Nano Command Line Text Editor

Updated 28-Jun-2024

Nano is pretty awesome, fully open source, and has mnemonics for most commands. Note that I use Fish Shell on OSX, CentOS and Ubuntu. Various benefits accrue, when scripting and also autocomplete and such.

Various Commands and Such

• Set Nano as default editor of git in OSX

Search and Replace

Apparently this is also case sensitive

Ctrl \
Enter your search term      [press return]
Enter your replacement term [press return]
A                           [to replace all instances]
