Solved Which text editor to use?

[MikeRocor]

Just out of curiosity, how on Earth have we had a thread this long about text editors without so much as a flame war, let alone an all out religious jihusade (tm)? Are people actually more interested in -what- we type rather than -how- we type it? Have we actually grown up? And if we have, can we ctrl-z that?

jihusade : a non-denominational "holy war" (imtu)

imtu : "I Made That Up"

---

ctrl-z : the "undo" one, not the "scroll up" one

I've used Nano a bit, but it's visually very stark. I've heard of emacs and another one I can't remember the name of right now. But what text editor do other here use?

Use micro, it is very simple. It is not a GUI but provides features like in GUI . Pretty simple to use in terminal.
Controls are similar to GUI editors like
ctrl+s
ctrl+z
ctrl+o to open existing file
ctrl+q to quit
ctrl+x to cut and v to paste
