nano likes you too. But real h4x0rs use vim. Or emacs if they have 40 fingers.

Thank you for not only the laughter this morning but also for perfectly explaining why I always go for nano.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

you nice to me. me thank.

You know, I know the command to leave is written every time emacs is opened, but it confuses me every time.

im pretty sure you can operate emacs with only one finger with some insane configuration tho

lol, but evil is vim keybinds. i was thinking of something more like morse code with one key

I'm pretty sure someone already did a Morse IME that could be used for that.

I have – were I more artistically talented – often wanted to create graphics and stickers for Emacs utilizing the noble octopus.

I used to like nano too. Then I found micro.

[–] NoPanko@feddit.uk 8 points 1 day ago

Yeah micro is my go to these days when i just want a terminal editor that does require me to learn a whole new system for something I’ve been doing most of my life
