Quick Reference card for Nano and Pico
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are two extremely simple Unix text editors. Pico is the older and weaker
of the two. Nano has a few more features.
Control keys are the ways to do special things like exit, search, etc. There are
blocks across the bottom of the screen that tell you what they are.
You are always in insert mode. Just start typing. Use the arrow keys to move
around.
In the following ^X stands for Control-X and means "Hold down Ctrl key while
typing X." Esc-G is similar except you use the Escape key.
Stopping and savings:
^x Exit. It prompts you if you want to save, and if so, under what name.
So this is both Save, Save As, and Quit with no sae.
Search:
^w search, stands for "where is". Do repeatedly for find next
Position:
^c current line, displays which line number you are on, and how many
lines total
Esc-g goto a certain line
Cutting, copying and pasting
^k cut one line (can't cut more than one)
^u paste the line from the paste buffer, this is used for copying, too
More
^g help
(Some of these features are not available in pico. Nano has it all.)
