Introduction

Nano is a text editor suited to working in UNIX.It is not as powerful as PC window-based editors, asit does not rely on the mouse, but still has many useful features.

Most nano commands are invoked by holding down theCtrl key (that is, the control key), andpressing one of the other keys. In this text, the control key isreferred to using ^. For example, ^Xmeans ``hold down the CTRL key and press the x key''. Most of theimportant commands are listed at the bottom of your screen.

Starting nano

To edit a file called filename, typenano filename.

In nano, you can insert another file:

^R	read an existing file into nano (inserted at the current cursor position)
^T	opensa browser that allows you to select a file name from a list of files and directories

Navigation

The usual mouse-based point-and-click method is not supported by nano.Use the arrow keys to move aroundthe page in nano.

Other navigation commands:

^A	move to beginning of line
^E	move to end of line
^Y	move down a page
^V	move up a page
^_	move to a specific line (^_^Vmoves to the top of the file, ^_^Y to the bottom)
^C	find out what line the cursor is currently on
^W	search for some text.

When searching, you will be prompted for the text to search for. Itsearches from the current cursor position, wrapping back up to the topif necessary.

Editing

Insert new text at the current cursorposition just by typing the text in.

Delete commands:

^D	delete character currently under the cursor
BackSpace	delete character currently in front of the cursor
^K	delete entire line
^\	search for (and replace) a strong of characters

Cut and paste

^K does not delete lines permanently; themost recent set of deletions are stored in a buffer. These lines maybe re-inserted at the current cursor location using^U. This may be used to simulatecut and paste:

• Repeatedly use ^K until all of the text you want to move has been deleted.
• Move to the line that you want to insert the text at, and use ^U.

Note that pressing ^U more than once will cause multiple copies tobe inserted. This is particularly useful if you want to copy text:

• Repeatedly use ^K until all of the text you want to copy has been deleted.
• Press ^U immediately to put a copyback in its original location.
• Move to the line that you want to copy the text to, and use ^U.

Saving and Exiting

^O	save contents without exiting(you will be prompted for a file to save to)
^X	exit nano (you will be promptedto save your file if you haven't)
^T	when saving a file, opensa browser that allows you to select a file name from a list of files and directories
