Love your content, way back in 90's when i started learning Unix as sideline to my job supporting DOS/Windows banks trading floor workstations that my company supplied with our real time market data product, the biggest learning curve i had was learning the locations of various files and the unix commend line editors as they were so different to DOS 'edit', i recall the commend back then was 'ed'....i wish Nano was available back then, thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Back in university, the first Computer Science course was taught using Pascal on DOS. The next class was using a language called Modula-3 on UNIX (Solaris), or Linux for those who wanted to try to run it at home, though that's a whole other story about the libc6 disaster). I didn't know how to use any UNIX text editors in those days except for pico, which I believe nano is based on / a clone of. It was pretty terrible for writing code. After the first assignment I was determined to figure out how to use something better. I used Emacs for a while, and then started learning some Vim and never looked back. Unfortunately, the early experience with pico left a bad taste in my mouth and I tend to avoid using nano as a result. I will agree that it's a better first editor when you're only used to DOS/Windows text editing, though...
As a Beginner Linux user, I found nano really easy for basic things (Changing .conf files) but when I used Vim I almost panicked cuz I didn´t know how to save a file and much less getting out of that thing.
Hey everyone Linux Noob here with quick question... So at 6:00 if I add a . at the end instead of a path, does it copy the file to the root or the current directory?
I haven't worried about line numbers since I programmed in basic in 1987. I need to know how to find multiple occurrences of strings, how to undo, how do duplicate text, more on copy/paste. Spell checking is the last thing I need to know if a code editor.
How can I change the content of existing nano file that comes with kali linux virtual box? I'm having troubles with the sudo -apt update. This file comes with the operating system. I didn't create it. Is it possible to change content of nano that came with linux?
I added a line to a file in nano and then I don't know how to save and exit? Do I "append"? The bottom has M-A for append. Which key on my keyboard gives me that function? ( Like the control key plus X is for exit? I'm a real noobie any help appreciated.
vim if you remap the keys a bit. if you paste these into your .vimrc text file it gets you most of the way there: set mouse=a nnoremap i vnoremap x vnoremap y vnoremap p vnoremap d nnoremap / nnoremap u nnoremap inoremap u inoremap :w unhelpfully serious answer: most linux desktops come with an app very similar to notepad such as gedit, kate or mousepad.
I think u forgot to mention the shortcut to jump words back and forth in a long command. For e.g. if someone need to go to 5th word from begining to modify it.
personally i prefere ed ED. The standard text editor. It is the only text editor that isn't bloated. Things like syntax highliting or seeing the document while editing are for noobs and bloat. And this is without even mentioning errors, like who actually needs error messages? A single ? to represent an error is all you need. Ed also does not waste your storage space compared to bolat like vi.
Jay, love your work. Been using Linux for years. However, love learning the fundamentals.

Thank you, Jay. Nano's limitations are offset by how easy it is for quick work.
Editing the nanorc file makes nano so good, it’s my daily driver for most things now.
what changes did you make?
Ive been using nano since it was pico(in the pine email pkg)! I love it.
Nano has been my CLI text editor of choice for a long time now. Just never bothered nor had need to learn vim. It does all I need it to do.
Thank you for all your videos, these are really straight to the point and very easy tu understand, I'm learning a lot! ❤️
No wonder Mork from Ork liked Nano so much. Very useful little tool

Ed is the best
Thanks for the video, as a new linux user, I learned a few new tricks on using nano.
Thanks for this video. I use Vim for so long I never learned how to use Nano.

Thanks for the video, Nano is awsome! ops , sudo apt install spell, Ctrl + T, awesome!
You done a great work. This was just what I needed
Awesome as always Jay! Thanks!

Thanks bro, your way to explain thinks is inspiring
i love micro text editor
I agree. Micro is like having Gedit/Pluma on the command line. Using standard editor functions like CTRL-C and CTRL-V (copy and paste).
9:31 you said without leaving vim :D
Vim doesn't only create muscle-memory for your fingers 😀
I added a line to a file in nano and then I don't know how to save and exit? Do I "append"? The bottom has M-A for append. Which key on my keyboard gives me that function? ( Like the control key plus X is for exit?

Esc + Shift + 4 -- to soft wrap text in nano
My nano does not have spell check ? ctrl t is execute ? I did install spell ???
Thanks for the video. Seems that spell check process with Nano is different in Kali Linux. I guess each distro has a different way to use spell check.
Nano is my ride or die editor!
Many years ago, vi was my editor. I wonder if I still remember how to use it.
What linux text editor is the most like notepad?
vim if you remap the keys a bit. if you paste these into your .vimrc text file it gets you most of the way there:
set mouse=a
nnoremap i
vnoremap x
vnoremap y
vnoremap p
vnoremap d
nnoremap /
nnoremap u
nnoremap
inoremap u
inoremap :w

is there any possibility that you can make a video about nfs ganeasha with pacemaker
nano is quite cool actually
Can nano be configured to show line numbers?
Nano is great
👍
Awesome !!! Lovely and clear
Great work! Thank you
thank you!
Nano is great.
Thanking you.
Salam kenal mas Jay, from Indonesia
Salam!
Hallo! Nano is real great, as is your vid. Awsome 😎
Nano is SO much better than VIM editor.
yeah no
vim ftw
Comment to feed yt algorithm :D
You still talk too much. There is no need to repeat yourself constantly.
Relax
