I've installed nano on every Linux system I've ever worked on, if it wasn't already there of course. For me, it's so much easier to work with than vim, for changing config files etc.

I only wish line numbers were enabled by default, or at least there was a simple and easily discoverable way to enable them.

echo "set linenumbers" > ~/.nanorc

Huh, I seem to remember it being more arcane than that, but in truth it's been a few years since I bothered trying.

Anyway, thanks - this looks easy to remember!
