#today so is there an easy to read "nano for dummies" thing I can read? it's been a minute since I last used it. I rfeally do notg want to mess this up. Yall make that editor look so so easy to use.
Some quick tips/keyboard shortcuts: You can use your arrow keys to move around just like you would in any other editor. Search: ctrl W, type a query in and press enter. CTRL o: Save changes. CTRL X: Exit, if you have unsaved changes it'll ask you if you would like to save them. alt comma/full stop. Cycle between open buffers. Usually I just pass multiple filenames to nano if I know I'm going to be editing a few files, and then cycle between buffers this way. CTRL 6. Set the start marker for text selection. Alt 6. Copies the text once you have navigated to where you would like the selection to end. If you want to cut the text instead, use CTRL k.
