Thanks for Your article, that said I would suggest that "nano" is NOT a suitable "text editor" for "normal Linux users" ((as should be evident by other comments here... and other "nano threads")) Rather nano is imo a "rudimentary code editor" that is highly targeted towards people that think that "relearning default use patterns" is worth wile for the "efficiency gains" that this can give. Though I believe it can be argued that there are better programs for that as well. Of course "to each their own" but in my opinion the best that can be said for nano is that "it's there"... Best regards

Hi,

In LMDE I can use shit + Arrow up/down to select text.

In Linux mint 20 I can not shift-Arrow to mark text.

Anyone knows a solution.

It makes me hate Linux more and more every day, this unpredictable behaviors without any way to set defaults for cross Distro behavior.

Best regards in advance

"To mark a text press Ctrl + ^" -- wrong, it's Alt+A. "To copy the marked text press Alt + ^" -- wrong, it's Alt+6.

@Duaa,

Please cross-check that you have edited the correct file under the Apache root document directory.

Hi,

I am new to Linux and nano. I recently wanted to edit an html file for which I came across nano. However, when I use the nano command on my bash terminal and edit the file, save and exists, everything is good. But when I open it in the browser, whatever I had edited in the html file, it doesn’t reflect on my apache or my webpage. what should I do?
