In GNU nano 7.2 (the latest as of this posting, as far as I know), why does Ctrl+Delete delete entire words but not Ctrl+Backspace? How do we restore its correct functionality?

      I cannot stand the yuhjklbn or whatever navigation! How do you even memorize that? It’s so counterintuitive…

        My arrow keys work perfectly fine in vim.

        Vi is not vim.

        How can you say you prefer ^W ^T text to search enter text to replace it with enter

        to: :s/text to search/text to replace/gcenter

          Dude, I tried gvim and I just cannot make heads or tails of its control scheme. It’s Geany for me; your brain is bigger than mine.

            Eh. vi was the original editor. I’ve been around computers since the early 1980s, so it’s just what I’m used to.

            When vim came out in 91 that was a major upgrade, and I already had the muscle memory for vi.

            My home computer from 1983 until 1991 was a C64. But I was dialing into unix gopher servers from about 1985.

            BBSs were more fun, but gopher helped me write term papers for AP/Honors Physics II in high school…
