Very clever... (lemmy.ml)

I'm trying out Obsidian for taking notes, and this made me laugh.

It's hard to hate nano, but IMHO there also isn't anything to like in particular either. It's basically a TUI notepad. It's there, it lets people edit files... and that's pretty much all there is to it.

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

[-] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] DaPorkchop_@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

Personally I'd be somewhat nervous using dd to edit parts of a text file, but you do you :)

[-] fushuan@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] bpm@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

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.
