This is blatantly OT, but amongst nano's advanced features, is there a |
| 8 |
shortcut to delete the last word..? I don't see it mentioned in the FAQ |
| 9 |
or the man page at the GNU site. |

ISTR this function is ^w in vi, and I was very surprised to be unable |
| 12 |
to find an equivalent in nano when I installed Gentoo. At the end of |
| 13 |
the day I have low requirements of a text editor, and multiple |
| 14 |
backspaces suffice me. Indeed, I never bothered learning vi properly in |
| 15 |
the first place - I only ever used it in my previous distro because it |
| 16 |
was "thrust" upon me when migrating to Linux / Unix, and initially |
| 17 |
found it much harder to use than Windows notepad. At the end of the |
| 18 |
day, for a new user nano is not so bad. |
