alt Hacker NewsBefore I used micro & ne I used nano, and configured the keybindings to work in the CUA style. I still have the dot files, didn't delete them, but they rarely get used anymore.
I think they recently added Ctrl+S to save by default, even if unconfigured, woohoo.

For CUA aficionados, I recommend dte[0]. It has replaced my nano usage quite a lot.

I knew it! A junior dev recently used CTRL-S in nano and I couldn't believe that it actually worked.
They told me it had always been this way and I felt stupid for a bit. Good to know it's a recent addition.
