have you heard of Win32Pad? it's another notepad replacement. if i'm in windows, it's my necessity. line numbering, minimize to try, and yet still clean and minimal.

but yeah, i'm currently a nano user. i just think it would be nice to know an editor with a little more power if i should ever want/need it, you know?

also, there is no "skip to last line" shortcut in nano. at least none that i'm aware of..

i also like mcedit, the GNU Midnight Commander editor. i have no idea WHY, but it touches me in a special way. hehe

I just want a simple editor that doesn't effing require me to memorize vast
dictionaries of keycodes to do what I want to do, i.e. edit a text file. I
should be able to use the arrow keys, the delete key, and be able to TYPE. I
shouldn't have to enter "Edit Mode" since I'm in an editor. I should just be
able to edit!

Alternatively, I'll WinSCP to the Linux box and use Notepad++. I rarely even use
the GUI console any more. I'm debating removing X from it totally. Putty and
WinSCP do what I need.
