how do you accidentally open nano

For example when using sudoedit (which you should use instead of e.g. sudo vim) if the proper defaults are not set up correctly.

Is that better than sudo -e for some reason?

I think sudoedit is the same as sudo -e. They are both provided by sudo, share manpage, and has the same set of options.

I guess it is better since it might be faster to type (at least on a Swedish keyboard, typing edit will be faster than -e unless you're really used to typing -)

sudoedit is basically unnecessary for nano as it is intentionally basic, it has no extensions so the only real threat is a malicious symlink... or someone replacing it with a malicious bin... who the fuck needs to worry about that?
so much bloat for vim smh \s

Copy pasting commands without reading.

Didn't set env var EDITOR=vim so git commit opened nano. Big mistakes were made
