Back it the Old Days when nano was first developed, the standard way
to signify use of the control key was ^, which is still used in the
various terminal programs and the CLI. Whoever wrote nano simply used
the current convention rather than making something up.
I can't understand the "missionary zeal" that some people bring into
the field for Nano. It is more a question of knowledge and, above
all, of requirements for the editor. Nano as default for Workstation
may have some merit, but as default for server it makes more sense to
use vim.
I'm not saying that everybody should switch to nano, just that I
consider it far easier for a beginner to learn for the reasons I've
already given. What I don't understand is why so many people think
that vi/vim is so wonderful unless it's justifying the amount of work
it took them to learn it.
If I need more that vi, then I use geany. We ARE using a gui interface
on most systems and often gui remote into servers.
Of course I have colleagues that say that emacs is all anyone will ever
need. Learn it already and use it. :)
And I still have my O'Rielly book on vi! And Eric Behr "The VI
Editor"circa 1994, rev 1995 in pdf.
