________ is a text editor for Unix-like computing systems or operating environments using a command line interface. It emulates the Pico text editor, part of the Pine email client, and also provides additional functionality.[5] Unlike Pico, nano is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). Released as free software by Chris Allegretta in 1999, nano became part of the GNU Project in 2001.[6] The logo resembles the lowercase form of the Greek letter Eta ().

GNU nano was first created in 1999 with the name 8___ (a recursive acronym for 9______________), by Chris Allegretta. His motivation was to create a free software replacement for Pico, which was not distributed under a free software license. The name was changed to nano on January 10, 2000, to avoid a naming conflict with the existing Unix utility 10___. The name comes from the system of SI prefixes, in which nano is 1000 times larger than pico. In February 2001, nano became a part of the GNU Project.

GNU nano implements several features that Pico lacks, including syntax highlighting, line numbers, regular expression search and replace, line-by-line scrolling, multiple buffers, indenting groups of lines, rebindable key support,[7] and the undoing and redoing of edit changes.[8]

On 11 August 2003, Chris Allegretta officially handed the source code maintenance of nano to David Lawrence Ramsey.[9] On 20 December 2007, with the release of 2.0.7, Ramsey stepped down as nano's maintainer.[10] The license was also upgraded to GPL-3.0-or-later.[11] The project is currently maintained by Benno Schulenberg.[12]

On version 2.6.0 in June 2016, the current principal developer and the other active members of the nano project decided in consensus to leave the GNU Project, because of their objections over the Free Software Foundation's copyright assignment policy, and their belief that decentralized copyright ownership does not impede the ability to enforce the GNU General Public License.[13][14][15][16] The step was acknowledged by Debian and Arch Linux,[17][18] while the GNU Project resisted the move and called it a "fork".[19] On 19 August 2016, Chris Allegretta announced the return of the project to the GNU family, following concessions from GNU on copyright assignment for Nano specifically,[20] which happened when version 2.7.0 was released in September 2016.[21]

GNU nano, like Pico, is keyboard-oriented, controlled with control keys. For example, .mw-parser-output .keyboard-key{border:1px solid #aaa;border-radius:0.2em;box-shadow:0.1em 0.1em 0.2em rgba(0,0,0,0.1);background-color:#f9f9f9;background-image:linear-gradient(to bottom,#eee,#f9f9f9,#eee);color:#000;padding:0.1em 0.3em;font-family:inherit;font-size:0.85em}Ctrl+O saves the current file; Ctrl+W goes to the search menu. GNU nano puts a two-line "shortcut bar" at the bottom of the screen, listing many of the commands available in the current context. For a complete list, Ctrl+G gets the help screen.

Unlike Pico, nano uses meta keys to toggle its behavior. For example, Meta+S toggles smooth scrolling mode on and off. Almost all features that can be selected from the command line can be dynamically toggled. On keyboards without the meta key it is often mapped to the escape key, Esc, such that in order to simulate, say, Meta+S one has to press the Esc key, then release it, and then press the S key.

If you enter a file name and that file is not present in the directory, Nano will create a new file. Meanwhile, if you only execute the nano command without specifying the file name, the Nano text editor will create an empty untitled file and ask for a name when you exit the editor.

After running the 1____ command, a new window will pop up where you can freely edit the file. Below is what the interface of the Nano text editor looks like. Just use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the cursor around the text.

If your goal is to find and replace a text, press 2______ and then 3______ to enter the text that you want to search and the text that will replace it. The editor will then take you to the first instance of the text. You can press 4_ to replace one text or 5_ to replace all instances.

When it comes to editing text via command line, Nano is considered one of the easiest tools to use. It beats Vim and Emacs editor, which are known to be overwhelming, especially for novice Linux users.

In this tutorial, you have learned how to use the Nano text editor. We have shown you a lot of useful commands and editing tips to improve your workflow. Now, we hope that you can easily edit text without having to download and re-upload the file.

