nano - A simple text editor like vi

Hi,

For people who feel that 'vi' is hard to work then switch to 'nano'.

Like 'vi/vim' this 'nano' also there in almost all linux flavors.

I use it for simple text editing like correcting a word/line in a text file.

Below is the sample screen.

command: $nano


The above screen is having nothing in it, Its actually a fresh editor. We can type something you want and no need to remember any command like 'vi'(esc...i,..etc). Almost all commands it shows on the screen and there is no confusion also.


I usually two of them for regular usage
1) storing - ctrl+o --> Enter
2) closing - ctrl+x

That's all...

If you have interest to know more then take commands helps displaying on the screen.
