@systemd I know it's a shitpost, but nano literally showing you at the bottom of the screen what its important commands are is one of the reasons I like it so much better :p

@HunterZ @systemd i hate emacs and vim passionately. nobody has time to remember all their arcane rituals to make shit work. last time i tried to shut down emacs i gave up and just bought a new computer.

@blogdiva @HunterZ @systemd in seriousness... the first time I used Linux I couldn't make ping stop pinging, so I pulled the plug

@blogdiva @HunterZ @systemd The one time I was stuck on a machine with only vim installed, I found it easier to edit the files with sed and cat.

BS. I use both, and after a decade you can usually even write basic Emacs Lisp without needing to google it.

Not that the modern Emacs with its customize interface requires much of that.

Gorgeous na Shock!

@HunterZ @systemd Those don't stop the muscle memory, tho! Whenever I'm stuck in a ramdisk or something with just nano I end up with a ton of :ws in whatever I'm editing. 😩

@indigoparadox sometimes, i try going down with J or ) outside vim

@HunterZ @systemd So do a version of this where someone literally types in ^X^X^X^X^X^X over and over.

@HunterZ @systemd because ^ is obviously control? And you've wasted space...
