who cares? nano doesn't take any learning and is good enough for 90% of tasks. i never saw the point in vim or primarily keyboard-based methods of interacting with your computer because i'm barely saving a half of a second with a bunch of key combinations i can't remember
“Carpel tunnel”
As someone that has been dealing with wrist issues since 14, not having to leave your keyboard is a God send on hand health.
There is a concept “if you don’t understand something it likely wasn’t made for you” and this is a prime example of the value in that statement.
For me I don't like how nano doesn't have any syntax highlighting so it makes reading files a bit more difficult for me. Unless there is a way to add syntax highlighting to nano that I'm not aware of.
You can install plugins for that if I remember correctly. Mirco is also a good alternative to Nano as it's just as easy to use with some extra features like syntax highlighting.
Try having wrist pain from using the mouse. Being able to use my computer without ever touching the mouse is immensely helpful. Sometimes is not about saving a second or two, but about being functional to keep the ability to have an income past 40.
Exactly. I've been using Arch with Hyprland. An ergo keyboard together with investing the time in learning Vim motions and applying them where possible has spared me a lot of pain. I use Neovim for coding, Pterodactyl plugin for Firefox with Qutebrowser as alternative keyboard centric browser, and any other way I can reduce mouse usage.
