What about nano? Is it OK to choose a safe middle ground? I mean with ed I could just as well use butterflies.

BTW, notepad++ is popular on Windows. That's the sort of software what gets hijacked.

    Vim and Emacs are popular in ultra critical environments, and as far as we know they aren't compromised by any intelligence agency.

    nano likes you too. But real h4x0rs use vim. Or emacs if they have 40 fingers.

    You operate better in Emacs if you touch type, but you should learn to touch type if you work in an editor a lot

    You rarely need to hold more than crtl, shift and a character, and you have ctrl and shift both sides of the keyboard so it's easy

    Meta is toggled in the default configuration tap it then do whatever key combinations.

    Ctrl+g cancels partly complete commands

    I love nano, if only because nano means child in my language, and as slang it's more or less equivalent to "bro"

    Bro, please I need to edit my docker compose.

    I know it's only funny for me. That's enough

    depends,
    do you want to edit the textfile, or nanodit it?
