I almost feel like this a somewhat pointless feature. It’s almost easier to just learn the default ones as opposed to adding “-modernbindings” or creating an “enano” variant/copy.

That’s your opinion.
I like updating it to modern conventions. One day they become default and on another day you get rid of the old ones. The people of the future don’t have to learn two sets of keybindings.
It’s definitely just my opinion. Honestly did not mean to imply otherwise.
I would almost prefer them to just switch to the new keybindings by default in version 8.0.

For my opinion I usually create a comment below my post to seperate my opinion and the post itself.
On-topic: I do believe it’s useful to have this switch and there’s nothing stopping distros to change their default. Completely replacing the default keybindings might be surprising to long time users, but I also believe it should be done at some point. For the meantime this switch can be simply added as an alias.

After all that, no
^Sto save 🥲^Sfor unprompted save is in the default keybinds, not that I could say when it was added. (Pretty sure it wasn’t apicothing, but that leaves quite a bit of time unaccounted for.)Muscle memory for other editors kicked in when I was editing something and did a literal slow realisation and double-take when it worked.
Now if only I could stop pressing
^Win Firefox to usenano’s “whereis” to find something that’d be great.For those unaware, it closes the current tab. Or the whole browser. Ugh.
FYI:

Neither bring back the comment that was being typed in a textbox on the page though. Guess when I usually

^X, Y, enter. . . :thisisfine:Firefox desperately needs a way to customize keyboard shortcuts, especially to disable them. Shortkeys isn’t really enough.
True, I remember the first time I used nano, I was like “Ctrl + O to save, huh?”
^Sworks!! …As revealed by our kind palindromic friend on the other sibling comment! Why they don’t just list it on the statusbar we would never know!
What does “modern” mean? Emacs-like? Vim-like? Some other bastard system?
Read the Article. Modern like what most Graphical Editors Ship.
So “some other bastard system” it is, then.
That’s a shame; a GNU project should be consistently GNU-like (i.e. adopt Emacs key bindings).

If Emacs keybindings are good enough to be the system default for Mac users, they should be good enough for anybody.

No, there is and always has been just the one standard text editor.
Wait, people are still using nano?
Nano rock!!!, it get the jobs done and doesn’t make everything difficult for no reason
Ships with Gentoo by default, since you actually need a nongraphical editor there and nano is easier to learn than vi or emacs.
Well yeah, for computers in kindergarten schools.
