I know it's not the point you were answering too, but this is exactly why I don't think I will be comfortable in nano, ever. I already know vim, and I don't really bother to remember another set of shortcut just for nano.

When vi/vim aren't available, I usually just end up using sed.

The only thing you need to remember with Nano is that ^ means Ctrl. The rest you can find by reading the menus or the built-in help.

Which is why I prefer Nano over vim, I don't edit _that_ much from the console so I only have one easy thing to remember.

That's reasonable, but all the things a I listed are on the standard help bar, so the learning curve is minimal.

If there's no nano available like on busybox, I'll default to vi, but I don't prefer it.
