Dunno what you used, but nano is literally a text editor that may be simple simple but it just works. Shortcuts are shown to the user, buttons work like you expect them to (arrow keys, ESC, shift, etc)
With vim you open it and if you haven’t read 5pages of doc you won’t even be able to close it again. I see that its useful for pier users, but for casuals who just want to edit a config once in a while nano is absolutely the way to go imho

It’s not that simplle or user friendly when none of the usual shortcuts work. C-a did something completely unexpected.
Well its shown to you at the bottom of the screen what it does…
And if you want Ctrl v,c,s etc. To work like in word etc you can always use nano --modernbindings
They’re in Linux now, it should show the shortcuts they’ll encounter everywhere. Not leftovers from another system.
I am with you in this one!