The above command will open a new file with new_filename as shown in the output. In case the file already exists it will open the same and in case the file is not there in the current directory it will create a new one. At the bottom of the window, there is a list of shortcut keys for nano.

Luckily, additional syntax definition files (extension 7_______) can easily be added to an existing installation of nano and there are a couple of JavaScript ones available on the web. If found a decent on here.

You can rebind individual keybindings by editing your ~/.nanorc file to include keybindings. Unfortunately, nano only supports ^, M- and F as modifiers, so it would be difficult (not to mention tedious) to fit all M- keys elsewhere.

Instead, it might be simpler to rebind the key in your terminal program, or use an external hotkey remapping program. I have no expertise with the latter on Mac, but you could start looking here.

The include line makes use of 44 files installed in /usr/local/share/nano that provide syntax highlighting for a range of languages, including CSS, HTML, JavaScript, JSON, C, Objective-C, PHP, Python, Rust, Ruby, Shell and even .nanorc files themselves. Each file contains a list of regular expressions which Nano uses to colour key words when it opens files of the type(s) indicated by the file, so they can be readily used to create new files for new languages.

Text editors. They aren't something that most users put a lot of thought into. However, not all text editors are alike, and with more time at the terminal, you might find that a particular editor works best for you. I asked several of our contributors to write up a "pro" position for Vim, Nano, and Emacs. Each text editor is represented by one contributor with a great deal of experience with the given editor. We are talking about features, comparisons, and personal experiences. Let's jump into the editors, with Vim up first.

Vim is a lightweight but powerful all-purpose text editor that addresses all your text editing needs, from basic configuration file editing to emulating entire Integrated Development Environments (IDE) for software development.

I've been using Vim in one way or another for over 20 years, but around five years ago, I decided to use Vim for all my text needs. I use Vim to write documentation, code in different programming languages, and I wrote an entire book (400+ pages) using Vim exclusively.

Vim's name is a contraction for Vi Improved as it extends the original vi text editor developed for the Unix operating system in the 1970s/80s. Vim has all the features you'd expect from a modern text editor, such as:

I could list many other features, but this is not what makes Vim different. In my opinion, Vim is the best text editor out there due to a combination of other factors. Let's take a look at those below.

Vim provides a keyboard-only experience. You can do everything in Vim without taking your hands off the keyboard. No context switching with the mouse improves your comfort and efficiency. It also allows a good experience when typing in restricted spaces such as when commuting on a train or bus.

Vim provides simple and fast navigation commands. You can move your cursor with the arrow keys (or "h", "j", "k", "l" to keep your hand on the home row) like other text editors but, when you start using text objects, you increase your efficiency a lot. For example, pressing "w" takes you to the beginning of the next word, "b" back to the previous word, and "$" to the end of the line. You can also combine these with numbers to move faster. For example, "3w" moves to the beginning of the third word. Vim provides many of these navigation commands.

The best part is you can combine these two ideas to create powerful command chains. For example, "dw" deletes all text until the next word, "d$" deletes until the end of the line, and "c3w" changes all text until the third word.

When you first start with Vim, these commands feel awkward but, with a little practice, they make text editing highly efficient. In fact, Vim keybindings are so popular that other editors like Emacs and even many IDE's provide a way to enable/emulate them.

Vim is a fantastic text editor. It's fast, flexible, and powerful, but most of all, it's fun to use. I honestly don't see me doing some of the things that I can do in Vim with any other editor, at least not as efficiently.

I've never used Emacs, mostly because I never felt it would provide anything I couldn't do with Vim with a smaller footprint. Perhaps I'll give it a try someday but, until then, Vim continues to be the main driver for all my text editing requirements.

As already mentioned, other text editors are much more robust, but one feature I prefer by far in Nano is the search capability. Unlike most aspects of Linux, the search feature in Nano is not case sensitive by default though you can easily tell it to be. This comes in handy when you're looking for all instances of a word or if you're not sure what case the word is in. 5376163bf9
