I spend most of my time with headless Ubuntu server or Raspbian (a Debian derivatives distro for Raspberry Pi).
So naturally I use ‘nano’ to edit various configurations files and Python Scripts.
Here are several ‘nano’ shortcuts for your references
Searching
- CTRL-W : search text string
- ALT-W : repeat search
- ALT-B : Backward search
Search and Replace
- CTRL-\ search and replace
Cut, Copy and Paste
- CTRL-K : Cut text
- CTRL-V : Paste text
- M-^ or ESc-^ : Copy text
Save and Exit
- CTRL-O : Save file
- CTRL-X : Exit nano
Indentation (useful for Python)
- M-} : Indent Right
- M-{ : Indent Left (unindent)
That’s all which I can share for today…
