCode One or VSCode Series S (the S also stands for Superb)
I think you’re on to something there, the name’s pretty catchy.
// generate a joke about electrons and plugins here
Notepad++ is probably the second app I install on any windows PC I use.
what’s the first
A different browser.
It has syntax highlighting and mouse support.
Thats all you really need
