From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Changing from a distro that defaults to nano to another that defaults to vim... What to do other than installing nano and changing visudo?

Yeah cutting text with ctrl+k instead of ctrl+x (because that's exit) and copying with alt +6 instead of ctrl+c.

Mao.

In emacs ctrl+y is paste, which is weird to me because i'm pretty sure even in emacs the logic is that y stands for yank, but in every other program i've used so far yank means copy, not paste. In the end though i feel like muscle memory from other editors don't bother me as much, and i can learn multiple at the same time. I started with evil mode for vim bindings for a short while, but now i'm diving into pure emacs bindings.

Yeah, that's what the shortcut hint shows, champ.

Why doesn't my Lemmy comment box show shortcut hints? How will I know the shortcut for copy, cut and paste? I tried pressing alt+6 but it did nothing. Curse you Ecmascript from 1997!

Which command-line program are you using to access Lemmy?

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Should only command line programs show their keyboard shortcuts?

This entire post is about terminal-based editors, buddy.
