Nano Command Linux

Description of Use

Nano is a text editor of a character terminal, a bit like the editor program under DOS. It is much simpler than Vi/vim, which is more suitable for Linux beginners. The default editor for some Linux distributions is nano. (Nano-nano ' s another editor, an enhanced free Pico clone. It's not iPod Nano. The previous sentence was excerpted from the manual page of the Nano command, which I added later.

Common parameters

The Nano command opens the specified file for editing, and by default it automatically breaks lines, which are automatically split into rows when you enter too much content in a row, but handling some files in this way can be problematic, such as configuration files for Linux systems, Automatic line breaking will make the content that can only be written on one line broken into many lines, it is possible to cause the system is not the spirit. So, if you want to avoid this situation, add the-w parameter. (-W (--nowrap) = Disable wrapping of long lines.)

Format:nano-w FILE

You can add an alias to the end of the/etc/profile

Alias nano= "Nano-w"

After you save the login, you can let the shell automatically add this parameter for you, that is, the input Nano file is equivalent to nano-w file.

Using the example example one

[Email protected] ~]# nano-w TEST.BC

After the execution, a full-screen interface will appear. Note that the bottom two lines are hints for some shortcut keys.

GNU Nano 1.3.12 FILE:TEST.BC 123*321 123/321 scale=4;123/321 ^g Get help ^o writeout ^r Read File ^y Prev Page ^k Cut Text ^c Cur Pos ^x Exit ^j Justify ^w Where is ^v Next Page ^u UnCut Text ^t to Spell

Here are the tips for the bottom two lines. ^g means ctrl+g, just hold down the CTRL key and press G, then release, and so on.

^g Get Help

Exit ^x exit

^o Writeout Save

^j Justify

^r Read file reading files

^w Where is lookup string

^y Prev Page Prev

Interested can try it on their own, I generally still use Vi/vim.
