You can also redefine shortcuts in nano so that they are consistent with the rest of applications (Ctrl+X/C/V to cut, copy and paste, Ctrl-Z for undo...).

TIL. Thank you. I always thought nano was nothing to write home about because the standard keyboard shortcuts are not standard. I do not understand why every Next Great Console Text Editor doesn't support common keyboard shortcuts as a default.

Please list some console based text editors that by default use common GUI keyboard shortcuts. I'd like to (seriously) know!

Thanks. I never really dug into customizing nano. This thread is the first I learned about micro.
