Text editor war
Low quality meme
rikudou, 
As a nano user, I fully agree.
damnthefilibuster, Seriously. Nano is the best.
Norgur, I
Seriously... it isn't

o right there with ya bud.esc :wq!
GodsKillerKirb, I HATE that I am still in the habbit of doing esc :wq whenever I want, or need, to save and quit.
Bishma, 
dgg:wq
ziggurat, Why did you do that! I deleted my whole file! It was important
Bishma, I left the G off the beginning as a guardrail.
morrowind, 
Really the users of any other editor. We just see you as a bunch of nerds. But you build good stuff
miss_brainfart, 
xed supremacy
sir_pronoun, How dare you
lurch, I recently worked on a system that had the TERM variable botched and filtered and no nano, just vim. It was all hell. The escape sequences in vim wouldn’t work. I ended up suspendig it with ctrl+z, killing it, then editing the config with fucking ed and sed. That hoster sucks.
db2, Name and shame.
squaresinger, Vim can do much more than nano, but for it to work, quite a few specific stars need to align, and if they don’t you are screwed.
Nano on the other had just works. If it exists in your env.
cetvrti_magi, 
Both are good but I prefer Vim.
geekworking, +1 for nano. I just need to change two parameters in a config file, not join a religion.
skyin7, Amen!
Damage, When the holy war comes, you’ll be among the first sacrifices!
nyahlathotep, 
Ehh, that’s fine. I’m not too psyched about living in whatever comes afterward.
IWantToFuckSpez, Wouldn’t the first be Vimulation users? They are the Pretenders.
bingbong, Blasphemers!
woelkchen, 
I just need to change two parameters in a config file, not join a religion.
But Nano is a GNU utility what use Ctrl-O for Save.
laurelraven, No wonder I can never remember how to do anything in nano, at least vi’s commands generally make sense
Kusimulkku, I recently switched to micro that is similar but with more sane key combos.
Now I just mistakenly use nano combos. Back to nano it is lol
glasgitarrewelt, Nano is only helpfull because of this nifty little info bar at the bottom… No one can actually remember nano-shortcuts.
GBU_28, Up down left and right?
I guess ctrlx enter y ? But it has a prompt
cyanarchy, Consider micro. The shortcuts for editing test are what I expect them to be everywhere else I edit text.
cows_are_underrated, Nano Shortcuts are shit. Like CTRL+X to save. What the fuck??? Why not use CTRL+S for this?
lemmyingly, (edited ) Ctrl + X is eXit. Ctrl + S is Save without a prompt.
state_electrician, I had to learn vi because it was installed everywhere and nano didn’t exist yet. I always thought the holy war to be very silly, and even though many treat it as such, there are too many who take it seriously.
queue, 
If I have to edit in a terminal: micro
If I need to edit something larger, and want a GUI: Kate
Anything else I flirt with and then drop promptly once I can’t find the time to really learn it.
nightwatch_admin, I’m a fkn vi user and I will say that it is not entirely wrong. ^:wq
BaroqueInMind, 
I'm a neovim user and I'm better than you :!q
jodanlime, 
My boy vim will always be king in my heart. ZZ
_cnt0, Heathen!

I ONLY EDIT TEXT BY TOGGLING OUT ASCII CODES ON A ROW OF SWITCHES DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO MY PARALLEL PORT\n
ziggurat, I know your lying, because if you did, you would write a mix of capital and lower case letter, because one of the switches would control that bit
TimeSquirrel, (edited ) I COULD ONLY AFFORD SIX SWITCHES. BIT 5 HAS A PULLDOWN RESISTOR ON IT\n
bobo, This guy did it back in the 80s:
dansity, Just use notepad++ with wine like any normal person do
xylogx, Notepadqq is a thing, you know.

Kusimulkku, That’s horrific
MigratingtoLemmy, I’d probably use helix/codium with vim bindings for more complex projects, with vim for Scripting in python/shell/config files
auf, Finally, a helix user 🤝
MigratingtoLemmy, TBH I haven’t used helix extensively, but I do like that I can just expect things like auto-complete and linting to work, which I would usually expect from something like vscodium, but that’s not cli. So yes, helix is nice. I’m just a bit afraid that I’ll forget my vim bindings because helix does things a little differently:
wdinstead ofdw
ndupont, mcedit for life
einlander, Mcedit is great. It reminds me of the later versions of edit.com on DOS.
ndupont, (edited ) For me it’s like riding a bike, I’ve probably been using Norton Commander since I was 10. DOS 3.3, Windows 2 was just a gimmick.
Gort, Thought I was going to be the only one.
