Nano Text Editor Course

Relevance: 12.34
Nano is an alternative text editor. The key sequences in nano are entered using the keyboard, making nano a"modeless" editor, unlike vim. With the exception of Control and Meta key sequences, all the keys will enter text into the file being edited. You do not have to switch modes at all. In addition, nano provides some text aids. The 2.0 release enhances the usability and features of nano. Centos still used version 1.3. UTF-8 support Improved color syntax highlighting Copy text without cutting Verbatim input mode Repeat last seach w/o confirmation (Meta-W) Spell check/replace selected text only Indent marked text Move to beginning/end of paragraph Search within the file browser Mixed file format auto-conversion

One of the first things I did after buying the g1 was make a list of what I felt were"essential apps". One of the tools I needed was a text editor, because, let's face it, with a"mini computer" in your pocket you'll need a way of creating and editing text files.
