I’ve been using linux for ~7 years now. Like most self taught. But this semester i have a teacher introducing Linux to his students. I personally love this, having convinced 3 friends over the last few months to switch to Linux. The problem exists that I do every thing the way i’ve learned. This includes using nano over vi, for command line editing. I have always heard of vi and the power it brings. But i used it and i used nano, and a few other editors and found nano the most friendly.
Im upset that It took me this long to figure out about the .nanorc file. Its not like I dont know about those pesky hidden config files. I just didnt think to look into for nano. So my teacher told us to get his .vimrc to set up some keys and syntax coloring. Light Bulb!
articles on the .nanorc file. Here is the nano documentation. And a copy of my .nanorc file. just put this in your home ~/ folder
