Just use ed.
Ctrl+D. Easy.
bash: ed: command not found
WHERE GOD NOW?
but... but... Ed is the standard editor 😦

I like micro
I've been in camp Vim for decades, but I almost always suggest micro to people dipping their toe into Linux. I can't imagine thinking nano, or whatever, would be more comfortable unless the person has never used a computer before.
