      I always uninstall nano on systems with not much users. On the more busy and established servers, I need to leave it as-is and I have to adjust when visudo opens nano and I forgot to put EDITOR=vim in front of it.

        Can’t uninstall it or my coworkers would go nuts. On systems with separate users, I can set it via .bashrc, but on shared user systems … Well. Above happens.

    I only understand this reference because I worked for a company at one point that had a large number of NeXT and Solaris hosts that only had vi installed with letter key navigation, so my muscle memory does not use arrow keys.

    It’s been so long since I worked on a machine where I couldn’t use the cursor keys in vi, I don’t think I’d even be able to anymore.

    I cannot begin to describe how many times I’ve had to re-type the same info in some input form because I hit esc when I had first finished it!

    ITT: People who don’t use vim and insist we have arrow keys now so don’t need hjkl anymore.

    Coders use word docs?

    I’m not a programmer but I still open up notepad and write in markdown.

    It’s just faster.
