    I’ve been using nano for 10+ years. Found micro and it is superior. Had to alias nano so that it opens micro instead, though. Hard to break such habits.

        I could see that if you’re more skilled at something like vim.

          I like nano, the ctrl-x is so easy to remember I hate having to fumble through a man page to try to conjure up the vague memory of a :q-whatever-combo

          Edit: micro is ctrl-s then ctrl-q. Guess thats nice too… guess I can give it another shot

          Ok i think i overeacted. I couldn’t figure out how to exit it, so i assumed it was like vim. Needed to exit Termux manually (which i hate) but the ctrl+s & q is easy to remember. Will consider it another option to remember like cat and bat

            Ah, gotcha. Yeah the keybindings are very sensible especially for people coming from Windows. I do think it’s better than Nano for newcomers.
